Nitrogen Management in Sweet Corn and Effect of Cover Crops on Leaching of Nitrate

Objectives for 2000:

  • To evaluate the N uptake efficiency of sweet corn varieties.
  • To evaluate the effects of several fall-seeded and overseeded (relay interplanted) triticale, fall-seeded triticale plus common vetch, and overseeded red clover, on yield of sweet corn fertilized at three rates of N. The cover crops follow snap beans with three rates of N.
  • To evaluate the effect of the cover crops and the N applied to the sweet corn on the amount of nitrate leached below the root zone.
