Doubling Global Food Production: Are We Up To It?

Needed: some new champions for high-yield production to help raise the bar for the next decade.
Agriculture is faced with the challenge of doubling global food crop production between now and 2050--if not sooner--as a growing world population, improving global economies, and new uses for traditional food crops ...ENTIRE ARTICLE

Optimizing Nutrient Management for Sustainable Bio-energy Feedstock Production

Studies conducted using NPKS fluid fertilizers to enhance corn grain and biomass productivity.

In 2008, results for conventional and twin-row management averaged 171 and 183 bu/A, respectively. Dry corn stover yields averaged 2.5, 2.9, 2.8, and 3.1...ENTIRE ARTICLE

Diffusion of Fluid and Granular Phosphorus and Zinc Inhibited in Dry Soil

Studies conducted in six soils from the cereal growing regions of Southern Australia and Kansas.

Fluid and granular fertilizers containing zinc (Zn) and phosphorus (P) were incubated for four weeks air dry and at optimal moisture in six soils from the ...ENTIRE ARTICLE

What’s New in Ag Chemical and Crop Nutrient Interactions

The shift to less tillage, herbicide resistant crops, and extensive glyphosate application has significantly changed nutrient availability and plant efficiency for a number of plant nutrients.
Understanding glyphosate’s mode of action and impact of the RR gene, indicates strategies to offset negative impacts of this monochemical ...ENTIRE ARTICLE
