Quick Bibliography Series
Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the
National Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are
not indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject.
However, the citations are a substantial resource for recent
investigations on a given topic. They also serve the purpose
of bringing the literature of agriculture to the interested
user who, in many cases, could not access it by any other
means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-
line searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic
and evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for
distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or
omission of a particular publication or citation may not be
construed as endorsement or disapproval.
To request a copy of a bibliography in this series, send the

production; Economic analysis; Profitability; Feasibility;
Production costs; Labor requirements; Farm inputs
Abstract: Extended grazing is a management system in which
the usual grazing
season is lengthened by utilization of hay fields for pasture.
Extended
grazing systems are a low-input alternative to conventional
systems to the
extent that they decrease the reliance on inputs such as
machinery and energy
to harvest forage. Substituting pasturing for harvested forage
can therefore
potentially decrease production costs and enhance the
profitability of
livestock production. However, the farm-level economic impacts
of such a
substitution are not well known. This analysis quantifies
these impacts for
beef cow/calf production. Specifying alternative meadow
management systems for
different grasses and using an economic-engineering approach,
we have found
that extended grazing can be a more profitable option for
cow/calf production.
Other findings suggest that, in an extended grazing system,
the type of
meadow, the hay baling method and the associated hay spoilage
level also have
important effects on production costs and profitability.

Abstract: A linear programming model was used to determine
which crop
rotations and weed management systems result in the highest
net farm income
for each of three farm sizes (120, 240, and 480 hectares)
under alternative
tillage systems. Test plot data for the years 1981 through
1988 from the
Purdue University Agronomy Farm, which has highly productive,
well-drained
soils, were analyzed. Net incomes for no-till tillage systems
on all farms in
the model were consistently and significantly lower than
incomes for moldboard
and chisel plow tillage systems due to slightly lower yields
and substantially
higher herbicide costs. Generally, net farm incomes were
slightly higher with
a moldboard plow versus chisel plow tillage system. Also, as
farm size
increased, per hectare net incomes increased. About 80% of the
time under
moldboard or chisel plow tillage systems, the model chose as
optimal the
lowest of three herbicide application rates. A corn/soybean
rotation was
chosen as optimal on 56% of the farm area analyzed, versus 25%
for continuous
corn and 13% for a corn/soybean/wheat rotation.

Abstract: Petroleum spray oil (2, 4 and 6% in water) was
applied to Valencia
orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck, for the control of
Chinese wax scale, Ceroplastes sinensis del Guercio, using a
low-volume (< 2000 litre ha-1)
air-blast (LV AB) sprayer, a low- to high-volume (L-HV) (up to
7000 litre
ha-1) sprayer with four fan-assisted rotary atomiser (FARA)
spray heads
mounted on a vertical tower, and a high-volume (> 7000 litre
ha-1) oscillating
boom (HV OB) sprayer. The most effective sprayer was the L-HV
FARA sprayer.
The most cost-effective treatment was a 20 ml litre-1 (60
litre oil ha-1)
spray applied at 3000 litre ha-1 by the L-HV FARA sprayer. It
gave mortality
equivalent to a standard 20 ml litre-1, 10 700 litre ha-1
spray (214 litre oil
ha-1) applied by the HV OB sprayer but with 72% less spray and
significantly
less oil deposited per cm2 of leaf area. Equivalent or
significantly (P =
0.05) higher mortality, than that given by the 10 700 litre
ha-1 HV OB spray, was given by the 40 ml litre-1, 3000 (120
litre oil ha-1) and 60 ml litre-1, 2180 and 3000 litre ha-1
(130.8 and 180 litre oil ha-1) L-HV FARA sprays, but
the 60 ml litre-sprays deposited more oil per cm2 than the 20
ml litre-1 HV OB
spray and were considered to be potentially phytotoxic. The
least effective
sprayer was the LV AB sprayer, which applied a 60 ml litre-1
spray (57.6 litre
oil ha-1) at 960 litre ha-1. Linear relationships were
established for Chinese
wax scale mortality, transformed using an angular
transformation (aresin
proportion), versus log10 spray volume for the 20, 40 and 60
ml litre-1 sprays
applied by L-HV FARA at 1260, 2180 and 3000 litre ha-1,
mortality versus log10
micrograms oil cm2 and log10 micrograms oil versus log10
volume of oil
sprayed.

Abstract: The objective of this field research was to compare
relative
effectiveness and profitability of alternative herbicides
applied to the same
plots for four consecutive years for controlling and reducing
dense Canada
thistle infestations in no-till spring wheat. Chlorsulfuron at
30 g ai ha-1
plus nonionic surfactant or clopyralid plus 2,4-D at 70 plus
280 g ae ha-1, respectively, applied annually for 4 yr
controlled Canada thistle and was more
effective for gradually reducing Canada thistle stands than
2,4-D at 560 g ae
ha-1, MCPA plus bromoxynil at 280 plus 280 g ae ha-1, or
tribenuron at 20 g ai
ha-1. Chlorsulfuron and clopyralid plus 2,4-D also controlled
Canada thistle
greater than or equal to 90% earlier (by 2 yr) than other
treatments.
Stochastic dominance analysis, a form of economic analysis,
predicted that
either chlorsulfuron or clopyralid plus 2,4-D would be
preferred by farmers to
the untreated check, MCPA plus bromoxynil, or 2,4-D
treatments. Chlorsulfuron
also would be preferred to clopyralid plus 2,4-D by
risk-neutral farmers, whereas clopyralid plus 2,4-D would be
preferred to chlorsulfuron by highly
risk-averse farmers, those who are most likely to pick only
consistently
effective herbicides.

Abstract: Farm programs influence the profitability of a crop
rotation
through five effects: (1) a deficiency payment (DP) effect,
(2) an acreage
reduction (ARP) effect, (3) a base effect, (4) a crop price
effect, and (5) a
risk reduction effect. This study initially examines ARP and
DP effects of the
1985 Farm Bill on the relative profitability Of a low-input
rotation and a
grain-intensive conventional rotation in Washington state over
1986-1990. In
years of low deficiency payments or high foregone returns from
ARP land, the
low-input green manure rotation was competitive with the
conventional rotation
but lost its advantage in years of low ARP costs or high
deficiency payments.
Long-run incentives to maintain wheat base introduced a
consistent bias
against the low-input green manure rotation. Planting
flexibility options
proposed during the 1990 Farm Bill debate could reduce farm
program barriers
to green manure and other low-input rotations. The Bush
Administration's
Normal Crop Acreage (NCA) proposal, which was not accepted in
the 1990
legislation, would have largely eliminated base erosion for
the green manure
rotation in this study. More importantly, non-ARP green manure
acreage would
have qualified for deficiency payments under the NCA, thereby
sharply
increasing the low-input rotation's relative profitability.
Proposals like the
NCA might receive further attention in the future due to
environmental
concerns, fiscal pressures, or possible trade agreements
requiring
multilateral phaseout of agricultural subsidies coupled to
commodities.

Abstract: The importance of risk in a farmer's decision to
use herbicides
should not be forgotten. This paper presents a theoretical
model of the weed
control decision and develops a MOTAD programming model. The
model uses
herbicides at levels of risk aversion found in previous
empirical studies.
This result was not changed by equal (or even higher) ASCS
yields for not
using herbicides, a tax on herbicides, or the elimination of
deficiency
payments. The variability of returns was more important in
influencing a
farmer to choose herbicides than the higher expected returns
in a nonherbicide
system.

Abstract: Improved fertilizer N management with respect to
placement and
timing is especially important in high-residue systems
designed to improve
N-use efficiency and to speed adoption of erosion controlling
tillage
practices. By means of point-injection technology, fertilizer
solutions now
can be applied and soil-incorporated with minimal disturbance
of surface
residue or existing plants. This study was conducted in large
non-weighing
lysimeters (with reconstituted soil horizons) to determine the
recovery of
15N-labeled urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) solution by continuous
no-till corn
(Zea mays L.) during the initial year of application and two
subsequent years
for four N management systems. The UAN solution was
point-injected in split
applications at rates of 125 or 200 kg N ha-1, or knifed-in or
surface-banded
right after plant emergence at 200 kg N ba-1. For the initial
year of 15N
application, the percent recovery of labeled N (NR) in grain
was 48, 39, 33, and 30% for point-injected (low rate/split),
point-injected (high rate/split), knifed-in, and
surface-banded, respectively. The percentage of total grain N
derived from labeled N (Nf) ranged from 57 to 67% and was in
the order of
point-injected (high rate/split) > knifed-in > point-injected
(low rate/split)
> surface-banded. Residual labeled N recovery in grain ranged
from 2.3 to 4.6%
for the second season and from 0.9 to 1.0% for the third
season with no
significant differences among application treatments for
either season. After
rive seasons the NR values for labeled N determined in the
soil N pool still
ranged from 20 to 26%. UAN solution applied in split
applications with the
point injector was used more efficiently by corn than when
knifed-in or
surface-banded in a single application, indicating the
point-injection/split
application system is an option for improved N management in
no-till corn.

Abstract: The agriculture of the European Community (EC) has
experienced
significant changes in the last decade. From a situation of
deficiency in
agricultural and food production, the twelve-nation community
has shifted to a
situation of food overproduction. This change has also been
characterized by a
rapid decrease in the agricultural labor force and a decrease
of its
importance in the employment structure which has manifested
itself in fewer, more efficient farms. This alteration of
structural conditions has led to the
emergence of a new set of agricultural issues. This article
discusses these
changes by underscoring the decline of agrarian-based issues
and the emergence
of environmental, food, and natural resource-based issues. It
is maintained
that EC agricultural policies have been instrumental in both
the resolution of
agrarian-based issues and in the creation of new problems
embodied in the
environmental, food, and natural resource-based policies. The
combination of
the demise of agrarian-based policies and the emergence of
environmental, food, and natural resource-based policies is
also employed as a theoretical
perspective from which the evolution of the agricultural
sector in the EC can
be interpreted.

Abstract: The electoral success of the Green Party in 1989
suggested
substantial support for pro-environment policies within the
British
population. Ecological analysis of that electoral performance
suggests that
Green support was greatest among the affluent middle class in
the south of
England. Analysis of 1987 electoral survey data, however,
indicates not one
but three separate dimensions to environmental concern within
the country, with clear implications for mobilisation of the
pro-Green electorate.

Abstract: Field research was conducted at Arlington, WI, in
1988 and 1989 to
determine the influence of application time on weed control
and residue
carryover with imazethapyr in no-tillage soybean production.
Imazethapyr at
greater than or equal to 55 g ai ha-1 applied early preplant
controlled > 90%
of the common lambsquarters, velvetleaf, and giant foxtail
before no-tillage
planting of soybean. Early preplant and sequential treatments
with an early
preplant component controlled greater than or equal to 88% of
all weeds for
the entire growing season. Delaying the initial imazethapyr
application until
immediately after soybean planting reduced weed control
compared to the early
preplant treatments. Low level of weed control with planting
time treatments
appeared to be due to a lack of control of common
lambsquarters emerged at the
time of imazethapyr application and dry weather following
imazethapyr
application. No soybean injury from imazethapyr was observed
and differences
in soybean yield appeared to be due to differences in weed
control. No
significant carryover of imazethapyr was detected through a
corn bioassay in
the field.

Abstract: Little is known about the role of K fertilization,
stover
management, and tillage methods on soil K availability as they
affect rice
(Oryza sativa L.) and cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.]
productivity on
Ultisols of the humid tropics. The effects of five K rates
(0-120 kg K ha-1), returning or removing stover, and three
tillage methods (no-till, strip, and
conventional) were evaluated during 12 crops of rice and
cowpea grown for a
4-yr period. Fertilizer K was applied to the first seven
crops. The site was a
recently cleared, 18-yr-old secondary forest in the Peruvian
Amazon Basin. The
soil was a fine-loamy, siliceous, isohyperthermic Typic
Paleudult. Soils
samples were collected at each crop harvest to 90 cm in 15-cm
increments.
Potassium fertilizer always increased grain yields when stover
was removed.
Conversely, responses to K additions were seldom obtained when
the stover was
returned. The extractable K (Modified Olsen) critical level
for both upland
rice and cowpeas was calculated to be 0.10 cmol L-1. Returning
stover with no
K fertilization maintained soil K concentrations above
critical levels for
both species up to the last crop of the rotation. Residual
effects of
fertilizer K were prolonged by returning the stover. When
stover was returned, subsoil exchangeable K increased with
increasing rate of K fertilization.
Removal of stover resulted in greater increases in subsoil
exchangeable K at
the 40 kg K ha-1 rate than at 120 kg K ha-1, apparently
because the higher
rate resulted in K fixation. Tillage methods did not affect
crop yields.

Models; Farmers' attitudes
Abstract: Current debates and conflicts in agriculture appear
to reflect the
competing perspectives of two increasingly distinct camps of
agricultural
stakeholders: proponents of "alternative agriculture" and
proponents of
"conventional agriculture." Several analysts have argued that
members of these
two camps hold fundamentally divergent paradigms of
agriculture, and thus, literally see the world quite
differently. The purpose of this paper is to
describe an instrument-the Alternative-conventional
Agriculture Paradigm Scale
(or ACAP Scale)-developed to measure the basic beliefs and
values assumed to
constitute the two competing perspectives in agriculture.
Items designed to
tap all of the major dimensions identified in the
alternative-conventional
agriculture debate were included in surveys of known groups of
alternative and
conventional agriculturalists, as well as in a statewide
survey of farmers.
The items discriminate significantly between the three samples
(with the
statewide farmer sample taking the intermediate position),
suggesting their
validity as measures of the elements of the competing
agricultural paradigms.
The items also exhibit a high degree of internal consistency,
indicating the
appropriateness of combining them into a single instrument to
measure
adherence to alternative versus conventional agriculture. As
expected, the
known groups provide more consistent responses than do the
statewide sample of
farmers, presumably reflecting the greater ideological
coherence of social
movement and interest group members. However, the alternative
agriculturalists
are far more consistent than are the conventional
agriculturalists, and
potential explanations for this finding are drawn from recent
work on social
movements.

Abstract: This study deals with the agronomic feasibility and
the results of
mechanized ways of management for processing tomato which were
likely to meet
the following main objectives: a) field state suitable to
mechanical harvest, b) satisfying yield (60 to 80 t.ha-1), c)
input reduction. The agronomic
contraints deriving from them and pluridisciplinary scientific
results were
used as a base of reasoning and then of building technical
management
schedules. Most of these contraints have been considered and
integrated into
ways of management of processing tomato crops in large plots
during 3 years
(1985-86-87) on a clay alluvial soil. Management decisions
were taken
according to periodical simple diagnoses based on observing,
counting or
measuring. The main objectives were satisfied namely: 1) a
total mechanization
(except one or two partial hand weedings), with a reduced
number of
operations, 2) reduced fertilization: for P, in a poor soil,
half of the
current supplies and for N about one quarter, 3) reduced plant
protection, including biological means, 4) good field fitness
to mechanical harvest, 5)
annual yields respectively: 78, 75 and 50 t.ha-1. The results
show that it is
possible to produce otherwise and cheaper while reducing
resources wasting and
improving environment safety.

Abstract: Expansion of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
production into
the high winterkill risk regions of the Canadian prairies has
been achieved by
no-till seeding into standing stubble immediately after
harvest of the
previous crop. Seven field trials were conducted in
Saskatchewan to evaluate
the seasonal pattern of dry matter and N accumulation of
no-till winter wheat.
The fertilizer treatments included the currently recommended
early (20 April)
spring broadcast ammonium nitrate (AN) and early spring
broadcast and surface
band applied urea and urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) solution. In
four of the
seven trials, late (12 May) AN and urea were also applied.
Nitrogen fertilizer
was applied at 0, 34, 67, 101, and 202 kg N ha-1. Mean maximum
dry matter and
N yields were established by Zadoks Growth Stage 65 (ZGS65)
and ZGS45, respectively. Subsequent losses of both dry matter
and N were observed under
conditions of high evaporative demand and low precipitation.
When rainfall was
more favorable and N supply abundant, N and dry matter yields
increased
through the growing season to harvest. Increased N rates
increased N uptake
and amplified plant-N and dry matter losses. Growing season
environmental
conditions and plant-available-N levels also played an
important role in
determining the efficiency of N translocation to the seed.
Early broadcast AN
produced larger dry matter and N-yield responses than all
other fertilizer
treatments. While surface band applied urea showed no
advantage over early
broadcast urea, surface band applied UAN increased dry matter
yield and N
uptake over broadcast sprayed UAN. Average dry matter (N)
yield-N response for
early broadcast urea, surface band applied urea and surface
band applied UAN
treatments were 93 (89%) of those recorded for early broadcast
AN. The
broadcast sprayed UAN treatment dry matter and N yield-N
responses were 81% of
early broadcast AN. Compared with early broadcast AN and urea,
late broadcast
AN and urea produced lower dry

Abstract: No-till seeding into standing stubble immediately
after harvest of
the previous crop has permitted the successful production of
winter wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.) on the Canadian prairies. In the
present study, 14
field trials were conducted in Saskatchewan between 1986 and
1988 to evaluate
the influence of the spring broadcast and the surface banded N
fertilizer
forms ammonium nitrate (AN), urea, and urea-ammonium nitrate
(UAN) solution on
grain yield (GY), grain-protein yield (GPY), and grain-protein
concentration
(GP) of no-till winter wheat. In trials with positive N
response, early
broadcast urea, surface dribble-banded UAN, and broadcast
spray UAN produced
GY(GPY) responses that were 90(91), 89(87), and 82(80)%,
respectively, of
those observed for early broadcast AN. Accumulated surface
residues and
delayed early spring (May) rainfall reduced the performance of
UAN when
applied as a broadcast spray. In one trial, the early
stimulation of N uptake
and growth with early AN proved detrimental under high
temperature stress
during stem elongation resulting in negative GY and GPY
responses with
increasing N rate. Delaying broadcast N application by 3 wk
prevented early N
uptake, reducing both GY and GPY and increasing GP. The
results of this study
suggest that the reduction in N recovery from commercial rates
of urea-based
fertilizers, as measured by GPY, can be minimized at uniform
levels by
ensuring early spring application on no-till winter wheat in
western Canada.

Abstract: We present results from a survey of organic grape
operations in the
three most important grape-producing areas in West Germany.
Data on expenses
for fertilizers,pesticides, machinery and buildings, on labor
requirements, on
the quantity and quality of yields, and on marketing channels
and price
premiums are compared to data on conventional grape operations
from
statistical sources. Based on these data, multi-period linear
programming
models were constructed to assess the economic implications of
a transition to
organic grape growing for different types of operations. Model
results
indicate that the grape production quota implemented in West
Germany in
1989-90 favors organic methods. However, with direct marketing
of wine, the
effect of the quota depends on the effect that the expected
rise in the price
of conventional wine has on the price of organic wine. Premium
prices for
organically produced wine currently can be achieved only by
farms that sell
their wine directly to the consumer, which means that direct
marketing is
necessary for a profitable organic grape operation under
current market
conditions.

Abstract: Field research was conducted at Hancock, WI, from
1985 through 1987
to evaluate effects of conventional tillage, chisel plow,
ridge tillage, and
no-tillage systems on population dynamics and control of
annual weed species
in corn grown continuously on a loamy sand soil without
irrigation. In all
years of the study, green foxtail densities were greater in
chisel plow and
no-tillage than in the conventional tillage system, while
ridge tillage had
densities lower than all other tillage systems. Common
lambsquarters density
in the chisel plow system reached nearly 500 plants m-2
compared to less than
75 plants m-2 in the other tillage systems when averaged over
years. Average
redroot pigweed densities in the no-tillage and chisel plow
systems were 307
and 245 plants m-2 compared to less than 25 plants m-2 in the
conventional and
ridge tillage systems. Horseweed was observed only in
no-tillage and ridge
tillage plots. Green foxtail and redroot pigweed were more
difficult to
control in chisel plow and no-tillage than in the conventional
and ridge
tillage systems with several herbicide treatments. Corn yields
were not
affected by tillage systems under weed-free conditions. Corn
yield differences
among tillage systems when the same herbicide treatment was
applied appeared
to be due to differences in weed control.

Abstract: Cresolase and catecholase activities were

four potato (Solanum tuberosum L) varieties (Kufri Chamatkar,
Kufri
Chandramukhi, Kufri Sindhuri and C-2703) fertilised with three
levels (0, 120, 240 kg K2O ha-1) of either muriate or sulphate
of potash. The enzyme
activities were also determined separately in the peel and
flesh tissues of
the tubers of Kufri Chamatkar and C-2703. Differences were
observed in the
activities between varieties, with highest specific activities
in the tubers
of Kufri Chamatkar. Peels of both the varieties showed higher
cresolase and
catecholase activities than the flesh tissue. Application of
potassic
fertilisers caused a reduction in activities was caused by
application of
muriate of potash than with the sulphate form.

Abstract: Leguminous cover crops can provide biologically
fixed N to a
subsequent corn (Zea mays L.) crop as well as erosion control
and moisture
conserving mulch, but establishment is costly and often
unsuccessful. A field
experiment was conducted for 3 yr to determine the
self-reseeding potential of
crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) and its N
contribution in a
no-tillage corn production system. Four cover crop management
treatments
(fallow, annual-seeded, volunteer-reseeded, and volunteer
strip-reseeded) were
combined factorially with four fertilizer-N rates (0, 50, 100,
or 150 kg ha-1)
applied to the subsequent corn crop. The annual-seeded,
volunteer-reseeded, and volunteer strip-reseeded clover
treatments were desiccated at corn
planting. Averaged over 3 yr, crimson clover dry matter was
2.6, 4.2, and 3.5
Mg ha-1 for the annual-seeded, volunteer-reseeded, and
strip-reseeded
treatments, respectively. In 1988 and 1989, cover crop
treatments produced
mean corn grain yields of 6.0 and 6.1 Mg ha-1 compared to
fallow treatment
yields of 3.4 and 4.0 Mg ha-1, respectively. This same pattern
was reflected
in the silage yields and total corn N uptake. Corn grain
yields were
unaffected by fertilizer-N rate in two out of 3 yr due to
limited rainfall.
Both self-reseeding treatments successfully reestablished each
year and
increased corn yields primarily by a mulching effect. Allowing
crimson clover
to mature before chemical desiccation or leaving strips
between corn rows to
produce seed appear to be effective methods of reseeding
clover in a
no-tillage corn silage production system.

Abstract: As a result of environmental and agrarian activism
and of academic
critique, a substantial amount of space is available now for
moving
agricultural technoscience onto new trajectories. A critical
rural sociology
has played a key role in pushing forward the deconstructive
project that has
been instrumental in creating this space. And rural
sociologists can be active
agents in the reconstruction of the alternative science that
must emerge from
"actually existing" science and that must be developed if
there is to be a
truly alternative agriculture. But to be effective in this
effort we need to
enlarge not only the canon of our colleagues in the natural
sciences, but our
own canon as well. This article suggests that the theoretical
resources for
such reconstruction are available in contemporary sociological
and feminist
interpretations of science. Material resources for the
reconstruction of a
"successor science" are to be found in the "local knowledge"
that is
continually produced and reproduced by farmers and
agricultural workers.
Articulations and complementarities between theoretical
resources are
suggested and potentially productive research areas are
outlined.

Abstract: Field studies were conducted to evaluate the
influence of herbicide
application timing on weed control in no-till soybean
production. Row spacing
generally had no effect on weed control. Herbicide treatments
containing
chlorimuron plus metribuzin applied as many as 45 days prior
to planting in
1988 and 1989 controlled broadleaf weeds throughout the
growing season.
Imazaquin applied 45 and 30 days prior to planting provided
poor control of
common cocklebur in 1989. Giant foxtail control was
inconsistent with all
herbicide treatments. Soybean yields subsequent to early
preplant herbicide
applications were greater than or equal to those in which
applications were
made at planting when late-season weed control was adequate.
Herbicides
applied preemergence did not control high densities of common
lambsquarters in
1989.

Abstract: Bioavailable P (BAP) in agricultural runoff
represents P
potentially available for algal uptake and consists of soluble
P (SP) and a
variable portion of particulate P (PP). Evaluation of the
impact of
agricultural management on BAP in runoff will aid assessment
of the resultant
biological productivity of receiving water bodies. Soluble P,
PP, and
bioavailable PP (BPP) (estimated by NaOH extraction) were
determined over a
5-yr period in runoff from 20 unfertilized and fertilized,
grassed, and
cropped watersheds in the Southern Plains. Soluble P, BPP, and
BAP loss in
runoff was reduced by practices minimizing erosion and runoff,
with respective
mean annual amounts ranging from 237 to 122, 1559 to 54, and
1796 to 176 g P
ha-1 yr-1 (for peanut-sorghum [Arachis hypogaea L.-Sorghum
bicolor (L.)
Moench] and native grass watersheds, respectively). However,
as vegetative
cover improved, BAP (SP plus BPP) comprised a larger portion
of total P (TP)
loss (29% for peanut-sorghum and 88% for native grass). This
results from an
increasing contribution to BAP of SP (13% for peanut-sorghum
and 69% for
native grass watersheds) and BPP to PP (26% for peanut-sorghum
and 69% for
native grass watersheds). Clearly, P bioavailability is a
dynamic function of
physiochemical processes controlling erosion, particle size
enrichment, P
desorption-dissolution reactions, and plant residue breakdown,
in addition to
soil and fertilizer P management. Hence, the change in trophic
state of a
water body may not be adequately reflected by TP inputs only.
To more reliably
evaluate the biological response of a water body to
agricultural P inputs, particularly from conservation tillage
practices, it may be necessary to
determine BAP in runoff.

Abstract: Model development for predicting the movement of
foliar-applied
pesticides depends on being able to characterize the dynamics
of pesticide
disappearance from plants, including washoff by rainfall. This
study was
conducted to determine the effect of elapsed time between
spray application
and initial rainfall on pesticide washoff from foliage. Methyl
parathion [0, 0-dimethyl,0-(p-nitrophenyl) phosphorothioate]
and fenvalerate
[(RS)-alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl
(RS)-2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-3-methylbutyrate]
were applied in oil by rotary-atomizer controlled-droplet
applicators to
mature cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) plants. Simulated
rainfall (51 mm in 1
h) was applied to the plants at different times after
insecticide application
to determine washoff characteristics for both compounds.
Residues of both
insecticides became increasingly resistant to washoff with
increasing time
interval between pesticide application and initial rainfall.
The mean amounts
of both insecticides washed from the plants (i) were related
to the square of
the mean insecticide loads on the plants and (ii) decreased
exponentially with
time.

Abstract: The adoption of no-tillage systems in the Pacific
Northwest will
benefit from the development of crop rotations that complement
winter wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.). Experiments were conducted during
1986-1987 and
1988-1989 to determine the effects of wheat residue and
fertility management
on the growth, winter survival, and yield of 'Glacier'
Austrian winter pea
(Pisum sativum subsp. arvense L.) and winter lentil (Lens
colinaris Medik.).
No-tillage (NT) and no-tillage with reduced stubble (NT-SR)
enhanced soil
moisture conservation and increased the early growth of
Austrian winter pea
(AWP), compared with conventional tillage (CT). Decreased
shoot mass of winter
lentil (WL) in NT, and elongated stems and reduced branching
of AWP and WL in
NT, were attributed to shading by stubble that reduced
photosynthetically
active radiation and red/far-red ratios. Winter survival of
AWP during
1986-1987 was reduced in NT (78%), compared with NT-SR (91%)
and CT (96%), but
no differences occurred in 1988-1989. Less aboveground tissue
necrosis of
surviving AWP occurred in NT than in NT-SR and CT for both
years. Greater
average yields in NT (3568 kg ha-1) and NT-SR (3530 kg ha-1)
than in CT (2700
kg ha-1) were correlated with greater fall growth and less
winter injury.
Residue management did not influence the yield of WL. Applied
P and K did not
have consistent effects on winter survival or yield. These
results indicate
that winter grain legumes can be used to complement wheat
production in the
design of no-tillage rotations.

Abstract: Wheat planted directly into soil mulched with straw
of a previous
wheat crop (mulch or conservation tillage) typically grows and
yields poorly
relative to that planted into a prepared seedbed with straw
residue burned or
buried (clean tillage). This injurious effect associated with
straw mulches
has been greatest in the higher-rainfall wheat-growing areas,
or in wet years
in normally dry areas. Researchers have focused for the past
30 yr on putative
phytotoxins thought to be liberated during microbial
colonization or breakdown
of the straw on or near the soil surface when wet. The results
of experiments
reported herein indicate that the causal microorganisms are in
the soil and
not the straw as would be required if phytotoxic straw
decomposition products
were important. The injury in these experiments resulted from
at least three
root diseases, all favored by the lack of crop rotation. The
three root
diseases were take-all caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis var.
tritici, Rhizoctonia root rot caused mainly by Rhizoctonia
solani AG8, and Pythium root
rot caused by several Pythium spp. The effect of straw on, or
mulched into, the soil surface possibly amounts to no more
than helping to keep the top
10-15 cm of soil, the zone occupied by the root pathogens,
more ideally moist
for their activity. The results suggest that conservation
tillage is feasible
for wheat in the higher rainfall areas when used in
combination with a break
from wheat.
