Course Overview
Nutrient Budgeting
'Nutrient Management for Vegetable Crops in New Zealand' uses Available N (Potentially Available N) to determine crop nitrogen requirements.

True
False
In order to raise Olsen P one unit (i.e., from 25 to 26), on average how much additional phosphorus is required per hectare for a sedimentary soil?
*
5kg P/ha
10kg P/ha
25kg P/ha
What information is required in order to create a pre-planting nutrient budget for nitrogen?
*
Soil nitrogen (kg N/ha)
Residue nitrogen (kg N/ha)
Expected yield (T/ha)
Planned fertiliser N application (kg N/ha)
Olsen P (ug/mL)
What information is required in order to create a post-harvest nutrient budget for nitrogen?
*
Actual yield (T/ha)
% N in yield
Residue nitrogen at harvest (kg N/ha)
Soil nitrogen at harvest (kg N/ha)
Actual fertiliser applied
Previous crop residue nitrogen (kg N/ha)
Soil nitrogen at planting (kg N/ha)
What information is required to create a phosphorus budget?
*
Soil Olsen P
Expected yield (T/ha)
Estimated phosphorus required (kg P/ha) from 'Nutrient Management for Vegetable Crops in NZ'
Planned fertiliser P applied (kg P/ha)
Soil Total P
% P in crop exported/removed
Using the 'Nutrient Management for Vegetable Crops in NZ' book, how much nitrogen would be required to grow 120 T/ha tomato crop if the Potentially Available Nitrogen is 60kg N/ha?
*
50kg N/ha
70kg N/ha
20kg N/ha
0kg N/ha
Using the 'Nutrient Management for Vegetable Crops in NZ' book, how much phosphorus would be required to grow 120 T/ha tomato crop if the Soil Olsen P is 35ug/mL?
*
190kg P/ha
90kg P/ha
20kg P/ha
0kg P/ha
In the example of growing a tomato crop, what are some of the impacts of applying too much nitrogen?
*
Decreased fruit yield
Increased fruit yield
Prolonged flowering (more young fruit)
Better crop maturity
