McKendry, Sweets, Wright, Tague, Salzman, Mattas

Agronomic Practices
-------------------
Basic agronomic practices are given in Table 4 by location. Nitrogen 
was applied in split fall/spring applications.  Spring nitrogen 
applications were generally made at or shortly after initial green-up 
(Feeke's GS 6). Preplant phosphorous and potassium applications were 
based on soil test recommendations provided by the University of 
Missouri's Soil Testing Laboratory located at Columbia or by a similar 
private soil testing facility.
