1. Tillage and Nitrogen Rates Influenced Wheat and Sorghum ProductivityReduced tillage (RT) or no-tillage (NT) practices and reducing fallow frequency can both decrease soil losses from wind erosion and conserve soil water in the semiarid regions of the US Great Plains. This study evaluated sorghum grain yield in 2013 and wheat grain yield in 2014 and 2015 as influenced by long-term nitrogen (N) fertilizer application rates (0, 20, 40, and 60 lb N ac- 1) and tillage intensity [clean tillage (CT), RT, and NT] in dryland winter wheat–sorghum-fallow (W-S-F) cropping...

2. Assessment of Soil Testing As It Relates to Corn Ear Leaf Nutrition in the MidwestSoil testing for P, K and Zn for corn production the Midwest is based on the probability of crop yield response to an applied fertilizer and not on crop nutritional status. Results of three years of observational data from 98 field sites show soil test M3-K only predicted 26% of the variability in ear leaf K at growth stage R1-R2, whereas K base fraction (KBF) predicted 44% of the ear leaf variability and 56% of the variability in the ear leaf K:Mg ratio. Soil M3-P was inconsistent in predicting... R. Miller |
3. Precision Mapping Technology in Dryland Cropping SystemIncreasing availability of cropland geospatial data are providing farmers with opportunities but also challenges in interpreting these data for precision cropland management decisions. The objective of this study is to evaluate spatial variability and precision management decisions using mapping technology in dryland cropping system. The study was initiated in 2018 in Akron, Colorado on field size plots ranged from 2.4 to 4.5 ha (6-11 acres) with substantial production variability. ... M.M. Mikha, D.M. Barnard, K.R. Mankin |
4. Cover Crops in Certified Organic, Specialty Crop Food ProductionThere is a growing interest in certified organic, specialty crop food production. With a larger population demanding organic products and organic products offering a higher premium for the producer, farmers are exploring the transition to organic farming. Organic producers in southeastern Wyoming face multiple challenges in environments with high elevation, low precipitation, and have a short growing season. These challenges include management of persistent weeds, maintaining biodiversity, and... E. Moore, U. Norton |
5. Influence of Nitrogen Rate Application on Soil Fertility in Four Long Term Experiments SitesTotal organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) are the most important components of the soil as they are key indicators of its quality and productivity. Nitrogen fertilization is an effective management practice for improving and maintaining soil fertility and enhancing crop productivity. The objective of this study is to determine the effect of different Nitrogen rate application on SOC and TN. This study was carried out in four separate long-term sites across Oklahoma State, established... M. Maatougui, B. Arnall |
6. 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...
