University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Regional Experiences With The Illinois Amino Sugar N Test Larry G. Bundy and Jeffery T. Osterhaus University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, Wisconsin

Basis for the Illinois Soil N Test Amino sugar-N fraction related to corn N response (Mulvaney et al. 2001) –Requires acid hydrolysis of soil N to measure amino sugar N fraction Illinois soil N test (ISNT) proposed (Khan et al. 2001) –Measures amino sugar-N plus other soil N components –Related to amino sugar –N fraction –Related to corn N response

University of Illinois results for relationship of amino sugar-N and N-fertilizer response Mulvaney et al., 2001

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Background of the Illinois soil nitrogen test Khan et al., 2001

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Background of the Illinois soil nitrogen test Developed in the late 1990’s by University of Illinois researchers Low temperature, alkaline digestion Diffusion of NH 3 from alkaline digestion Titration or colorimetric determination of NH 3 -N sorbed by acid solution

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Background of the Illinois soil nitrogen test Results showed a relationship between soil amino sugar-N and N-fertilizer response Strong correlation of ISNT values to soil amino sugar-N values Identified an ISNT critical value of 225 ppm, above which no response to N fertilizer was observed

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Wisconsin ISNT Experiments 80 experiments Multiple soils Multiple cropping systems Variety of management practices Wide range of N-response

Iowa ISNT Evaluation Sites   18 Replicated N Rate Sites  Research Farm and Producer Fields  Corn-Soybean Rotation   43 Replicated N Rate Sites  Soil Nitrogen and Carbon Management Project  Producers Fields  Corn-Soybean Rotation  First-Year of N Rate Application

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Relationship of ISNT values to economic optimum N rates in Wisconsin Poor relationship of ISNT values to economic optimum N rates (EONR) over a wide range of: –growing seasons –crop rotations –management histories Experimental sites had a wide range of anticipated and observed N response

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Results with the Illinois soil nitrogen test in Wisconsin Critical value of 225 mg kg -1 did not separate responsive from non-responsive sites

J.E. Sawyer, Iowa State Univ., 2003

Results with the ISNT- Michigan C.A.M. Laboski, Mich. St. Univ.

Results of the ISNT - Wisconsin No significant difference between crop rotations where a large difference in N response was observed Crop rotationEONRISNT (0-15 cm sample depth) ----kg ha mg kg Corn/corn Alfalfa/corn0179 Alfalfa/corn/corn69193 Soybean/corn136192

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Relationship of ISNT to soil organic matter - Wisconsin Strong correlation of ISNT values to soil organic matter (OM) shows that the ISNT is probably measuring a constant fraction of soil organic N rather than a readily mineralizable N pool

J.E. Sawyer, Iowa State Univ., 2003

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Hydrolyzable N fractionation Hydrolyzable organic N fractions –Total hydrolyzable N –Hydrolyzable ammonium (NH 4 -N) –(Amino sugar + NH 4 -N)-N –Amino sugar-N –Amino acid-N –Unidentifiable hydrolyzable-N

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Hydrolyzable N fractions (experiments used) 13 experiments Multiple crop rotations –Continuous corn –Soybean/corn –Alfalfa/corn –Alfalfa/corn/corn Multiple years: 1998, 2001, 2003, 2004

Hydrolyzable N Fractionation Acid digestion –6 M HCl –12-hour digestion Sample neutralization Diffusion or steam distillation of hydrolyzable N fractions

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Results of soil hydrolysate analysis Weak correlation of all fractions to N-fertilizer response Amino sugar-N had a poor relationship to N- fertilizer response

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Relationships between soil organic N fractions and corn response to N fertilization† N-Fraction r 2 p > f ‡ Total hydrolyzable N NH 4 -N NH 4 +Amino sugar-N Amino sugar-N Amino acid-N † Corn response to N fertilization is defined as: 100 x [(maximum yield – control yield) / control yield]; where maximum yield occurs with a non-limiting N fertilizer rate. ‡ p > f = probability that tabular f ratio exceeds f ratio calculated by analysis of variance.

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Relationship of amino sugar-N to relative yield

J.E. Sawyer, Iowa State Univ., 2003

University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science 2006 Conclusions - Wisconsin ISNT does not correlate with EONR ISNT does correlate strongly with OM Amino sugar-N does not correlate with N- fertilizer response Other hydrolyzable-N fractions do not correlate with N-fertilizer response ISNT is not a practical tool for use in Wisconsin corn production

Experience in Iowa  Illinois N Soil Test (routine test) has not been predictive of corn response to applied N  Hydrolyzable amino sugar-N basis also not well correlated to N response  At this time the Illinois N Soil Test is not recommended for adjusting corn N fertilization on Iowa soils J.E. Sawyer, Iowa State Univ., 2003
