Strategies to improve nitrogen use efficiency in winter cereal crops under rainfed conditions
Developing fertilizer strategies that increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) could reduce unnecessary input costs to farmers and environmental impact of N losses. Two field experiments were performed in northern Spain to evaluate alternative N fertilization strategies to improve NUE in winter cereal crops (wheat [Triticum aestivum L.] and barley [Hordeum vulgare L.]). The strategies were: (i) ...

Interactive effects of landscape position and time of application on the response of spring wheat to fall-banded urea
The objective of this experiment was to quantify the effect of landscape position and time of application on the agronomic efficiency of fall-banded urea [CO(NH2)2] for spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in the eastern prairie region of Canada. Landscape positions in this experiment were defined as high and low based on their relative elevations to one another within the field. Fertilizer ...

Recovery of residual fertilizer-nitrogen by wheat in a winter wheat–summer maize rotation in the north china plain: A soil column study
Cropping systems is potentially useful practice for mitigating nitrate leaching and increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) because deeper rooted crops could capture the leached N from previous shallower rooted crops. The recovery of fertilizer nitrogen (FN) applied to maize (Zea mays L.) by the succeeding wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in a winter wheat–summer maize rotation in North China Plain ...

Drones and scissors help decide fertilizer rate
Both Swedish and European field trials show that winter oilseed rape that has taken up a lot of nitrogen in autumn needs less nitrogen in the spring. A thinner crop, which has not assimilated so much nitrogen in the autumn, needs more N fertilizer in the spring. In order to determine the autumn’s nitrogen uptake, the so-called “cutting method” is often used in Sweden. Drones ...
