Nitrogen use with integrating cereal rye production into a soybean-corn systemJohn Sawyer, professor and extension soil fertility specialist, Agronomy, Iowa State University, Ames, IADiverse cropping systems are important for high crop yields and reducing impacts on water quality. Cereal rye as acover crop is an important in-field practice for reducing nitrate loss to surface water systems. When implemented onmany acres in Iowa, rye seed demand could result in a viable alternative cash grain crop within the soybean-cornsystem. As rye is a cereal crop, understanding nitrogen input and response will be necessary for optimal ryeproductivity, as well as rye impacts to corn in the rotation.CCA credit: 1 NM

Electrocuting weeds and grinding up weed seeds: Insight into some non-conventional weedmanagement tools for use in our conventionally minded agricultural systemsKevin Bradley, professor, Plant Sciences and state extension weed specialist, University of Missouri, Columbia, MOAlbert Einstein said that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is the definition ofinsanity. Throughout my entire career, I have watched waterhemp develop resistance to each and every “next bestsolution” herbicide that has come onto the market, and the result is that we now have very few viable herbicide optionsleft for the control of this species. No doubt the future of waterhemp management will still involve herbicides, but it’sclear we need a new approach. In this presentation, we will discuss our impressions of two “new” technologies that wehave evaluated over the past several seasons; the Seed Terminator and the Weed Zapper. Both of these implements aredesigned to prevent waterhemp seed from ever returning to the soil. Currently, adoption rates of both of theseimplements are essentially zero in conventional U.S. agriculture, but you might find these non-conventional weedmanagement tools worth a second look.CCA credit: 1 PM
