Dynamics Of Post-Flowering Nitrogen Uptake And Nitrogen Recovery Efficiency Using 15n Isotope Labeling In Corn, J. A. Fernandez, J. B. Nippert, I. A. Ciampitti Jan 2020

Dynamics Of Post-Flowering Nitrogen Uptake And Nitrogen Recovery Efficiency Using 15n Isotope Labeling In Corn, J. A. Fernandez, J. B. Nippert, I. A. Ciampitti

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

In corn (Zea maysL.), breeding and selection for grain yield over time has been accom­panied by a simultaneous increase in plant nitrogen (N) uptake. The understanding of plant N dynamics has attracted attention due to the environmental concerns related to N losses coming from fertilization. This research study was implemented to 1) describe N uptake and allocation dynamics, and 2) quantify fertilizer recovery efficiency across late-N strategies. Two field experiments (one under irrigation and one rainfed) were conducted at the Ashland Bottoms Research Farm, KS, during 2017. Three hybrids with different year of release and three N scenarios …


Corn Yield Response To Nitrogen In North-Central Kansas, A. A. Correndo, I. A. Ciampitti Jan 2020

Corn Yield Response To Nitrogen In North-Central Kansas, A. A. Correndo, I. A. Ciampitti

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The aim of this study was to evaluate the response of corn (Zea maysL.) grain yield to nitrogen (N) fertilizer. During the 2019 cropping season, an N rate experiment in corn was established in Scandia, KS, evaluating five N fertilizer rates as UAN (28-0-0) under both dryland and irrigated conditions. Average yields ranged from 138 to 236 bu/a under rainfed and from 153 to 249 bu/a for irrigated conditions. Under both dryland and irrigated conditions, maximum yields were achieved with an N rate of about 161 lb/a. Total N supply was calculated as N at planting plus fertilizer …
