TRACTIVE DEMAND, SOIL MOBILIZATION PARAMETERS, AND CORN YIELD IN COMPACTED OXISOL

Soil Temperatures as Related to Corn Yield in Central Iowa

Soil temperature data collected a t the Iowa State College Agronomy Experimental Farm are analyzed in relation to corn yields. Some of the determining weather factors of soil temperature are evaluated. Monthly values of soil temperature at various levels are compared with corn yield in central Iowa and three physical relationships are discussed. In order to summarize the effect of these three r...

Interactions of Nitrogen, Weather, Soil, and Irrigation on Corn Yield

but no difference in yields with increased N when the season was cool. Numerous factors that affect corn yield in the Northern Great Soil moisture status is also important in maintaining Plains are not considered in current N fertilizer recommendations. A maximum corn yields, and maintaining optimal soil moislinear model to describe the interactions of N fertility, weather, soil, ture is facili...

Winter Wheat Growth in Artificially Compacted Soil

Effect of Urban Waste Compost Leachate on the Soil Physical, Hydraulic, Moisture Characteristics and Corn Yield

Compost leachate is a liquid resulting from physical, chemical and biological decomposition of organic materials. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of leachate compost on the physical, hydraulic and soil moisture characteristic curves. Also, the effect of leachate on the aerial organ fresh weight of corn was investigated. Leachate was added to clay loam and sandy cl...

Behavior of Compacted Lime-soil Columns

This study presents the results of large scale laboratory model tests to investigate the behavior of Compacted Lime – Well-graded Soil (CL-WS) rigid stone columns in soft soils. The  unit cell idealization is used for construction of composite specimens by evaluating the influence of different parameters such as the diameter of the column (D), the slenderness ratio (L/D) and the area ratio (Ar)...
