1. Predicting Crop Yield Losses Due to Soil-water Salinity: Comparison of Traditional and Alternative Approaches It is estimated that 2,000 ha of cropland are taken out of production daily worldwide due to salinization and sodification. Salinity is estimated to result in economic losses of $27.3 billion U.S. dollars annually. Our project aims to jointly develop techniques for quantifying the severity of soil-water salinity and impacts on crop production on surface-irrigated fields in Pakistan’s Indus River Valley and the Lower Arkansas River Valley (LARV) in Colorado. The Fairmont Drainage District... A. Brown, A. Andales, T. Gates Download paper
2. Preserving the Past, Nurturing the Future: Inorganic Fertilizers and the Vital Role of Phosphorus and Potassium in Native Prairie Restoration Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are macronutrients required to sustain plant growth and reproduction. They are commonly applied as inorganic fertilizer by farmers across the world for their crops but these nutrients are also important for the development and sustainment of native grassland systems. Much of the Great Plains region has either been used as farmland or grazing land. These practices can disturb natural nutrient cycling by removing nutrients without adequate replacement. Current literature... K. Hays, B. Arnall Download paper
3. Impacts of Crop Management on Grain Yield, Grain Quality, Cover Crop Biomass, Residue Cover, and Residual Nitrogen in Dryland Systems Crop 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...
