Key Topics
Impact Category Portfolio
Explicit NCB tags are used first; keyword matching fills gaps when tags are missing.
Nutrient Management
Nitrogen, fertilizer efficiency, nutrient use, runoff, sidedress, and variable-rate application.
Production Efficiency
Yield, profitability, input efficiency, irrigation scheduling, precision agriculture, and field operations.
Water & Soil Stewardship
Groundwater, surface water, soil health, carbon, resilience, conservation, and sustainability outcomes.
Portfolio gaps
Categories with no matched papers yet. These are useful prompts for future tagging, curation, or funding strategy.
Recent Papers
Sensor-based N management cut nitrogen application by ~40 kg N/ha in corn with no yield loss across 57 Nebraska on-farm site-years (2015–2023). Benefits are greatest in moderate-to-high yield variability fields with coarser soils. Sensors showed no statistically significant gains in winter wheat. Profit probability exceeded 60% for corn across most price scenarios. Despite consistent evidence, only 11% of Nebraska producers currently use sensor-based approaches — indicating a technology transfer gap.
A 5-year statewide Nebraska on-farm experiment (2016–2021, 17 farmer collaborators, UNL + USDA-NRCS) found cover crop use had the greatest impact on soil organic matter, carbon, and nitrogen dynamics across all practices tested. Effects were practice-specific: cover crops improved biological activity and reduced recommended N inputs; reduced tillage and diversified rotations showed variable results. No single practice improved all soil properties — a systems-level approach combining multiple practices delivered the most consistent gains.
