Corn Seedling Damage From Ammonia, John E. Sawyer 2016 Iowa State University

Corn Seedling Damage From Ammonia, John E. Sawyer

John E. Sawyer

There have been several reports of corn seedlings being damaged from ammonia, even fall applied anhydrous ammonia. Ammonia injury has been noted in past springs and more frequently occurs with shallow placed ammonia, ammonia applied near the time of planting, urea placed near the seed, and with dry soil conditions.

Corn And Soybean Production With A Winter Rye Cover Crop, John E. Sawyer, Jose L. Pantoja, Daniel W. Barker

John E. Sawyer

Objective of this project wasto study corn nitrogen (N) fertilization requirement and corn/soybean yield response when grown in a rye cover cropping system. Multiple rates of N fertilizer were applied, with measurement of corn yield response to applied N and soybean yield with and without a fall-planted winter rye cover crop. The study was conducted at multiple research farms, with the intent for comparison of with and without a cover crop system across varying soil and climatic conditionsin Iowa.

Corn Stalk Nitrate Interpretation, John E. Sawyer 2016 Iowa State University

Corn Stalk Nitrate Interpretation, John E. Sawyer

John E. Sawyer

You’ve gotten results from corn stalk nitrate samples collected this fall. (Corn stalk nitrate analysis form.) Now, what do the results mean? The stalk nitrate test is based on the concentration of nitrate-N in the lower corn stalk (8 inch segment from 6 to 14 inches above the ground) when the plant reaches maturity (See Cornstalk testing to evaluate nitrogen management, PM 1584). In general, a larger amount of plant-available N in the soil during the time period before plant maturity results in a greater concentration of nitrate in the lower stalk. However, the stalk nitrate-N concentration …

Corn Response To Sulfur Application Rate, David Rueber, John E. Sawyer 2016 Iowa State University

Corn Response To Sulfur Application Rate, David Rueber, John E. Sawyer

John E. Sawyer

Historically, sulfur (S) application has not been recommended on Iowa soils for corn and soybean production. Soils supply, or a combination from sources such as soil organic matter, profile sulfate, manure, and precipitation have met crop S needs. However, over the past few years, S deficiencies in alfalfa and corn have been documented. Large crop yield responses have been measured in some fields containing soils with low organic matter, side-slope landscape position, or coarse soil texture, especially in northeastern Iowa. The objective of this study was to determine S response in corn and soybean in north-central Iowa.

Corn Nitrogen Rate Calculator Update, John E. Sawyer 2016 Iowa State University

Corn Nitrogen Rate Calculator Update, John E. Sawyer

John E. Sawyer

The Iowa Nitrogen (N) response trial database was updated March 24, 2009. Response trials were added from 2008 research and several trials from older research were removed. There are now 176 trials for corn following soybean and 78 trials for corn following corn. Being able to easily update the database with recent data is one of the many advantages to this dynamic approach for corn N rate guidelines. Having new response trial data allows rapid updating with changing hybrid genetics, rotations and climatic conditions.

The Corn Nitrogen Rate Calculator is an online tool that allows determination of nitrogen (N) application rates for corn production and is helpful in determining the effect of fertilizer and corn price on needed rates. The method for calculating suggested N rates is based on a regional (Corn Belt) approach to N rate guidelines. Details on the approach are provided in the regional publicationConcepts and Rationale for Regional Nitrogen Rate Guidelines for Corn. This approach and the Corn Nitrogen Rate Calculator are now being used by seven states across the Corn Belt: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin.
