Investment Insight: Evaluating agronomic systems for yield and tile nitrate loss
Putting all the variables together – management is the best way to influence cover crops effect on yield
You need to add a widget, row, or prebuilt layout before you’ll see anything here. 🙂
How do current recommendations on drainage depth and spacing influence nutrient loss, crop productivity and nutrient utilization?
Can drainage depth and spacing be optimized to minimize the nutrient losses and maximize crop production?
What is Drainage Water Management?
Dr. Laura Christianson, along with her colleagues from the University of Illinois, are exploring various options of drainage water management. “Drain only what is necessary for good trafficability and crop growth — and not a drop more?
What Effect does Nitrogen Placement have on Nutrient Uptake and Yield?
This study supports the premise that concentrating N fertilizer below ground near the crop row can increase grain yield and N removal.
How Much Nitrogen is Lost when no N is Applied?
In this study, plots that received no N fertilizer still lost a notable amount of nitrate-N through the subsurface drainage system.
Sharing knowledge, sharing research
It just takes a research meeting in San Antonio to bring the NREC-funded research to the forefront of the agronomy world.
