Does potentially mineralizable nitrogen predict maize yield in newly cropped soil? [PDF]

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2020
Fallow soils converted to crop use have unpredictable soil organic nitrogen (SON) availability during the growing season, which incentivizes over‐applying fertilizer N by way of compensation.

Carbon and Nitrogen Mineralization in Dark Grey Calcareous Floodplain Soil Is Influenced by Tillage Practices and Residue Retention [PDF]

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Very little is known about the changes that occur in soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) under an intensive rice-based cropping system following the change to minimal tillage and increased crop residue retention in the Gangetic Plains of ...

A Simple and Rapid Method to Evaluate Potentially Mineralizable Nitrogen in Sewage Sludge Amended Calcareous Soils [PDF]

open access: yesآب و فاضلاب, 2005
Potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) can be usually considered as labile nitrogen. Measurement of PMN is expensive and time consuming; therefore, a simpler and more rapid alternative may facilitate routine laboratory analysis.

Post-termination Effects of Cover Crop Monocultures and Mixtures on Soil Inorganic Nitrogen and Microbial Communities on Two Organic Farms in Illinois

open access: yesFrontiers in Soil Science, 2022
Cover crops can continue to affect agricultural systems even after they have been terminated by influencing nitrogen dynamics and by altering soil microbial communities.

Exploring Overwintered Cover Crops as a Soil Management Tool in Upper-midwest High Tunnels

open access: yesHortScience, 2022
High tunnels are an important season extension tool for horticultural production in cold climates, however maintaining soil health in these intensively managed spaces is challenging. Cover crops are an attractive management tool to address issues such as

A SINGLE MEASUREMENT TO PREDICT POTENTIAL MINERALIZABLE NITROGEN [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2002
Since the early 1970's, soil nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) levels have been used as a basis for N fertilizer recommendations in western Canada. However, soil nitrate N does not represent the supplying power of soil N for plant uptake. Furthermore, the nitrate concentration in soil changes depending on the time and ambient conditions at sampling. Researchers

Extending Cover Crop Benefits with Zone Till Management in Northern Organic Summer Squash Production

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Winter annual legume cover crops often fail to reach full maturity by spring vegetable planting dates in northern climates, which prevents maximum nitrogen (N) contributions.

Potentially mineralizable nitrogen in West African lowland rice soils [PDF]

open access: yesGeoderma, 1997
Abstract Nitrogen (N) deficiency is a major constraint to rice production in West Africa. Little information is available on the N supplying capacity of soils used for wetland rice production in West Africa. Potentially mineralizable N, as a measure of N supplying capacity, was determined employing an anaerobic incubation test in 15 diverse soils ...
