Genetic and agronomic approaches for improving nitrogen use and maize productivity
Several factors have large effects on maize grain yield including environment, nitrogen (N) supply, and hybrid genetics. Efficient and environmentally responsible use of N fertilizer is a cornerstone of high‐yielding maize production, and improvements in maize N use will require a combination of …

Discovery and characterization of genes controlling nitrogen utilization in maize
Maize (Zea mays, L.) yield has a well-documented response to supplemental nitrogen (N). As a result of this response, supplemental N is applied to nearly all maize grown in the U.S. and other industrialized nations, and the use of N fertilizer in developing countries is on the rise. While …

Alternative and Improved Cropping Systems for Virginia
… model-prescribed rates (Virginia Corn Algorithm, Maize-N, Nutrient Expert-Maize) and the standard Virginia yield-goal based approach. No differences in corn yield were found between the different simulation model and preplant N rate, however the prescribed sidedress N rate varied significantly due …

Changes in soil properties and their effects on maize productivity following sesbania and pigeon pea improved fallow system in Eastern Zambia
… of 1-3 years have a potential to increase maize yield without additional inorganic nitrogen fertilizers. The mechanisms responsible for improved maize yield are partially understood. therefore the objective of the study were (1) to quantify some changes in soil properties that may be …

Time And Rate Of Nitrogen Fertilization Influence Maize Nitrogen Use Efficiency And Soil Enzyme Activity
… applications of differing nitrogen (N) rates for maize (Zea mays L.) on an irrigated Hubbard-Mosford loamy sand complex at Becker, a non-irrigated Normania loam soil at Lamberton, and a non-irrigated Nicollet clay loam soil at Waseca, MN. Fall and spring treatments were applied at recommended and …

Systems Evaluation of Shallow Anhydrous Ammonia Placements, Rates, and Timing on Maize Plant Uniformity, Yield and N Use Efficiency
… their fertilizer management practices during maize (<em>Zea mays</em> L.) production. With the advent of precision guidance systems, maize farmers in various tillage systems have more options in pre-plant nutrient banding relative to the intended crop rows or throughout the entire growing …
