Nitrogen, tillage, and crop rotation effects on carbon dioxide and methane fluxes from irrigated cropping systems
Received for publication December 15, 2008. Long-term effects of tillage intensity, N fertilization, and crop rotation on carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) flux from semiarid irrigated soils are poorly understood. We evaluated effects of: (i) tillage intensity [no-till (NT) and conventional moldboard plow tillage (CT)] in a continuous corn rotation; (ii) N fertilization levels [0–246 kg N ...

Nitrogen storage with cover crops and nitrogen fertilization in tilled and nontilled soils
Improved crop and N management practices are needed to increase soil N storage so that N fertilization rate and the potential for N leaching can be reduced in tilled and nontilled soils. We examined the influence of cover crops and N fertilization rates on N inputs from cover crops, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] and soil total N (STN) content at the 0- ...

Treat Your Home Garden The Way It Should Be – Benefits of Organic Fertilizers
Enriched soil, professional care, sufficient water, enough sunlight, and good quality fertilizers are the key factors to the high-quality growth of plants. Especially in gardens, be it indoor or outdoor, the selection of the right kind of fertilizers plays an important role. The wide range of fertilizers can be vaguely classified in two basic types of fertilizers, Organic or Natural Fertilizers ...

Main Granulating Methods of NPK Compound Fertilizer Production
NPK fertilizer can supply many kinds of nutrients needed by crops at the same time. The economic benefit is obvious. The production cost can be reduced by using compound fertilizer. Compound fertilizer is not easy to agglomerate, easy to store and use, and is widely welcomed. How to select granulator for NPK fertilizer production line? Several main granulation methods are introduced here. 1. ...

It’ll all be for the same purpose: to maximize the yield and take care of that soil
Brad McDougald jokes that farmers can always find something to complain about. “Doesn’t matter whether it’s too warm, too dry, too cold,” McDougald says with a chuckle. This year was a dry season in Drumheller, Alta., where his 2,500-acre farm produced about 40 per cent of its regular yield of wheat, canola, peas, lentils and barley. But for all the elements outside a ...

Are you maxing out? Applying the Law of the Maximum gets the most from your fertility investment dollars
Avoid excess crop nutrients in your fertilizer strategy to maintain soil health and protect your pocketbook The push to produce higher yields per acre every year continues to weigh heavily on western Canadian farmers. That pressure is accompanied by economic and environmental concerns. Should you invest more money into crop nutrients to reach record yields? Will that investment pay off? Will ...

Enhancing phosphorus phytoremedation potential of two warm-season perennial grasses with nitrogen fertilization
Phytoremediation or use of plants to extract soil nutrients is a practice used to ameliorate the impacts of excessive soil nutrients. Pensacola bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flügge) and ‘Floralta’ limpograss [Hemarthria altissima (Poir.) Stapf & Hubb] were grown in a P-impacted Immokalee fine sand (Mehlich-1 P 30 mg P kg–1) to evaluate increasing N levels on dry matter yield (DMY), forage P ...

Crop rotation and nitrogen input effects on soil fertility, maize mineral nutrition, yield, and seed composition
Knowledge of complex relationships between soils, crops, and management practices is necessary to develop sustainable agricultural production systems. Objectives were to determine how maize (Zea mays L.) would respond to monoculture (C-C), 2-yr rotation (C-S) with soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], or 4-yr rotation (C-S-W/A-A) with soybean, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and alfalfa (Medicago ...

Is Water RunOff Effecting my Pond?
What is Water RunOff? Runoff is precipitation that did not get (infiltrated) absorbed into the soil, or did not evaporate, and therefore made its way from the ground surface into places that water collect. Runoff causes erosion, and also carry chemicals and substances on the ground surface along to the ponds, lakes and rivers where the water ends up. (eschooltoday.com) Phosphorus and Nitrogen ...

Six effects of organic matter on maintaining soil fertility
The content of soil organic matter is closely related to the level of soil fertility. Although organic matter only accounts for a small part of the total amount of soil, it plays a significant role in maintaining soil fertility. The manufacturer of organic fertilizer production equipment introduces six important functions of organic matter to maintain soil fertility. 1. Provide nutrition for ...

What is Soil EC Sensor?
Soil EC (Electrical Conductivity) sensor is an essential tool for modern agriculture, enabling farmers to optimize crop yields by measuring the nutrient levels in the soil. EC sensors measure the soil's ability to conduct electricity, which is a proxy for soil salinity and nutrient content. This article will explore the basics of soil EC sensors, their applications in agriculture, and the factors ...

NPK compound fertilizer granulation production line
NPK compound fertilizer granulation production line NPK compound fertilizer has the advantages of good appearance, high fertilizer efficiency, uniform coating and strong wear resistance. It can provide sulfur nutrition after degradation of the film, and is pollution-free, which meets the requirements of environmentally friendly fertilizer. NPK compound fertilizer has various kinds of slow-release ...

Soil Nutrients and Field Health: what you Need to Know
The soil on your field is like the brain to your body. It tells your crops everything they need to know to produce a healthy yield; how many organisms live there, what the pH balance is, whether or not something is performing well… For the brain, if something isn’t performing well, the body can react catastrophically. The same thing happens with soil. If you have too much ...

Water-soluble fertilizers: it`s crystal clear!
Crystallisation, as a powerful separation technology and production process, is helping the fertilizer industry diversify its product mix, improve profitability and enhance sustainability, as Sana Boulabiar and Matias Navarro, of Veolia Water Technologies North America, explain. As with most sectors of the economy, the agricultural value chain has been disrupted by the shock of the ...
