Soil #Nitrogen benchmark Apr 19, 2021. Key findings for Iowa: 1) soil N mineralization at or above normal and higher compared to 2020; 2) soil N losses normal to below normal. mike castellano @marklicht crops.extension.iastate.edu/blog/mark-lich…

New paper: Climate change increased soil N mineralization (24%) & N2O (19%) but decreased soy N fixation (32%) & seed N (20%). Improved residue mgt (short term) and water mgt (long term) can substantially alter the direction of the N fluxes. Read more: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

The water table depth is trending upwards since March 2022 in most Iowa districts (except northwest), and after a long period is at near-normal levels, read more here: crops.extension.iastate.edu/blog/mark-lich… @marklicht mike castellano

📢The Forecast and Assessment of Cropping sysTemS (FACTS) website is already tracking soil moisture across 3 different depths, and soil N mineralization. The website will keep you posted every Wednesday, sharing maps and graphs across the Midwest.📢 ArchontoulisLab, Elvis Elli

Tradeoffs exist between water table depth, corn grain yields, and systems sustainability under #climatechange scenarios in the US Corn Belt. Check out the full text: doi.org/10.1007/s13593…

Maize breeding increased final kernel weight (and yield) via different mechanisms depending on the hybrid maturity. Check our new article at FCR: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hlL-1M2tVVI… Iowa State Agronomy Sotirios Archontoulis Kendall Lamkey Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR)

Maize leaf angle genetic gain is slowing down in the last decades. We also found that breeding and plant density have similarly contributed to historical leaf angle changes in the middle canopy. Check out the full-text here: doi.org/10.1002/csc2.2… Sotirios Archontoulis

Pleased to share that registration is open for the 2024 #APSIM Next Gen training workshop (June 17-19, Ames, IA). The course is limited to 25 participants. Link: regcytes.extension.iastate.edu/apsim/ Iowa State Agronomy

It’s a beautiful day for planting corn in Fayetteville! Elvis Elli, Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station asst. prof. (crop physiology and adaptation to climate change) has 5 hybrids he’s testing in a planting-date study. It will be fun to watch these grow at SAREC. UA System Div of Ag

By combining field studies with crop modeling, Dr. Elvis Elli helps farmers in Arkansas and beyond improve productivity and resilience in a changing environment. UA System Div of Ag Elvis Elli #Crops #BehindTheDiscovery #Climate
