1. Active and Passive Crop Canopy Sensors As Tools for Nitrogen Management in CornThe objectives of this research were to (i) assess the correlation between active and passive crop canopy sensors’ vegetation indices at different corn growth stages and (ii) assess sidedress variable rate nitrogen (N) recommendation accuracy of active and passive sensors compared to the agronomic optimum N rate (AONR). The experiment was conducted near Central City, Nebraska on a Novina sandy loam planted to corn on 15 April 2015. The experiment was a randomized complete-block design with... L. Bastos, R.

2. Active and Passive Sensor Comparison for Variable Rate Nitrogen Determination and Accuracy in Irrigated CornThe objectives of this research were to (i) compare active and passive crop canopy sensors’ sidedress variable rate nitrogen (VRN) derived from different vegetation indices (VI) and (ii) assess VRN recommendation accuracy of active and passive sensors as compared to the agronomic optimum N rate (AONR) in irrigated corn. This study is comprised of six site-years (SY), conducted in 2015, 2016 and 2017 on different soil types (silt loam, loam and sandy loam) and with a range of preplant-applied... L. Bastos, R.B.

3. Spatial and Temporal Factors Impacting Incremental Corn Nitrogen Fertilier Use EfficiencyCurrent tools for making crop N fertilizer recommendations are primarily based on plot and field studies that relate the recommendation to the economic optional N rate (EONR). Some tools rely entirely on localized EONR (e.g., MRTN). In recent years, tools have been developed or adapted to account for within-field variation in crop N need or variable within season factors. Separately, attention continues to elevate for how N fertilizer recommendations might account for environmental... N.R. Kitchen, C.J. Ransom, J.S. Schepters, J.L. Hatfield, R. Massey |
