Good management practices are essential if optimum fertilizer responses are to be realized. These practices include adequate irrigation, use of recommended varieties, selection of adapted soils, weed control, disease and insect control, good seedbed preparation, proper seeding methods, and timely harvest. Follow recommended soil sampling and testing procedures to estimate...

Ammonia (NH₃) volatilization can result in a substantial amount of surface applied nitrogen (N) being lost into the atmosphere, making it an environmental pollutant as well as reducing plant-available N. However, N can also be easily lost from the soil through leaching,
and nitrous oxide (NO₂). Enhanced efficiency N fertilizers...
To increase efficiency of seed production, it is important to
understand the effects of nitrogen (N) fertilizer rate and time of
application. In particular, the effects on floret fertility should
be examined since only a small proportion of florets actually produce harvestable seed. For these reasons, experiments were conducted in...
