Comparison of Exactrix and Conventional Fertilizer Application in Corn

چکیده
Introduction The cost of nitrogen fertilizer increased dramatically in 2008 compared to previous years. As a result, producers began looking for ways to increase their nitrogen use efficiency. One product being promoted was an Exactrix system that injects anhydrous ammonia (NH3) as a liquid. The manufacturer of the Exactrix system claimed that nitrogen (N) rates could be reduced by as much as 30 to 40% while increasing corn yield up to10%.

In this study, nitrogen fertilizer was applied to corn (Zea mays L.) at conventional (excessive) and recommended levels, and the growth response was assessed by measuring plant height and stem perimeter. Corn plant maximum height was observed in recommended rates of N fertilizer treatment, and the height without N fertilizer was the same as that receiving excess N fertilizer. Stem perimeter was...

Nitrogen (N) application management needs to be refined for low yielding environments under dryland conditions. This 3-yr study examined nitrogen fertilization management effects on corn (Zea mays L.) plant characteristics and grain yield in rain fed environment under conventional tillage system. Nitrogen fertilization management consisted of two timing methods of N application [all N at planti...

Traditionally, most corn field in Hamedan Province is prepared for planting by moldboard plowing followed by a number of secondary tillage operations. In recent years conservation tillage systems have become more popular. This research was conducted in the form of a split plot experimental design with six tillage treatments and three replications. Main tillage methods including: (T1) convention...
