Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical background of nitrate production in Illinoisâ fields and examines the different factors that influence it, such as soil treatment, tillage operations, climatic conditions, temperature, moisture, and aeration. Nitrate production is a fundamental element of plant nutrition and is a critical determinant of crop yields, particularly for non-leguminous plants like corn, oats, and wheat which rely solely on nitrates for nitrogen. The author delves into the relationship between soil treatment, particularly the use of organic matter, limestone, and phosphorus, and nitrate production. The efficacy of different tillage practices such as plowing, cultivating, mulching, and fallowing is also investigated, revealing their varying effects on nitrate production and soil fertility. Furthermore, the book analyzes the seasonal patterns of nitrate production, identifying periods of peak production and outlining the role of climatic factors in shaping these patterns. By understanding the factors that influence nitrate production, farmers can optimize their soil management strategies and increase crop yields while conserving natural resources and minimizing environmental impact.
