Cover cropping increased nitrogen use efficiency indices in silage cropping systems
Abstract Excessive and inefficient use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in cropping systems can harm the environment, soil, and human health. Cover crops can improve soil health over time, but their impact on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is not fully understood.

Abstract Common strategies to mitigate soil degradation of agricultural soils include cover crop application and soil amendment addition. Applying dredged sediments as a soil amendment is gaining popularity since they often provide benefits other amendments lack; however, their use with cover crops is largely unexplored.

Quality of Maize Silage After Using Meat Bone Meal as a Phosphorus Fertilizer in a Field Experiment
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of increasing doses of meat and bone meal (MBM) and the year of the experiment on the feed value of maize silage. A three-year field experiment with silage maize was conducted.

Abstract Angular leaf spot (ALS; Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci) has become an increasingly important disease in dark tobacco [Nicotiana tabacum L.] production since 2015. Current recommendations for controlling ALS include selecting dark tobacco varieties with low ALS susceptibility and using agricultural streptomycin.

Prediction of cereal rye biomass accumulation in Wisconsin based on weather and agronomic management
Abstract Cereal rye (Secale cereale L.) biomass accumulation is strongly influenced by weather conditions and management practices, making accurate biomass estimates critical for guiding farmers’ management decisions. In this study, we evaluated how weather (e.g., temperature and rainfall) and management practices (including planting and termination ...

Genomic and phenomic prediction models improve selection accuracy for complex traits in alfalfa
Abstract Predictive breeding has been proposed as an effective approach to accelerate genetic gain for complex traits. Genomic prediction (GP) models have been developed in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) for key traits in the last decade. More recently, phenomic prediction (PP) models have been proposed as a low‐cost, high‐throughput alternative to GP in
