Determining total fertility in strip-tilled fields
Band fertilizer placement may cause non-uniform distribution in the soil. Why does this matter? View More (2012-04-13)
Fertilizer use not always helpful in revegetation efforts
Companies and communities trying to restore vegetation on damaged northern landscapes should think twice about using fertilizer to stimulate growth according to new research published in the November issue of Arctic, Antarctic and Alpine Research. View More (2009-12-18)
Sustainable fertilizer: Urine and wood ash produce large harvest
Results of the first study evaluating the use of human urine mixed with wood ash as a fertilizer for food crops has found that the combination can be substituted for costly synthetic fertilizers to produce bumper crops of tomatoes without introducing any risk of disease for consumers.

New fertilizer SRM can help control heavy metal content
A new reference material developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can help the agriculture industry and state regulators monitor the concentrations of several potentially hazardous heavy metal contaminants in fertilizers. View More (2006-10-13)
High nitrogen fertilizers tested on post-transplant ornamentals
The nutrition and fertilization needs of container-grown ornamental plants during production are well-documented, but there is limited research about the plants' fertilizer requirements following transplantation into landscapes. View More (2011-01-03)
Improving Swine Waste Fertilizer
Swine production generates large amounts of waste. While this waste contains nutrients that may serve as fertilizer when applied to agricultural fields, the ratio of nutrients in the waste is different than what a crop requires. View More (2008-07-09)
Nitrogen Applied
Combating soil erosion is a primary concern for agricultural producers in the United States, and many have incorporated conservation tillage systems in their effort to maintain a profitable crop output. View More (2008-10-02)
Ingredient in diarrhea medicine leads to sustainable new farm fertilizer
The search for a sustainable slow-release fertilizer - a key to sustaining global food production at a time of burgeoning population growth - has led scientists to an ingredient used in some diarrhea medicines. View More (2012-11-15)
Fertilizers help Zimbabwean farmers to increase crop yields
A little bit of manure and fertilizer can considerably improve the perspectives of Zimbabwean smallholder farmers in semi-arid regions. Nitrogen availability was found to be the factor that most limited farmers' efforts to increase cereal yields. Dutch-sponsored researcher Bongani Ncube demonstrated this after four years of research on smallholder farms of her home country. View More (2007-04-16)
Used coffee grounds are a rich source of healthful antioxidants
To plant food, insect repellant and other homespun uses for spent coffee grounds, scientists are adding an application that could make the gunk left over from brewing coffee a valuable resource for production of dietary supplements. View More (2013-01-10)
Switchgrass lessens soil nitrate loss into waterways, ISU researcher says
By planting switchgrass and using certain agronomic practices, farmers can significantly reduce the amount of nitrogen and nitrates that leach into the soil, according to Iowa State University research. View More (2010-08-11)
Strip-till improves soybean yield
Crop yield can be improved by ensuring adequate nutrient availability. But how should you place the fertilizer and what cropping system gives the best yields? View More (2012-04-13)
Researchers study value of chicken litter in cotton production
Chicken litter is much more valuable as a fertilizer than previously thought, according to an Agricultural Research Service (ARS) study showing its newfound advantages over conventional fertilizers. View More (2010-06-24)
Preventing Soil Erosion in Continuous Corn
With recent increase in the cost of energy and subsequent explorations into alternative energy sources, the increased harvest of corn residue for cellulosic ethanol production is likely in the future. View More (2009-01-13)
Put more nitrogen into milk, not manure
The more efficient dairy farmers are in managing nitrogen, the more milk their cows will produce and the less nitrogen will be wasted in manure and urine, according a study by Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists and cooperators. View More (2010-06-01)
Greenhouse Gas Calculator Connects Farming Practices with Carbon Credits
Greenhouse gas markets, where invisible gases are traded, must seem like black boxes to most people. Farmers can make money on these markets, such as the Chicago Climate Exchange, by installing methane capture technologies in animal-based systems, no-till farming, establishing grasslands, and planting trees.

Shrubby crops can help fuel Africa's green revolution
Crop diversification with shrubby legumes mixed with soybean and peanuts could be the key to sustaining the green revolution in Africa, according to a Michigan State University study. View More (2010-11-24)
Analyzing long-term impacts of biofuel on the land
The growing development and implementation of renewable biofuel energy has considerable advantages over using declining supplies of fossil fuels. View More (2011-02-04)
MU Scientists Find New Farming Method to Reduce Greenhouse Gases, Increase Farm Yields
U.S. agricultural practices create 58 percent of nitrous oxide in the world, which is the third most prevalent greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. View More (2011-01-14)
Brewing a blast-less fertilizer
Down in the green, rolling hills and farmlands around Lexington, Kentucky, Darrell Taulbee can be found mixing up a batch of his homegrown fertilizer. But he's not looking to grow a better Big Boy or distill a smoother bourbon, he tells us. View More (2007-09-06)
