Economics of the Greenseeder Hand Planter
Core Ideas Break‐even corn yield increase for a US$50 Greenseeder hand planter is 1.12%. A US$50 Greenseeder hand planter needs to use 12.19% fewer seeds, and reduces labor man‐days by 38.66%. If used for fertilization, the Greenseeder hand planter could increase corn yields up to 10.82%.

Reduced‐lignin alfalfa production in the water‐limited environments of the US Central Great Plains
Abstract Previous studies indicate reduced‐lignin (RL) alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars as a more digestible livestock feed option with minimal reductions in biomass than conventional alfalfa cultivars at the same growth stage, allowing for harvest flexibility. However, these findings are derived from environments with adequate moisture. Thus, RL

Core Ideas Wheat varieties differ in forage and grain yield in their tolerance to acidic soils. Grain yield maximized at soil pH of 5.8 and 4.8 for sensitive and tolerant varieties. Forage yield maximized at soil pH of 6.0 and 5.5 for sensitive and tolerant varieties.

Soil pH influence on cotton lint yield and quality
Abstract Increases in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production across Oklahoma due to various circumstances have led to cotton planted on soils that have been traditionally managed for differing crops, specifically winter wheat. Many of these soils are possibly acidic in nature due to natural and anthropogenic activities such as excessive ammonia ...

Due to limited water availability and increasing water costs, it is essential to identify and utilize turfgrasses with reduced water use rates. The objective of this study was to evaluate the evapotranspiration rates of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) genotypes under nonlimiting soil moisture conditions in the field at Stillwater, OK.

Evaluation of tissue phosphorus concentrations as diagnostic tool for phosphorus nutrition in corn
Abstract Phosphorus (P) management in corn (Zea mays L.) traditionally relies on soil testing, but other diagnostic tools, such as tissue analysis, can be used to assess nutrient management. This study aimed to evaluate plant tissue analysis, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) readings as ...

Core Ideas Thirty‐two percent of the locations had an increase in grain yield with increased nutrient inputs. Wheat response to additional N was potentially due to underestimated yield potential or N losses attributable to ammonia losses, immobilization, leaching, or environmental conditions.

Abstract The interaction between nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) fertilizers significantly impacts the uptake of micronutrients in corn, influencing their availability in soil and uptake by plants. Understanding the interaction of macro‐ and micronutrients is a prerequisite to targeting nutrient balance in crop production.

Predicting Early Season Nitrogen Rates of Corn Using Indicator Crops
Core Ideas Early season N deficiencies in corn are hard to recognize, or they appear later in the season, and are too late to correct the deficiency. Indicator crop growing over the winter and early spring cycle makes perfect sense in terms of being able to detect N deficiencies earlier in the growing season. Indicator crop concept could apply to other
