 Better Crops with Plant Food Better Crops with Plant Food Issue No. 1 of 2010 Now Available Online The current issue of Better Crops with Plant Food (No. 1 of 2010) contains an array of topics related to plant nutrition around the world. Economic and environmental implications of sensor-based nitrogen management are considered for corn production in North America. An article from Argentina describes a case study highlighting the benefits of long-term on-farm demonstrations in the Central Pampas. Two articles from China are included, one on balanced fertilization for ginger production and the other on optimal fertilization for the no-till rice-wheat cropping system. Impact of potassium nutrition on food quality of fruits and vegetables is considered in a condensed literature review, while visual indicators of potassium deficiency in corn are discussed in a separate article. A report from India outlines advantages of the the soil system-based approach for fish pond fertilization in that region. From Ecuador, there is a report highlighting liming effect on pineapple yield and soil properties in volcanic soils. Winning images from the 2009 IPNI nutrient deficiency photo contest are featured along with background information on the top entries. Two new videos from IPNI are highlighted. They are titled "The Right Way to Grow...4R Nutrient Stewardship" and "The Right Way to Grow Wheat...4R Nutrient Stewardship." The issue closes with a back cover commentary titled "Precision Technology for Right Nutrient Management."
