1. Helpful or Not?- Biostimulant Use in Corn Silage Production

There has been a recent increase in both the availability and marketing of biostimulant products to local producers, particularly to dairymen, in southern Idaho. These products claim to increase yield and nutrient use efficiency while improving soil health on agricultural fields. If these claims are true, the use of these products would ultimately aid in promoting the overall sustainability of Idaho farms. However, there is a lack of objective data to support these claims, leaving producers uncertain... L.R. Schott, S. Hines, J. Packham, G. Loomis, M. De haro marti, C. Willmore

2. Variable Rate N and P Management for High-value Vegetable Cropping Systems

The Lower Colorado River Region (LCRR) of Arizona and California and their environs produce more than 90% of the nation’s cool season vegetables during the fall-winter-spring period. Large amounts of N and P fertilizers are currently utilized for maximum yield and quality.  Phosphorus fertilizers are applied pre-plant based on a soil test of a composite field sample.  Nitrogen is applied by side-dress based on a plant midrib or petiole N analysis, or soil nitrate-N test, from a...

3. Optimizing Fertigation for High Value Crops

In irrigated farming systems, soluble and mobile fertilizers, such as sources of nitrogen, are often applied to crops through fertigation. Fertigation presents both opportunities and challenges. Potential opportunities include better synchronization of nutrient availability with crop demand through the growing season and potential energy savings. Challenges include the need for additional investment on infrastructure for nutrient injection into the irrigation conveyance and distribution system,... C.A. Sanchez, D. Zerihun
