1. Determining Whole-farm Conservation Solutions For Small Farms In Northeastern United StatesOptimal water quality pollution control comes from locating critical nonpoint source pollution areas within a watershed and applying site-specific conservation practices. However, management decisions are implemented at the farm-level. While site-specific conservation practices are crucial for environmental protection, reduction strategies must have economic benefit to the producer if they are to be implemented and maintained. Increased fuel, fertilizer, and grain prices are greatly impacting... T.L. Veith, L.T. Ghebremichael |
2. Effect of Urea Application through Drip Irrigation on Yield, Water and Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Summer Bitter GourdBitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) is one of the important vegetable crops grown during summer months in high lands of Lower Gangetic Plains. Crop is very much responsive to water and nutrient but water is limiting in dry summer months. Farmers generally adopt furrow irrigation and hand watering with pitcher for growing this crop. Drip irrigation is... S. Goswami, S. Saha |
3. Predicted Nitrate-N Loads for Fall, Spring, and VRN Fertilizer Application in Southern MinnesotaNitrate-N from agricultural fields is a source of pollution to fresh and marine waters via subsurface tile drainage. Sensor-based technologies that allow for in-season monitoring of crop nitrogen requirements may represent a way to reduce nitrate-N loadings to surface waters by allowing for fertilizer application on a more precise spatial and temporal resolution. However, little research has been done to determine its effectiveness in reducing nitrate-N losses. In this study,... G.L. Wilson, D.J. Mulla, J. Galzki, A. Laacouri, J. Vetsch |
