1. Enhanced Efficiency Phosphorus Fertilizers

Phosphorus (P) is essential for plants. However, first-year phosphorus fertilizer uptake by plants is low, resulting in economic and environmental impacts. Developments with P Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF) sources show improved uptake efficiency and increased yield and/or crop quality, while reducing environmental risk. Research with EEFs (including organic acids, maleic itaconic copolymer, and struvite) all show these improvements, especially when: 1) soil test P concentrations are low,... B. Hopkins, S.J.

2. Soil Test Interpretation: Saturated Paste, EC, SAR and CEC

Soils of neutral to alkaline pH of the Western United States often contain elevated levels of soluble salts and / or higher concentrations of sodium.  Elevated concentrations of soluble salts limit crop growth and sodium may impact water management.  Competent agricultural management of these soils is dependent on laboratory analysis of: soil soluble salts and there composition and the irrigation water soluble salt constituents.  Soil analysis based on the saturated...

3. Reliability of Soil and Plant Analyses for Making Nutrient Recommendations

Nutrient management is dependent on the collection of soil and plant samples for analytical testing and assessment. The quality of the analytical test are subject to bias and precision of the measurements made by the testing laboratory. Failure to understand lab analyses uncertainty can lead to over confidence in the management recommendation. Test uncertainty varies by soil and plant test methods utilized and by performance capability of the testing laboratory. Generally soil methods that provide... R. Miller

4. Soil Biological Indicators of Soil Health for Soil Health Assessments

Soil is one of our nation's most valuable resources that provides life-sustaining functions. Billions of organisms live belowground and perform critical soil processes to support plant, animal, and human health aboveground. By shifting our view of soils from an inert growing material to a biologically diverse and active ecosystem, we can help create more sustainable farms, ranches, and forests to provide the food and fiber for our rapidly growing population while protecting land, air and water...
