Conservation agricultural systems have a long history of development and use in the
southeastern United States, but they are still not the norm on the landscape. Literature from …

In the Taihu region of China, overuse of chemical nitrogen (N) fertilizer is often associated
with low nitrogen recovery (NRE) and leads to serious groundwater pollution caused by N …

An undeveloped root system generally leads to low water utilization efficiency and
decreases the yield in spring maize (Zea mays L.). Little is known about whether changing …

Deep application of nitrogen fertilizer (DANF) is a strategy based on applying nitrogen
fertilizer in the plow layer where it is not exposed to the surface of the soil. Due to its …

Best management practices (BMPs) are site-specific and their implementation, long-term
management, and maintenance are important for successful reduction of phosphorus (P) …

Tillage practices are known to influence soil stratification, but crop rotation can strongly affect
fluxes of energy and matter, and thus play a role in determining soil organic matter (SOM) …

A better understanding of crop growth and nutrient uptake responses to the depth of fertilizer
banded-placement in the soil is needed if growth and nutrient uptake responses are to be …

Inappropriate nitrogen (N) application can lower N use efficiency (NUE) and crop water
productivity (WP), and further affect the sustainable development of agriculture in the rain …

Continuous potassium (K) removal without replenishment is progressively mining
Argentinean soils. Our goals were to evaluate the sensitivity of soil-K to K budgets, quantify …

Recent research in Illinois suggests that yield increase in corn (Zea mays L.) and soybean
[Glycine max.(L.) Merr.] with strip‐till (ST) vs. no‐till (NT) could be explained by differences in …
