Data

Conventional corn (CS1) and corn-soybean (CS2) systems receive mineral fertilizer at recommended rates. The organically managed three-year corn-soybean-wheat/clover (CS3) system is fertilized from a combination of  biologically fixed N, composted  poultry manure, and potassium sulfate. The four-year dairy systems (CS4) is fertilized by dairy manure and potassium chloride with lime additions to correct pH as needed. The organic 3-year dairy forage system (CS5) is fertilized by dairy manure and potassium sulfate with lime addition to correct pH as needed. The rotationally grazed pasture system (CS6) is fertilized primarily by grazing livestock as well as potassium chloride as needed based on soil tests.
