Soil testing and forage analysis provide the management information you need. Corn producers can often make more profit by minimizing tillage. However, in many situations no-till reduces corn yield. Corn stalk rot is influenced by many factors, and fertilizer nutrients play an important role. Learn how potassium and chloride can suppress stalk rot and lodging.
Recent reports raise the specter of a future world polluted with excess nutrients.
Field trials in two consecutive years in Ontario indicate that when soybean yields respond to potassium, isoflavone levels also increase. Species diversity in a Maine hayfield was promoted by balanced fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Climate conditions that vary from year to year, however, can have even larger effects. InfoAg 2001 featured presentations from both public and private sector agronomists working to improve variable rate application of nitrogen. All rights reserved.
