ACTIVE OPTICAL SENSORS TO DEVELOP NITROGEN FERTILIZER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR POTATO CROP

Crop Potassium Nutrition – Implications for Fertilizer Recommendations

Effect of Fertilizer and Irrigation on Nitrate-Nitrogen and Total Nitrogen in Potato Tubers'

This study was conducted to determine the effect of N fertilizer and irrigation management on potato (Sotanum tuberosum L,) tuber N0,-N levels and the relationship to the potential health hazard created by high nitrate levels in food products. `Russet Burbank' potatoes grown using different N fertilizer rates, methods of application, and irrigation levels were analyzed for N0,-N concentration. ...

Tropical Legume Crop Rotation and Nitrogen Fertilizer Effects on Agronomic and Nitrogen Efficiency of Rice

Bush bean, long bean, mung bean, and winged bean plants were grown with N fertilizer at rates of 0, 2, 4, and 6 g N m(-2) preceding rice planting. Concurrently, rice was grown with N fertilizer at rates of 0, 4, 8, and 12 g N m(-2). No chemical fertilizer was used in the 2nd year of crop to estimate the nitrogen agronomic efficiency (NAE), nitrogen recovery efficiency (NRE), N uptake, and rice ...

Does nitrogen fertilizer application rate to corn affect nitrous oxide emissions from the rotated soybean crop?

Little information exists on the potential for N fertilizer application to corn ( L.) to affect NO emissions during subsequent unfertilized crops in a rotation. To determine if N fertilizer application to corn affects NO emissions during subsequent crops in rotation, we measured NO emissions for 3 yr (2011-2013) in an Iowa, corn-soybean [ (L.) Merr.] rotation with three N fertilizer rates appli...

Optical Sensor-Based Algorithm for Crop Nitrogen Fertilization*

Nitrogen (N) fertilization for cereal crop production does not follow any kind of generalized methodology that guarantees maximum nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The objective of this work was to amalgamate some of the current concepts for N management in cereal production into an applied algorithm. This work at Oklahoma State University from 1992 to present has focused primarily on the use of o...
