Polyhalite as an alternative potassium fertilizer for sweetpotatoes
Abstract Polyhalite is a mineral that contains a significant source of potassium (K). Muriate of potash (MOP) is a widely used, well‐characterized, and available source of K fertilizer. This study evaluated polyhalite as a source of K fertilizer compared to the more commonly used MOP by measuring yields, nutrient uptake, and soil K in Covington ...

Wireworms are the larvae (immatures) of click beetles. Adults are elongate, slender, hardshelled beetles that take their name from their habit of flipping into the air (sometimes with an audible clicking sound) when they are placed on their backs. This fact sheet reviews the management of wireworms.

ABSTRACT Herbivorous soil‐dwelling pests cause damage in agriculture through decreases in root and shoot biomass, which can affect both plant and economic yield. Having a greater understanding of the soil environment of these pests could identify potential avenues for mitigation/control strategies. Leatherjackets (Tipula larvae) are pests of grasslands

Abstract Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) is a short‐duration high‐biomass cover crop often grown in potato (Solanum tuberosum) rotations to provide select agroecosystem services. However, buckwheat's short generation time challenges its continued viability as a cover crop as seed is rapidly produced, resulting in volunteer issues in subsequent ...
