Optimizing crop N use efficiency using polymer-coated urea and other N fertilizer sources across landscapes with claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
in the claypan region of north central and northeast Missouri to determine the effects of landscape position and soil depth to the claypan on crop growth and N uptake, and to examine the use of a variable-source N fertilizer application strategy to optimize crop...
Application of a digital terrain model for forrest land classification and soil survey
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
Models (DEM's) to produce Digital Terrain Models (DTM's) in the Missouri Ozarks. Terrain models produced from several DEM sources were evaluated for their accuracy in predicting slope, aspect and landforms on a 3691 ha area. The DEM's created from USGS...
Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and water quality and given rise to non-point source pollutants. The claypan soil region of Missouri has a high runoff potential that increases the possibility of transport of non-point source pollutants to downstream sites. The Agricultural Policy...
Utilization and limitations of soil health metrics in Missouri corn production decisions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
recommendations, evaluates links between soil health indicators and corn grain productivity, and identifies optimal sampling depths and regional sensitivity to common conservation practices for seven unique soil health indicators. All results and conclusions...
Variability of soil hydraulic properties and estimation of plant-available water on claypan-soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Soil hydraulic properties and plant-available water (PAW) capacity are critical properties in evaluating land management and soil productivity. This study investigated...
Streambank erosion and risk assessment of contaminant transport in Missouri watersheds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Sedimentation and herbicide are significant water quality concerns in claypan watersheds. Two separate watershed-scale studies were conducted in the Central Claypan Region of northeastern Missouri. One project investigated the effects of season...
Assessing impacts and targeting of agricultural conservation practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The U.S. Department of Agriculture initiated the Conservation Effects Assessment Project in 2003 to quantify water quality and wildlife benefits of conservation programs funded by the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment ...
