1. Using Dynamic Crop Growth Data to Assess Early Season N Status in MaizeNitrogen (N) is perhaps the most important mineral nutrient determining crop growth and yield. Fertilizer sources can vary, but it is used in practically all cropping systems, and accounts for one of the highest input costs. Farmers often overapply N to their fields as a simple "insurance policy" to guarantee maximum yields. This can be problematic due to the volatile nature of N in the environment, as well reducing potential profits by not optimizing the rates. There... A. Yore, P. Lanza, L. Longchamps |
2. Making Sense of Unreplicated Farmer Experiments Through Causal PathwaysMost farmers experiment on their own farms every season, yet their conclusions are often drawn from limited data and are prone to misinterpretation. This study explores how scientists can support farmer-led on-farm experimentation (OFE) using analytical frameworks that complement — rather than disrupt — farmers' natural learning processes. The research evaluated a nitrogen-fixing inoculant (NFI) containing Klebsiella variicola and Kosakonia sacchari,... L. Longchamps, P. Lanza, A. Yore, K. Rohrbaugh |
