Alkaline Hydrolyzable-Nitrogen, Seeding Date, And Clay-Fixed Ammonium As Potential Indicators Of Rice Response To Nitrogen Fertilization In Arkansas, Anthony Michael Fulford

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Several potential indicators of rice (Oryza sativa L.) response to nitrogen (N) fertilization include the soil<&rsquos>s alkaline hydrolyzable<&minus>N (AH<&minus>N) concentration, seeding date, and the soil<&rsquos>s clay<&minus>fixed NH4<&ndash>N content. Three studies were conducted to: (1) correlate AH<&minus>N, determined using Illinois Soil Nitrogen Test (ISNT) or Nitrogen Soil Test for Rice (N<&minus>STaR), to plant parameters of interest and develop a fertilizer N rate calibration curve capable of predicting the 95% relative grain yield (RGY) fertilizer N rate for rice grown on clayey soils; (2) evaluate the influence of seeding date and N …
