Impacts of soil management practices on soil fertility in potato-based cropping systems in the Bolivian Andean highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Due to changes in climate and socioeconomic developments, current soil management practices in the Bolivian Andean Highlands may be increasing soil degradation thereby threatening food security. A study was established in ...
Alternative tillage and nitrogen management options to increase crop production and reduce nitrous oxide emissions from claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The Central Claypan Region covers an area of 10 million acres of claypan or claypan-like soil in Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, and Illinois. Agricultural production on claypan soil can have lower yield and a greater impact on the environment...
Use of different sources and rates of foliar potassium with glyphosate to overcome environmental- and management-induced K deficiency in soybeans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The incidence of potassium (K) deficiency in soybeans [Glycine max (L.) Merr] has increased over the last few years in Missouri and other Midwestern states. Postemergence application of foliar K fertilizer would have the ...
Use of slow-release N fertilizer to control nitrogen losses due to spatial and climatic differences in soil moisture conditions and drainage in claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Agricultural soils are a major source of nitrous oxide (N₂O) which has a significant environmental impact on global warming and ozone depletion. However, there is little information on soil N₂O emissions under different ...
Nitrogen management strategies to improve corn growth and reduce soil greenhouse gas emissions from claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Adoption of nitrogen (N) management strategies to minimize gaseous N loss from agriculture while maintaining high yield production is increasingly important for an exponentially growing population. Agricultural management ...
