Soil Fertility and Corn and Soybean Yield and Quality in a Six-year Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization Experiment

Book Description
Optimum management of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizers for corn [Zea mays L.] and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] production requires quantitative understanding of multiple soil processes and crop responses, including supply and immobilization of N and P by soil, the response of yield and quality to nutrient availability, and the relationships and interactions between N and P cycling, crop response, and other soil physical and chemical variables. We conducted a six-year experiment on two 16-ha fields on glacial-till soils in south-central Minnesota. In each year of a corn-soybean rotation, we measured soil physical and chemical parameters and grain yield and quality at a 0.014-ha resolution within each field. These observations coincided with placement of a randomized complete block, split plot design of N and P fertilizer treatments. Spatial patterns of mineralizable N were consistent over time. Mineralizable N was highly correlated to soil nitrate at a well-drained site, but not at a poorly-drained site. Increases in available soil P per kg of net P addition were significantly related to soil pH. Within fields, spatial patterns of soybean yields were highly correlated across years, and we observed consistent relationships between yield and soil variables. Overall, soybean yield related positively to soil P and Zn and negatively to pH at all site-years. Quadratic-plateau regression models of soybean yield in relation to soil P and Zn indicate that in high pH soils at these sites, yield is optimized when soil P and Zn levels are higher than current recommendations. Corn yields responded significantly to N rate and N rate by P rate interaction in all site-years. Whole-field economic optimum N rate differed significantly by site-year and by P treatment at some site-years. Site-specific P fertilization should account for spatial variation in soil P buffering capacity. Nitrogen mineralization and NxP nutrient interactions should be accounted for in agronomic management decisions for corn production. The consistent influence of soil pH on nutrient cycling and crop response indicates the potential benefit to amelioration of high pH in calcareous glacial-till soils. Results highlight the significance of spatial variability in nutrient cycling to crop management.

The Effects of Planting Date, Nitrogen and Boron Application on Mineral Element Concentration, Yield, Dry Weight and Fresh Weight of Sweet Corn
Author: Jonathan Anthony Sisson

ISBN:
Category : Sweet corn
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
The effects of planting date on mineral element concentration in sweet corn (Zea mays L. cv. Jubilee) at six developmental stages and on yield were investigated. Planting dates were chosen to correspond to early, mid-season, and late commercial plantings. Two nitrogen rates were applied since nitrogen is more often limiting than any other nutrient for sweet corn grown in Western Oregon. Boron was also applied since it has been shown to be limiting in many other crops grown in the Willamette Valley. Planting date significantly affected N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu, B, and Zn concentration in the whole plants during the vegetative growth stages and in the ear leaves during the stages between tasseling and harvest. During the early stage of growth, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, B, and Zn tended to be higher in the early planted corn plants, while later in the development of corn the effects of planting date were more variable. Planting date also affected the fresh and dry weight of whole plants; the later planting produced more dry weight than the earlier two plantings, while the early planted corn produced more fresh weight at harvest than the later two plantings. Consequently, when analyzing sweet corn for nutritional status, date of planting should be considered when interpreting the plant analysis data. The application of B had no effect on yield, fresh weight or dry weight and only increased B concentration at the first developmental stage. The additional application of N, did not significantly increase yield for the late planted corn, but did for early planted corn. N concentration, as well as Mg, Mn, Cu, and Zn concentrations increased with the higher rate of N fertilizer applied (125 kg/ha). Fresh weight and dry weight were both higher in the plants receiving the higher rate of N, with the difference becoming greater as the plants matured.

Maize Crop
Author: A. Solaimalai
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000176959
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 454
Book Description
Maize is one of the versatile emerging crops with wider adaptability under varied agro-climatic conditions. Globally, maize is known as queen of cereals because it has the highest genetic yield potential among the cereals. It is cultivated on nearly 150 m/ha in about 160 countries having wider diversity of soil, climate, biodiversity and management practices that contributes 36 % (782 m/t) in the global grain production. The United States of America (USA) is the largest producer of maize contributes nearly 35 % of the total production in the world. It is the driver of the US economy. This book talks about the improvement, production, protection and post harvest technology of the maize crop. Note: T& F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
