There are now tools that assist in this crucial planning process, including the dynamic seed module of Crop4Sight’s precision potato agronomy system, which takes the guesswork out of seed rate calculations for any given variety. It tailors seed rates to customer requirement, planting date and proposed burndown and harvest date, and growers can also model several ...
Crop management practices influence readily and potentially available N in soil. In this study, we evaluated the effects of organic amendment history and crop rotation on potentially mineralizable N (N0), mineralizable N pools, and field estimates of soil N supply in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production, and evaluated a suite of N availability measures to detect changes in these parameters. ...
Soil erosion and phosphorus (P) runoff can be severe in potato production systems in the Northeast USA, which are characterized by intensive tillage, minimal ground cover, low crop residue return, and steep slopes. ...
