The effect of tillage and added nitrogen fertilizer on first- and second-year corn after an established alfalfa stand was investigated in field studies near Woodstock, Ontario, Five rates of nitrogen fertilizer, ranging from 0 to 160 kg ha−1, were evaluated to determine their influence on corn growth and yield in both no-till and conventional tillage systems in the first and second years of corn following alfalfa. In the first year of corn after alfalfa, grain yield and harvest index were significantly lower with no-till than with conventional tillage only in 1988. First-year grain yields were independent of nitrogen fertilizer rates in both 1988 and 1989. There was no tillage by nitrogen rate interaction in either year indicating that additional nitrogen fertilizer was not required to achieve optimum corn yields with no-till relative to conventional tillage. Yields of second-year corn increased with nitrogen rate in both 1989 and 1990. Tillage systems had no apparent influence on nitrogen availability to corn grown after an established alfalfa stand.

SUMMARYExperiments started in 1976, 1977 and 1978 on Clay-with-Flints soil at Rothamsted tested the effects of combinations of eight two-level factors on spring-sown field beans. Factors tested, presence v. absence, were irrigation, nitrogen fertilizer, aldicarb, fonofos (dieldrin in 1976), benomyl to the seed bed, permethrin (fenitrothion in 1976), pirimicarb, benomyl foliar spray (not tested in 1976).The main pests and diseases present were nematodes of the genus Pratylenchus, the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum, the pea and bean weevil Sitona lineatus, root blackening associated with the fungal genera Pythium and Fusarium, the foliar diseases chocolate spot, Botrytis spp., rust, Uromyces fabae and bean leaf roll virus.Incidence of these pests and diseases varied between years. Controlling those present increased yield by about 0·7 t grain/ha each year. The difficulty of apportioning this increase to particular pests and diseases is discussed.Irrigation increased total dry-matter production and grain yield in 1976 and 1978 but only total dry-matter production in 1977, when grain yield was lost because of lodging. Nitrogen fertilizer had little or no effect.The most favourable combinations of treatments gave yields of 3·4, 5·0 and 6·4 t grain/ha in the 3 years respectively. Small yields in 1976, despite irrigation, were attributed to premature senescence caused by exceptionally high temperatures. It is suggested that with good control of pests and diseases yields of at least 5 t/ha should be attainable on Clay-with-Flints soil without irrigation in years of average temperature and rainfall and yields in excess of 6 t/ha when the soil-moisture deficit is lessened by either above-average rainfall or irrigation.Treatments applied to the beans had little or no effect on two following crops of winter wheat.

Norstar winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was examined in 11 trials with the objective of determining the pattern of dry matter and nitrogen (N) accumulation in dryland stubbled-in winter wheat grown in Saskatchewan. In all 4 yr of this study, replicated no-till field trials were supplemented with 0, 34, 67 and 100 kg N ha−1 applied as ammonium nitrate (34-0-0) in early spring. A fifth treatment of 200 kg N ha−1 was evaluated in the final year of trials. Plant samples were collected at 2-wk intervals. Early season N uptake was more rapid than dry matter accumulation and 89% of the total N, compared to 70% of the total dry matter, was present at anthesis (Zadoks growth stages 60–68). Poor soil moisture availability limited N uptake after anthesis. Consequently, N uptake during the growing season was best described by a quadratic equation, Nitrogen yield = −29.1 + 3.02 Z − 0.018 Z2, where Z represents the Zadoks growth stage. Nitrogen concentrations of the stems and leaves decreased during the growing season while the N concentration of spikes varied among trials. Nitrogen fertilization often produced large increases in tissue N concentration at the beginning of the growing season. These differences decreased with time and by the end of the season tissue N concentrations were usually similar for all N rates. In general, when residual soil N levels were low to intermediate and rainfall was adequate, N fertilization increased dry matter yield, plant N yield, grain yield and grain protein yield. Nitrogen fertilization increased plant N concentration, plant N yield, grain protein concentration and grain protein yield when soil N reserves were intermediate to high and rainfall was adequate.Key words: Nitrogen uptake, wheat (winter), nitrogen response, tissue nitrogen, grain protein, environment

SummaryFrom 1980 to 1982 fungicide and aphioide sprays were tested in factorial combination with four amounts of nitrogen fertilizer, applied in one or two dressings to winter wheat, on three contrasting clay soils. These experiments were at Hexton (Burwell series) in Hertfordshire, at Billington (Evesham series) and at Maulden (Hanslope series) in Bedfordshire, following a 2–year break, an all-cereal rotation, and continuous wheat respectively. The nitrogen dressings were calculated after taking into account mineral N in the soil. In 1981 and 1982 soil density was measured by penetrometer. This showed compaction in soil at Maulden 28 cm deep which caused waterlogging in spring; this delayed growth which was not made good later.At Hexton a small seed rate was used; plant losses during winter were proportionally larger than elsewhere. At Billington, the maximum number of stems occurred in March and elsewhere in April. Despite these differences in seed rate and number of plants, number of ears varied little, and each year the wheat at Hexton accumulated dry matter most rapidly. The growth rate there ranged from 20·0 to 21·8 g/m2/day during the linear growth phase as compared with 14·4 to 16·6 g/m2/day at the other two sites. Giving N in two dressings rather than in one increased dry-matter yield at all sites in May, but later this benefit remained static and so became a smaller proportion of the total. Fungicides increased post-anthesis dry-matter yield by 0·75 t/ha, most of which was incorporated in the grain.Mean grain yields from 1980 to 1982 where nitrogen fertilizer was given were 9·86 t/ha at Hexton, 7·88 t/ha at Billington and 6–91 t/ha at Maulden. Additional nitrogen fertilizer always increased grain yield when fungicides and aphicides were given, but not where they were not. Grain yields in excess of 10 t/ha were achieved with numbers of ears ranging between 360 and 435/m2. The components of yield showed that grain yield was related to the number of grains per ear and 1000·grain weight, but not number of ears. Grain weight was increased by 3·1 mg by the fungicides.The fungicides controlled the diseases eyespot (Pseudocercosporella herpolrichoides), Septoria spp. and yellow and brown rust (Pucdnia striiformis and P. recondita) where they occurred, but even where these diseases were absent or at very low levels the fungicides significantly increased grain yield. At Billington and Maulden take-all (Qaeumannomyces graminis) infected between 44 and 90% of the plants and sharp eyespot (Rhizoctonia cerealis) infected from < 1 to 20% of the stems because the wheat followed cereals. Yields of straw behind the combine-harvester were from 50 to 70% of those obtained from sheaves cut at ground level.

The influence of crop water environment on the productivity of no-till winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. ’Norstar’) was observed for 17 site-years of trials in Saskatchewan between 1984 and 1986. Growing season precipitation (P) averaged 212 mm (approximately 120% of average) and pan evaporation (E) averaged 749 mm for these trials. Precipitation was approximately evenly distributed across the growing season while E increased from a low of 6.5 mm d−1 in early May to a high of 8.3 mm d−1 immediately after anthesis. Consequently, water stress was highest after anthesis. Total evapotranspiration (ET) (soil water use to 130 cm plus growing season P) ranged from 171 to 364 mm and approximately 20% of the ET was derived from soil water reserves. The average ratio of ET before and after anthesis was 1:7:1 and in many instances water utilized after anthesis was almost exclusively derived from intermittent rainfall events. Several yield-water models were fit to the data in order to establish a relationship between the crop water environment and grain yield. Yields ranged from 1316 to 5003 kg ha−1 and were most closely associated with the water environment (soil water, E and P) during the time from stem elongation to anthesis (r2 = 0.71). Water use efficiency, expressed as kg ha−1 grain yield divided by ET, ranged from 6.3 to 18.8 kg ha−1 mm−1 and was positively correlated with spikes m−2 (r = 0.59*), kernel weight (r = 0.73**), dry matter at anthesis (r = 0.84**), and negatively correlated with E during the 30 days prior to anthesis (r = 0.75**). Both dry matter at anthesis and dry matter at maturity were linearly correlated with grain yield (r = 0.85** and 0.92**, respectively). Both observations suggested that high grain yields required high dry matter yields.Key words: Wheat (winter), precipitation, evaporation, soil water, water use efficiency, models
