Objectives

      1. To determine the effect of soil moisture on barley response to N and P fertilization applied in different rate combinations and using different fertilizer placements.
      2. To develop fertilizer N - water production functions for barley.
      3. To determine if growth regulators, and other intensive crop management practices are needed for maximum production under adequate soil moisture and high N fertility conditions.
      4. To initiate a yield goal of 130 bu/a under adequate soil moisture conditions.
      5. To develop efficient fertilizer management practices for barley which can be applied to a wide range of climatic conditions.
