Timing and rate of nitrogen (N) fertilizer application can influence maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield, N uptake, use efficiency (NUE) parameters, but results have been inconsistent across the upper Midwest. This study compared single (fall preplant) split applications differing rates for under irrigated conditions on loamy sand at Becker, MN rainfed loam clay soils Lamberton, Waseca, MN, respectively, in 2014 to 2016. Fall preplant were applied recommended 125% (RN) according University...

Understanding how fertilizer application (particularly N, the most used chemical worldwide) interacts with soil microbes is important for development of best management practices that target improved microbial activity to enhance sustainable food production. This study was conducted determine whether urea N rate and time maize (Zea mays) influenced enzyme activity. Enzyme determined by monitoring fluorescein diacetate (FDA) hydrolysis, ß-glucosidase, acid-phosphomonoesterase, arylsulfatase...

Nitrate leaching was measured over a 3-year period from rotationally grazed perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.) pasture receiving 200 kg fertilizer-N/ha and similarly ryegrass/white clover Trifolium repens that received no N fertilizer. The results are discussed together with those the same plots in preceding 3 years when they were stocked continuously. Under both managements, numbers of grazing sheep adjusted on basis quantity herbage available plots. During whole 6 years, mean nitrate...

The effectiveness of alternative fertilizer strategies to control nitrate leaching was investigated in a field experiment at IGER, Aberystwyth using simulated pastures represent swards grazed by dairy cattle between May and October 1997, following an initial silage cut. Cut-plots with without applications artificial urine were used the separate components managed nitrogen (N) strategies: standard (fertilizer applied uniformly all areas sward total rate 180 kg N/ha October), tactical rates...

The various methods tested in this work have revealed the criteria of utility, U , shown following table for detection added water as measured by “difference” modes, and ratio modes where M3/M4 is maximum minimum seasonal values M. All figures are 10 per cent, water. Utility equal to less than unity useless.
