Growth Response Of Kenhy Fescue To Nitrogen Fertilizer, Kenneth L. Wells, Robert C. Buckner, George Armstrong, Paul Gray, C. E. Wyatt

Agronomy Notes

Kenhy fescue is a new, improved variety of tall fescue which has recently been released by the University of Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station and the U.S.D.A. Agricultural Research Service (see University of Kentucky publication AGR-60, "Kenhy A New Tall Fescue Variety"). Seed of this variety should become available to farmers in limited quantities in the summer 1977. The purpose of this report is to provide information on how this newly developed fescue variety produces as affected by time and rate of nitrogen application.

Movement Of Soil Nitrate Through A Pembroke Soil As Affected By Tillage Method And Time Of Nitrogen Application, Noel T. Johnston

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Of all the plant nutrients, nitrogen has been subjected to the most extensive study. The amount of inorganic nitrogen in the soil is small while the quantity needed annually by crops is comparatively large. Of the macronutrients usually applied in commercial fertilizers, nitrogen seems to have the quickest and most pronounced effect on plant growth.

In applying the nitrogen fertilizer for crop use, one must be concerned with placement, form, and availability, and with keeping the fertilizer where it is placed throughout the critical part of the growing season. The nitrogen supply molded by non-leguminous plants is of extreme importance …
