1. Assessment of Long-term Effects of Tillage and Nitrogen Management Practices on Irrigated Corn Yields and Nitrogen Use EfficienciesCorn grain yields and crop nitrogen uptake are affected by management factors such as tillage intensity and nitrogen rates. Additional data about the long-term effects of tillage and nitrogen rates on yields and nitrogen use efficiencies of irrigated corn are needed. We are presenting preliminary results from a 17-year study about the effects of these management practices on irrigated corn yields and nitrogen uptake in a Fort Collins clay loam soil at Colorado State University’s Agricultural...

2. Tillage and Nitrogen Management for Irrigated Sugarbeet Production in Eastern MontanaSugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is an important cash crop in the Lower Yellowstone River region. Nitrogen management is very critical while farmers are transitioning sugar beet production from conventional tillage to no-till system. The objectives of this study were to: (i) evaluate the effects of fertilizer-N rate and application timing on sugar beet root yield, sugar content, and quality under conventional and no-till managements, (ii) determine N uptake and N use efficiency (NUE)...

3. Effect of Rate and Timing of Nitrogen Applications on Forage Sorghum Biomass YieldForage Sorghum (Sorghum-Sudan grass) is a forage crop harvested in the form of silage or dry-hay and is intended to distribute to livestock as feed. The research objective for this study is to observe how nitrogen timing plays a role in crop total biomass yield. Observations and data were collected during the 2021 growing season, with a total of two harvests allowed due to weather conditions in the area. This trial was conducted at two locations: Lake Carl Blackwell near Stillwater, Oklahoma and... B. Arnall, S. Sawatzky, S. Akin, M. Thomas, R. Singh, W.R. Raun |
4. Lime Management in the Semi-arid Regions of the USSoil acidity is increasing in the semi-arid regions of the US; however, questions exist about the efficacy of different liming products to raise soil pH and how long the lime benefits last. Therefore, we conducted two studies: 1) To monitor the efficacy of three liming products: sugarbeet lime (tilled and non-tilled), prilled lime (seed-placed), and aglime (tilled) to improve soil pH and crop yields at two sites in Montana and 2) To evaluate how different sugarbeet lime rates perform to mitigate...

5. The Effects of Manure Applications on Cotton Yield and Soil Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Texas High PlainsThe cost of inorganic fertilizer is continually rising, which has caused an increased interest in alternative solutions. Along with fertilizer prices increasing, carbon emissions are following the same trend. There is an upcoming demand for organic fertilizer and carbon research. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of various manure applications on crop growth and greenhouse gas emissions in three different cropping systems in the Texas High Plains. The no-tillage cropping systems... T. Roberts, K. Lewis |
6. Water Use Efficiency and Soil Changes After Long-term Crop Rotation Under Limited IrrigationLong-term crop rotation intensity and diversity can affect key soil properties. In semi-arid regions, the combined factors of rotation and soil properties may also affect the overall water use efficiency from either limited irrigation or rainfall. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in soil properties, and water use efficiency of corn grown under different rotation intensity and diversity and limited/supplemental irrigation. A field experiment was conducted over seven years in... D. Ruiz Diaz, P. Garcia Helguera, A. Rosa, O. Brian, K. Roozeboom |
7. Impacts of Crop Management on Grain Yield, Grain Quality, Cover Crop Biomass, Residue Cover, and Residual Nitrogen in Dryland SystemsCrop production depends on interactions among management practices, yet most studies evaluate the effect of individual practices rather than their interaction. This field experiment was established in 2024 at the Kansas State University Harold and Olympia Lonsinger Sustainability Farm (Osborne County, Kansas) to assess how combinations of common practices affect crop productivity and soil properties in a dryland system Treatments were a factorial combination of crop rotations (continuous...

8. Managing High-pH Soils: Restoring Nutrient Function with Polysulphate and Acidic Phosphate FertilizersHigh soil pH often reflects the active consumption of hydrogen ions (H⁺) by carbonates and bicarbonates, which suppresses calcium solubility and reduces the availability of phosphorus, potassium, and key micronutrients. These limitations are driven by soil chemistry rather than true nutrient deficiency, restricting nutrient mobility and root access. This presentation will examine Polysulphate® as a functional calcium and sulfate source that improves system efficiency. In addition, ICL... A. Foster, J. Hagele, T. Donoho, D. Tollefson |
9. Evaluation of E-Grow Effects on Soil Plant Systems Gas ExchangeE-Grow is a novel fertilizer which effect on the soil- plant system is critical for understanding it’s impact on the crop productivity and environmental sustainability in agricultural operations that will be crucial for updating nutrient application recommendations, to understand this we conducted an experiment with the main objective of this study is to determine the effect of E-Grow on CO2 and H2O fluxes in agricultural soil and soil- cotton plant systems (seedling stage). This experiment... V. Sabbineni, E. Enninful, S. Jacobo, O. Gecgel, G.G. Botte, H. Laza, C. Simpson, L. Slaughter, Y. Emendack |
