Poultry litter contains an abundance of nitrogen (N) and has been used to fertilize pastures and forage crops in western Arkansas for a number of years. The objective of this study was to determine the N-fertilizer value of preplant-incorporated fresh and pelletized litter in comparison to urea fertilizer applied before flooding rice at the fiveleaf stage. Studies were conducted on two silt loa...

Rate and Method of Application Apply as a preplant broadcast treatment at least 14 to 21 days prior to planting. Late summer or early autumn is usually best for applying soil fumigants in Michigan. Inject 8 inches deep with chisels spaced 10 to 12 inches apart when soil temperature is between 50° and 80°F. Seal immediately after application. If soil is waterlogged or temperature is below 60°F, ...

Vermicomposts processed commercially from food wastes and paper wastes were applied, to 4.5 m(2) field plots, under high plastic hoop tunnels, at rates of 5 or 10 tha(-1) to evaluate their effects on the growth and yields of strawberries (Fragaria ananasa) var. 'Chandler'. The vermicomposts were incorporated into the top 10 cm of soil and supplemented, based on chemical analyses, with amounts o...

In the context of climate change, sowing date and cultivar choice can influence productivity sorghum, especially where production is constrained by low soil fertility early terminal drought across challenging agro-ecologies north-eastern Nigeria. Planting within an optimal window to fit cultivar’s maturity length critical for maximizing/increasing crop yield following appropriate climate-smart ...

Yields of 'McNair 800' soybeans, Glycine max (L.) Merr., were significantly increased with ethylene dibromide + chloropicrin, DBCP, phenamiphos, and aldicarb applied at-planting and with phenamiphos, aldicarb, and DBCP applied postplant to soil infested with Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood. Yields of 'GaSoy 17' were significantly increased with ethylene dibromide + chloropicri...

Using local resources and minimizing environmental impacts are two important components of sustainable agriculture. Meat bone meal (MBM), tankage, is a locally produced organic fertilizer. This study was conducted to investigate the response sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata Stuart.) soil water nitrate (NO3-N) concentration MBM application at locations, Waimānalo Poamoho, on island O’ahu....

Common ragweed emerges early in the season in Nebraska, USA and is competitive with soybean; therefore, preplant herbicides are important for effective control. Glyphosate has been used as a preplant control option; however, confirmation of glyphosate-resistant (GR) common ragweed in Nebraska necessitates evaluating other herbicide options. The objectives of this study were to (1) evaluate the ...
