Persistence of herbicides in soil

William S. Curran · 1 Sep 2016

While it is desirable for the chemicals to control weeds during the season of application, it is not desirable for them to persist and affect subsequent crop growth. Factors that determine the length of time herbicides persist fall into three categories: soil factors, climatic conditions, and herbicidal properties. Factors from each category strongly interact with…

The water conundrum of planting cover crops in the Great Plains: When is an inch not an inch?

Clay Robinson, David C. Nielsen · 1 Jan 2015

Cover crop use is being widely promoted throughout the entire United States because of the potential benefits related to protecting and improving the soil. However, in semiarid environments such as the western and central Great Plains (where water is the single most limiting factor to crop production), cover crop water use may result in significant…

Iron Availability and Management Considerations: A 4R Approach

John Jones · 1 Mar 2020

Though iron deficiency symptoms can be visually apparent in most crops, the underlying reasoning for reduced uptake or availability can be more complex. Dedicating time to understanding the soil‐plant environment in each distinctive soil where you suspect iron to be limiting productivity is well worth it.

Soil acidification in the semiarid regions of North America's Great Plains

Clain Jones, Rick Engel, Kathrin Olson‐Rutz · 1 Mar 2019

Very acidic soil pH conditions have begun to appear in crop fields throughout the semi‐arid regions of the Great Plains. This is, in part, due to N fertilization. Sound N fertilizer and residue management and tailored crop rotations can slow down and prevent soil acidification. Earn 0.5 CEUs in Soil & Water Management by reading…
