Robert Wilson, Extension Weeds Specialist John Smith, Machinery Systems Specialist Russell Moomaw, Extension Crops and Weeds Specialist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Cover Crops Seeded Late Season in Soybeans ... Cover Crops Spring Seeded to Provide Protection for Sugarbeets and Selected Vegetable Crops Agricultural producers are hearing more about cover crops, but many are unsure how such plants might be used in current crop production systems. Cover crops are legumes, cereals or an appropriate mixture. They are grown specifically to protect soil from erosion, protect emerging crops from blowing soil particles, improve soil structure, enhance soil fertility, reduce nutrient leaching, recycle nutrients and suppress weeds. A number of plant species could be used, but they must be successfully integrated into a diverse number of cropping systems used in Nebraska. Nebraska has many areas where cover crops can be valuable. First, there are the sandy soils in the Sandhills. Antelope, Holt, Madison, Pierce and Stanton counties have large acreages of these sandy soils in cultivated crop production. The rolling loess hills of eastern Nebraska, alternately cropped to soybeans and corn, could benefit from use of cover crops. The low organic matter, sandy soils of southwest Nebraska are vulnerable to wind erosion. The same is true of soils in the irrigationd North Platte River Valley, where field beans, potatoes and sugarbeets leave little crop residue.

G82-587-A Understanding Potassium for Crop Production in Nebraska This NebGuide discusses the availability of and the need for potassium in Nebraska soils George W. Rehm, Extension Soils Specialist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Forms of Potassium ... Potassium in Irrigation Water Potassium (K) is an essential nutrient absorbed from soils by crops in relatively large amounts. Therefore, it is classified as a major nutrient. Although large amounts are absorbed, potassium is not necessarily needed in a fertilizer program. Numerous studies conducted with all major crops have definitely shown that adding potassium to a fertilizer program does not lead to yield increases on the large majority of soils in Nebraska. Forms of Potassium Potassium exists in three forms in all soils: unavailable (fixed) slowly available readily available Unavailable, or fixed, potassium is a part of the minerals (feldspars and micas) in the soil. This form of potassium is converted to either the slowly available or the readily available form by the process called weathering. The rate of weathering is not the same across the state. It is affected by such factors as the type of mineral being weathered, moisture content of the soil, and temperature. The slowly available form of potassium is held tightly to the clay-sized particles in soils. In some cases, this form may be "trapped" between two clay particles.

27. Potassium For Crop Production Minnesota soils can supply some K for crop production, but when the supply fromthe soil is not adequate, K must be supplied in a fertilizer program. http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/cropsystems/DC6794.html

FO-06794-GO 1997 To Order George Rehm and Michael Schmitt Potassium (K) is an essential nutrient for plant growth. Because large amounts are absorbed from the root zone in the production of most agronomic crops, it is classified as a macronutrient. Minnesota soils can supply some K for crop production, but when the supply from the soil is not adequate, K must be supplied in a fertilizer program. This publication provides information important to the basic understanding of K nutrition of plants, its reaction in soils, its function in plants, and its role in efficient crop production. Role in Plant Growth The exact function of K in plant growth has not been clearly defined. Potassium is associated with movement of water, nutrients, and carbohydrates in plant tissue. If K is deficient or not supplied in adequate amounts, growth is stunted and yields are reduced. Various research efforts have shown that potassium stimulates early growth, increases protein production, improves the efficiency of water use

29. Soil Cation Ratios For Crop Production North Central Regional Extension Publication 533. Soil Cation Ratios for crop production. FromSchulte and Kelling (1985). Cation Ratios and crop production http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/cropsystems/DC6437.html

FO-06437-GO 1994 To Order North Central Regional Extension Publication 533 Soil Cation Ratios for Crop Production by George Rehm Soil Science Department University of Minnesota For many years, soil testing has been used as a management tool to arrive at fertilizer recommendations that are essential for economic crop production. Two general concepts or philosophies of making fertilizer recommendations evolved as the use of soil testing techniques and procedures were refined and used more and more as a basis for making fertilizer recommendations. The "sufficiency level" approach is built on the concept that there are certain levels of plant nutrients in soil that can be defined as optimum. Below some defined level, crops will respond to the application of a nutrient in question. Likewise, crops will not respond to the addition of the nutrient if the soil test levels are above a defined sufficient level. The "basic cation saturation ratio" (BCSR) approach promotes the concept that maximum yields can only be achieved by creating an ideal ratio of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and potassium (K) in the soil system. This approach is not concerned with recommendations for nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), sulfur (S), and the micronutrients. Today, most public and private soil testing laboratories responsible for making fertilizer recommendations use the "sufficiency level" approach. Others adjust recommendations generated from the "sufficiency level" approach with a consideration for the "basic cation saturation ratios." A more detailed discussion of the BCSR and "sufficiency level" approaches to fertilizer recommendations is provided by Eckert (1987). Recommendations based on the "basic cation saturation ratio" concept are usually quite different from those based on the "sufficiency level" concept. This confuses the grower as well as those who advise the grower. Therefore, this publication addresses the history of the "basic cation saturation ratio" concept and examines its importance and relevancy for crop production. It is not written for the purpose of comparing fertilizer recommendations resulting from the use of either concept.

Harrison, an assistant professor in Boston College's Geology and Geophysics Department, has published new research on a farming technique that can both increase crop yields and reduce the release of carbons that develop into greenhouse gases. In the book Changing Land Use and Terrestrial Carbon Storage, Harrison and his co-authors, Michelle Segal (BC master's degree in 2003) and Matthew Hoskins (BC bachelor's degree in 2000) of the University of Wyoming, describe the results of a study of various farming techniques and their impact on crop production and the environment.

Their findings showed that the conservation method produced the highest crop yield, 15% more than conventional tillage and 110% more than organic farming. It also held the most carbon in the soil41% more soil carbon than conventional tillage and 48% more than organic. This catching and holding of soil carbon, called sequestration, keeps carbon from being incorporated into carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.

Perennial forage crops in Canada and in the northern part of the United States prefer the comfort of a nice snow cover after a good rest period in the fall. Rain, ice, and no snow cover in the middle of the winter will occur more often in the future; this brings no comfort to perennial forage crops." For this study, conducted from 1999 to 2001, scientists developed agro-climatic indices related to the effect of climate conditions on winter survival of perennial forage crops. These agro-climatic indices were then calculated for current conditions (1961-90) and two future periods (2010-39, 2040-69). Sixty-nine climatic stations located in all agricultural areas of Eastern Canada were used.
