Organic Fertility Recommendations
Little information exists on fertility recommendations for organic production. This ongoing project, involving the Soil Health Program Work Team, examines organic fertilizer applications on crop response, pollution risk, and soil health. T. Bjorkman, tnb1@cornell.edu, (315) 787-2216
Nutrient Budgets: A Tool for Soil Fertility Management
A database- driven tool help farmers assess quantity of nutrients leaving the farm in crop material, to guide fertility applications and prevent compost-based nutrient loading. L Drinkwater, led24@cornell.edu, 607-255-9408
Microbial Seed Treatments for Organic Field Corn
A test of the effectiveness of four microbial seed treatments, and one compost inoculant on corn germination in cold spring soils. A one-year study, this trial showed no effect of treatments, but it was a warm spring, and stand establishment was good in all treatments. A Rangarajan, ar47@cornell.edu 607-255-1780
Food grade soybean varieties and row spacing
This trial examined variety performance under organic management, and influence of row spacing on weed control. A tradeoff between protein content and yield was noted, and weed suppression was better with 7" spacing than with 30" spacing. M Davis, mhd11@cornell.edu, 518-963-7492
Supporting Organic Seed Corn Production in NY
Evaluations of several hybrid and inbred lines of public corn varieties for performance under organic seed corn production methods, and introduction of color-based traits to prevent contamination of organic seed with genetically modified genes. M. Smith mes25@cornell.edu, 607-254-8356.
Comparison of 2 Five-Year Grain and Forage Rotations
The wheat rotation is spring wheat-winter wheat- 3 yrs tim/alf hay, with poultry compost applied at 3t/ac before winter wheat. This system is compared with food-grade soy-sweet corn- 3yrs tim/alf hay. M Davis mhd11@cornell.edu 518-963-7492
Open-Pollinated Field Corn Varieties for the Northeast
Characterization and evaluation of multiple OP corn varieties for grain and silage that are commercially available, plus some non-commercial ones.M Smith mes25@cornell.edu 607-254-8356
Identifying Hybrid Corn Adapted to Organic Production
Evaluating performance of experimental hybrids from public inbred parents under organic management. M Smith mes25@cornell.edu 607-254-8356
