Ammonium Sulfate and Ammonium Sulfate Nitrate Application on White Potatoes, 2009
Managing plant nutrition for potatoes can be challenging since the crop's nutrient demands are high, and so is its potential for impact on soil and water quality. This experiment examines the effects of N sources for potatoes grown in rotation with wheat, soybeans, and corn within strip-till and no-till management systems.
In 2009, urea and ammonium sulfate applied pre-plant proved to be equally effective for increasing potato yield. Highest potato yields were obtained when urea and ammonium sulfate were applied pre-plant, followed by side-dressing with urea and ammonium sulfate nitrate. MD-14F
