Question 1
Which element of the 4R Nutrient Stewardship framework addresses applying fertilizer where crop roots can best access it while minimizing environmental loss?
Correct Answer:
Right Place
Question 2
A Mehlich-3 soil test returns 18 ppm P on a silt loam with a target of 25 ppm for corn. If plow-layer bulk density is 1.3 g/cm3 to 6 inches, approximately how many lb P2O5/acre are needed just to build the soil test by 7 ppm (using the common rule of ~9 lb P2O5 per 1 ppm build)?
Correct Answer:
90 lb P2O5/acre (approximately)
Question 3
Which nitrogen source carries the highest risk of ammonia volatilization when surface-applied to a warm, moist, high-pH soil with crop residue?
Correct Answer:
Urea without a urease inhibitor
Question 4
What is the primary agronomic reason to split-apply nitrogen on corn rather than apply the full rate pre-plant?
Correct Answer:
To synchronize N availability with peak crop demand and reduce leaching/denitrification losses
Question 5
A tissue test from V6 corn shows K at 1.4% (sufficient range 1.7-2.5%) on a CEC 15 cmol/kg silt loam with K soil test 140 ppm. Which management decision is most defensible?
Correct Answer:
Investigate root restriction, compaction, and dry topsoil before fertilizing - soil test is adequate and K uptake is diffusion-limited
