Re‐thinking corn phosphorus requirements: Can we optimize timing to get by with less?
Abstract Below‐optimum soil phosphorus (P) levels limit crop production, while excess P transported from agricultural landscapes to surface water contributes to eutrophication. Improvements in P‐utilization efficiency (PUE) would benefit agro‐economic efficiency and water quality.

Abstract Integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLS) can reduce nutrient losses relative to annual cropping, yet seasonal dynamics of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and nitrogen in organic systems remain poorly understood. We evaluated non‐purgeable organic carbon (NPOC), total nitrogen (TN), and C:N ratios during the sixth and seventh years of a ...

Summary of soil organic carbon (SOC) responses to contrasting organic grain management systems after three years. SOC stocks increased across soil depths (0–60 cm) relative to baseline conditions, while active carbon fractions (POXC, WEOC, and MBC) in the surface soil layer responded to differences in cropping system management strategies.

Assessing short‐stature corn hybrids for irrigated Mid‐South production systems
Abstract Short‑stature (SS) corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids represent an emerging phenotype with distinct morphological characteristics, but their performance under irrigated Mid‑South conditions is not well documented. We compared two SS hybrids (H1 and H2) and three tall‐stature (TS) hybrids (H3, H4, and H5) over two seasons.

Chamber‐based root exclusion partitions total soil respiration (RT) into autotrophic (RA) and heterotrophic (RH) components in switchgrass and corn systems. Biometric carbon intensity (CI) estimated from RH reveals switchgrass as a net soil C sink (−1.95 Mg CO2‐eq Mg−1 harvested biomass) and corn as a net source (+0.68 Mg CO2‐eq Mg−1).
