Profit-Maximizing Potassium Fertilizer Recommendations For Soybean, Michael P. Popp, Nathan A. Slaton, Trenton L. Roberts 2020 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville

Profit-Maximizing Potassium Fertilizer Recommendations For Soybean, Michael P. Popp, Nathan A. Slaton, Trenton L. Roberts

Crop, Soil and Environmental Sciences Faculty Publications and Presentations

Potassium (K) fertilizer has important yield and cost ramifications in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production. Rate recommendations are often based on expected yield response as predicted by a soil test. To that end, soybean response to K application rate studies were analyzed using 86 site-years from 2004 to 2019. We estimated a generic yield response curve across soybean cultivar and soil texture to allow calculation of profit-maximizing K rates for producers in the mid-southern United States that also consider crop value and fertilizer cost. Further, we compared profit-maximizing fertilizer-K rates with those currently recommended. Using a spreadsheet-based decision …

Amelioration of K deficiency during the growing season requires knowledge of critical tissue concentrations and crop yield response to fertilization time. Our objectives were to characterize the yield and uptake responses of K-deficient irrigated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] to in-season fertilizer-K application time and rate, evaluate fertilizer-potassium-recovery efficiency (FKRE), and evaluate how leaflet-K concentration responds to K-fertilization time. Six trials were established on silt loam soils. Muriate of potash was applied pre-plant and compared to an equivalent K rate applied post-emergence on six or seven dates. Grain yield, trifoliolate-K concentration, and K uptake were measured. Relative soybean yields …

Recycling P from wastewaters may provide a sustainable source of P that could also protect surface water quality from P enrichment. Struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) is a material that can be created from P-containing wastewater and has been shown to have agricultural fertilizer value. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of electrochemically precipitated struvite (ECST), chemically precipitated struvite (Crystal Green, CG), diammonium phosphate (DAP), monoammonium phosphate (MAP), rock phosphate (RP), and triple superphosphate (TSP) on corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] response in a 79-d greenhouse …

Phosphorus distribution in pasture soils underlain with karst geology was determined on a 0.10-ha grid in 2014, 2016, and 2018. Two fields (Fields 1 and 12) received swine slurry from a concentrated animal feeding operation, whereas another (Field 5) received mineral fertilizer. All fields were grazed by cattle and periodically hayed. Mean Mehlich-3 extractable P in the top 10 cm increased (p ≤ .05 level) for Fields 1 (59–91 mg kg−1) and 12 (63–122 mg kg−1) between 2014 and 2018, with little change for Field 5 (45–47 mg kg−1).

Influence Of Cover Crop Management Practices On Rainfed Corn Production In Semi-Arid Western Nebraska, Alexandre Tonon Rosa 2020 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Influence Of Cover Crop Management Practices On Rainfed Corn Production In Semi-Arid Western Nebraska, Alexandre Tonon Rosa

Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

With the increased cover crop (CC) popularity, producers of semi-arid regions of western Nebraska are questioning whether they could successfully incorporate CC into their rainfed winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-corn (Zea mays L.)-fallow rotations. The major concern is that CCs may deplete soil water affecting the subsequent crop. Therefore, three studies were established under rainfed conditions of western Nebraska to access the effects of CCs on soil water, soil compaction, nutrient cycling, weed demographics, residue coverage, and subsequent corn yield. The first study evaluated the influence of CC planting and termination times prior to corn establishment. Late termination …


Estimating A Fair Value For Standing Forage, Jay Parsons, Daren Redfearn, Mary E. Drewnoski 2020 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Estimating A Fair Value For Standing Forage, Jay Parsons, Daren Redfearn, Mary E. Drewnoski

Cornhusker Economics

Several things need to be considered when deciding what value to place on standing forage. Forage prices reflect current inventories, demand, expected current season production and associated yield risk, and quality characteristics. Standing forage can be harvested in a number of different ways which need to be considered when pricing it. Below, we provide a few general thoughts and questions concerning harvesting method and comparable feed value to consider when pricing standing forage. We follow with a few examples illustrating pricing calculations for forage mechanically harvested as hay, haylage, and silage. We close with pricing considerations for forage harvested by …


Literatura Viva: Formas De Conocer La Literatura Y Agricultura Desde Chiapas, Jesse Nichols 2020 Portland State University

Literatura Viva: Formas De Conocer La Literatura Y Agricultura Desde Chiapas, Jesse Nichols

Dissertations and Theses

Literatura Viva reflects the links between agriculture and literature in Chiapas, Mexico, demonstrating how the ways of knowing the environment which are culturally expressed through literature and the practices of sustainable agriculture are deeply linked. It argues that the experience of the agricultural working class is central not just to a physical movement towards tangible agricultural change but to a society's ability to understand its socio-cultural and natural environment. The thesis first explores indigenous literature, then agricultural practices and finally educational movements which seek to express pluriversal understandings and ways of interacting with the planet. It argues that these understandings …

Genomic Insights Into Speciation History And Local Adaptation Of An Alpine Aspen In The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau And Adjacent Highlands, Jia-Lang Li, Lin-Ling Zhong, Jing Wang, Tao Ma, Kang-Shan Mao, Lei Zhang

Aspen Bibliography

Natural selection serves as an important agent to drive and maintain interspecific divergence. Populus rotundifolia Griff. is an alpine aspen species that mainly occurs in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) and adjacent highlands, whereas its sister species, P. davidiana Dode, is distributed across southwest and central to northeast China in much lower altitude regions. In this study, we collected genome resequencing data of 53 P. rotundifolia and 42 P. davidiana individuals across their natural distribution regions. Our population genomic data suggest that the two species are well delimitated in the allopatric regions, but with hybrid zones in their adjacent region in …
