Abstract:
... Annual bluegrass (ABG) (Poa annua L.) is a prolific seed producer in the spring on golf courses that in turn decreases aesthetic quality and trueness of ball roll on cool‐season putting greens. Proxy (ethephon) applied twice in the spring after green‐up is the current industry standard after the loss of Embark (mefluidide) from the turf and ornamental market. However, plant growth regulators inclu ...

Abstract:
... Spring and summer weather volatility plus poor N use efficiency emphasize the importance of improving corn (Zea mays L.) N management strategies. Synchronizing N application with crop uptake and flexibility for in‐season sidedressing placement options may reduce N losses. Field studies in Michigan evaluated four N timing strategies: broadcast pre‐emergence (PRE), sidedressing at V4 to V6 (0:100), ...

Abstract:
... Planting short‐season corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids with maturity ratings earlier than those of hybrids commonly grown in Ohio (hereafter referred to as “ultra‐early” hybrids) might offer advantages in cover cropping systems by promoting an earlier corn harvest. Earlier harvest would facilitate earlier planting of cover crops or small grains to improve fall establishment. However, performance data re ...

Abstract:
... Mid‐southern U.S. soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] producers are frequently encouraged to adopt no‐tillage systems to capture the associated environmental benefits; however, adoption is minimal due to the need for raised seedbeds for irrigation and drainage purposes. This research was conducted to determine if zone tillage systems, with and without a tillage radish (Raphanus sativus L. var. longip ...
