Crop and Soil Responses to Using Corn Stover as a Bioenergy Feedstock: Observations from the Northern US Corn Belt

Johnson, Jane M. F.; Acosta-Martinez, Veronica; … - In: Agriculture 3 (2013) 1, pp. 72-89

>) or Low (~1.5 Mg ha yr−1) Return) on corn and soybean (Glycine max. L [Merr.]) yields and on soil …. Stover return rate did not affect corn and soybean yields except under NT1995 where Low Return (2.88 Mg ha−1) reduced yields compared with Full and Moderate Return (3.13 Mg ha−1). In NT1995 at 0–5 cm depth, particulate …

Managing Soil Erosion in Northern Ireland: A Review of Past and Present Approaches

Mullan, Donal - In: Agriculture 3 (2013) 4, pp. 684-699

In recent decades, the off-site transport of sediment and nutrients from agricultural land into the neighbouring natural and built environment has become a more pressing environmental sustainability issue than the on-site threats of soil erosion in many of the world’s temperate regions. In the...

Assessing the Potential for Ion Selective Electrodes and Dual Wavelength UV Spectroscopy as a Rapid on-Farm Measurement of Soil Nitrate Concentration

Shaw, Rory; Williams, A. Prysor; Miller, Anthony; … - In: Agriculture 3 (2013) 3, pp. 327-341

Current fertiliser recommendations for nitrogen are limited in their accuracy and may be improved by the use of simple on-farm soil rapid tests. This paper investigates the potential for using nitrate (NO3−) ion selective electrodes (ISEs) and dual wavelength UV spectroscopy as part of a rapid...
