Due to economic and environmental consequences of N lost from fertilizer applications in corn (Zea mays L.), considerable public and industry attention has been devoted to the development of N decision tools. Needed are research and databases and associated metadata, at numerous locations and years to represent a wide geographic range of soil and weather scenarios, for evaluating tool performance. The goals of this research were to conduct standardized corn N rate response field studies to evaluate the performance of multiple public-domain N decision tools across diverse soils and environmental conditions, develop and publish new agronomic science for improved …

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is undergoing development as a biomass crop to support conversion of cellulosic biomass to energy. To avoid the competition of biomass with food or feed crops, most commercialization proposals suggest that switchgrass should be grown exclusively on marginal lands that are not fit for food or feed production. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential for cultivar x environment interactions that would affect the methods and approaches for breeding and evaluating switchgrass cultivars, including both upland and lowland types, for high-input versus low-input types of environments. Biomass yield was measured on 14 cultivars …

Identification of winter wheat genotypes that are highly adapted to a wide range of environmental conditions is one of the most important wheat research objectives. Multienvironment trials (METs) under diverse environments is a commonly used practice to evaluate mean performance and yield stability. However, locations used and genotypes planted may vary from year to year which may cause yield stability analysis to be statistically challenging. In this study, we evaluated yield trial data containing 117 eastern soft red winter wheat genotypes that were grown in 35 locations in eastern production areas and four growing seasons (2012/2013 to 2015/2016). We used …
