1. Nitrogen Managememt in Dryland Winter Wheat to Improve Grain Yield and ProteinMaximizing the yield along with adequate protein content in winter wheat is an emerging challenge for dryland wheat producers. Proper nitrogen (N) management with optimization of fertilizer application rate and timing might be a potential strategy to improve grain yield and protein. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of different N rates and application timing on grain yield and protein content of hard red winter wheat in Nebraska. Field study was carried out at four locations... D. Ghimire, B. Maharjan |
2. Soil Carbon and Agroecosystem Benefits of Conservation Management and Perennial Bioenergy Crop ProductionConservation agricultural management practices and perennial bioenergy crops can increase soil organic C (SOC) stocks on marginal soils yet the time necessary to observe these benefits, as well as the upper limit of C storage isn’t known. Co-benefits often associated with SOC accumulation are positive effects on water and nutrient retention, soil microbial biomass and diversity and soil structure, resulting in better soil quality. However, interactions between nitrogen fertilizer, crop biochemistry,... C.E. Stewart, V.L. Jin, M.R. Schmer, R.B. Mitchell, C. Williams, G.L. Miner |
3. Sugarbeet Yield Response and Nitrate Leaching As Influenced by Nitrogen Management in Semi-arid ClimateFertilizer nitrogen (N) in irrigated sugarbeet production needs to be optimized to simultaneously increase yield and reduce nitrate leaching. In addition to adjusting N rate and application timing, there are available fertilizer technologies such as controlled- or slow-release N which may be beneficial for beet yield and reducing potential nitrate leaching. However, there are limited studies assessing the effectiveness of such fertilizers for sugarbeet in a semi-arid climate. The two-year experiment... D. Ghimire, B. Maharjan |
4. Seeding Rate and Planting Configuration Affect the Interspecific Function of a Wheat-pea Cover CropCover crop species mixtures have potential to maximize overall biomass as well as net N contribution if temporary immobilization of available N by non-legume species can promote greater N fixation by legumes. The growth and ultimate function of legumes in cover crop species mixtures is often limited, however, by excessive competition with other species, particularly grasses, in the mix. The objective of this work is to identify optimum cool-season legume-grass cover... N. Nielsen, T. Hussain, R. Matschek, R. Noland, M. Mcculloch |
5. Assessment of Microalgae Amendments on Soil Nutrient Dynamics and Cotton Productivity Under Limited Irrigation in Texas High PlainsTexas High Plains (THP) is a major cotton producing region of Texas. However, declining soil fertility and increasing risk of crop yield penalties associated with extreme weather patterns and low organic input have raised concern in sustainability of farmlands in this region. Micro-algae amendment is relatively new and emerging farm practice in crop production which is getting attention due to its ability to stimulate soil health and enhance crop productivity. There are no prior records on microalgae... A. Kafle, K. Lewis, J. Burke, H. Nakabuye, M. Jonhson |
