The developed resource is a science kit that includes hands-on experiments that show upper elementary and junior high school students how plants grow and their nutritional needs.

Fertility Management of Winter Wheat Grown after Alfalfa

Forage hay crops remove large amounts of nutrients from the soil, because of this, levels of available phosphorous, potassium and sulfur are often marginal for crops following forages.

Agronomic Aspects of Coated Potassium Chloride Fertilizers

Research investigating if polymer coated KCl will enhance the nutrient use efficiency of K and Cl, and reduce the damaging effect of higher rates of seed placed fertilizer.

Site-specific Management of Potatoes

This project is investigating the potential for site-specific management to improve yields of irrigated potatoes. Tissue concentrations of P and K can be quite variable.

Assess the impact of fertilizer placement on weeds in no-till seeding systems.

1995 Annual Interpretive Summary - Agronomic testing and introduction of potassium chloride in Pakistan

Potassium research studies conducted throughout the country in 1995 support previous results showing significant yield increases in major crops where soil available K levels are inadequate. Also, thes ...

Evaluation of seed placed fertilizer rates

Questions that now remain unanswered are urea impacts on calcareous soils and the role that ammonium sulphate might play in various mixes with urea and what the safe rates of combined N,P,K and S fert ...

Nutrient Requirements of Mixed Forages

This new project is attempting to demonstrate how balancing N and P, and harvesting methods can improve stand life and productivity.

The Availability of P and K Contained in Pea and Fababean Residue to a Subsequent Crop

Assess the availability, release and use of P and K from field pea and fababean residues, to subsequest cereal crops.

Maximizing Forage Productivity by Improving Effectiveness of P and K Fertilizers

Phosphorus fertilization is essential for good forage production. This study is showing how P fertilization affects dry matter yield and protein of alfalfa and bromegrass hay in central Alberta.

To evaluate the use of Diagnostic Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) analysis on three high value crops - irrigated alfalfa, irrigated corn, and greenhouse cucumbers.

Influence of phosphorus fertilizer on the soil quality of a historic irrigated rotation

Determine the influence of historic phosphorus application on soil quality and nutrient supplying power in a low input irrigated crop rotation.

Effect of K and Cl on wheat stem sawfly damage and disease incidence in dryland and irrigated wheat

Project assessing the effect of K and Cl nutrition on crop disease and wheat stem sawfly infestation in wheat.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertility requirements for optimizing protein levels in malting barley

For optimum economic returns, fertilizer applications should be managed to apply sufficient N to attain the highest possible yield, without increasing protein content beyond the acceptable levels. For ...

Preliminary Evaluation of Point-injection for Application of P & K to Forage Grasses in Southern Alberta

Greenhouse study assessing the benefits of point-injection for improving P and K use by forage grass. Results will be used to design of future large-scale field experiments.

P and K fertilizer nutrients in forage crops

Only about 15% of the alfalfa grown in western Canada is fertilized annually, and generally with low rates of P. Therefore, P and K are often inadequate to produce the most economic yield. This projec ...

Interaction of drip-applied potassium with soil nutrients

Assess the effect of drip applied potassium (K) as it interacts with other nuitrients
