Abstract/Contents:"Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) have recently become available and have proven effective in measuring phosphorus present in soils as well as nitrate (NO₃⁻) under both cultivated and grassland field conditions. We have attempted to assess the ability of AEM strips to measure NO₃⁻ present under a perennial grassland harvested for hay three times during the growing season. In all cases, we found significant quadratic relationships between nitrogen (N) applied and NO₃⁻ desorbed from the AEM strips. Using both linear-response-and-plateau (LRP) and quadratic-plateau (QP) models, we found highly significant relationships to relative yield and the ability to predict a critical level (CL) of NO₃⁻-N necessary to reach maximum yield during two harvest periods. The AEM strips provided a good correlation between NO₃⁻ and N rate, and between NO₃^D- and yield. Critical levels at which subsequent N would need to be applied in order to achieve maximum yield were identified. These need to be further field-tested for consistency under differing environmental conditions."
