1. Conservation Management and Nitrogen Fertilization to Enhance Soil Chemical and Biological PropertiesCover crops and no-tillage are increasing in use across Texas. On the Southern High Plains (SHP) these practices are important mitigators of wind erosion and are suggested to increase soil health and other positive soil attributes. This study aimed to monitor and evaluate the soil chemical and biological changes that occur shortly after implementing conservation practices and nitrogen management strategies on the SHP. It was determined that in the short term some soil chemical and biological... M. Mcdonald, P. Delaune, T. Gentry, K. Lewis |
2. Wheat Zinc Nutrition: Agronomic Biofortification That Delivers Yield and Better Grain NutritionLow Zn availability in calcareous soils is a common issue in the Canadian prairies, where much of the wheat is exported, making Canada one of the world’s largest wheat exporters. Globally, 19% of the population, mostly pregnant women, infants, and children, suffers from Zn deficiency, highlighting the need to enhance Zn bioavailability in wheat grain. Agronomic biofortification offers a promising strategy to improve grain nutrient density while optimizing plant health and development. While... M. Proulx, X. Gao |
3. Influence of Nitrogen Management and Precipitation on Sorghum Nitrogen Use EfficiencyGrain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a key crop in Kansas which can benefit from optimized nitrogen (N) management that enhances yield while minimizing N losses. Understanding the relationships among physiological efficiency (PE), recovery efficiency (RE), and agronomic efficiency (AE), as well as their interactions with climatic factors such as precipitation, is essential for improving nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Experiments were conducted across five rainfed... M. Platero |
