Dan Olk is a soil biochemist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service and works at the National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment in Ames, Iowa. He is a Ph.D. graduate (1993) of the University of California, Davis and worked for eight years at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines before his employment with the USDA-ARS (2001-present). Since 2009 Dr. Olk has conducted field evaluations of humic products in corn-soybean rotations of the U.S. Midwest, studying the efficacy of humic products for improving crop growth as influenced by environmental variables, including annual weather patterns and soil type. Field research has also addressed responses by corn structural biochemistry and root growth to humic products, and more recently has studied long-term benefits to soil physical properties. His laboratory research has used an integrated extraction for physical and chemical fractions of soil organic matter to link seasonal changes in their masses and biochemical natures to crop production and soil nutrient cycling in field conditions.
PFR’s, also referred to as plant hormones or phytohormones signal molecules produced within plants that control growth and development from germination to the production of seed, fruit and plant maturity. Industry research will help explain hormone activity in plants by first covering the five major hormone families found in plants and how the optimum the proper ratio which is critical to maximizing the plants potential. Learn how to use the right PGR at the right rate and right crop stage to reach your production objectives.

Humic products from two companies promoted positive grain yield responses from rainfed corn and soybean in multiple field trials in central Iowa, although the degree of response varied. Yield responses were largest during droughtier conditions. They were generally financially profitable, even if agronomically modest due to the high yields that typify Iowa farming. Corn structural biochemistry responded in patterns that suggest complex biochemical interactions of humic products with environmental conditions and cellular-level plant processes. Corn leaf area and root growth also responded favorably to the humic products. Although the root growth responded too late in the season to explain enhanced leaf growth and perhaps grain yield response, its greater input of recalcitrant carbon into the soil carries implications for soil health. Hence, after five years of humic product application to one local field, modest but consistent benefits were observed below the plow layer to soil physical properties, including soil penetrometer resistance, available water content, and dry aggregation.

This presentation will discuss the impacts, implications, strategies, and techniques for the management of degraded soils in agricultural production. The talk will review short term strategies to optimize water use efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency in complex, spatially diverse fields and will discuss potential opportunities and benefits for investing and adopting strategies to restore these degraded soils. We will discuss the importance of monitoring and evaluating field scale variability in crop performance and profitability to improve spatial management strategies through on farm-experimentation and geospatial data. We will also discuss the benefits of improved soil health, particularly soil water retention and organic nitrogen, on crop performance in these degraded soils.
Associate Professor, Agricultural Engineer
As the main constituent of soil organic matter and microbial biomass, soil organic carbon plays key roles in several soil processes, yet there remains much to learn about its composition, cycling, and optimal management. This presentation will review current knowledge on the formation and chemical components of soil organic matter, its significance to soil processes and soil health classifications, and effects of different management practices on its accumulation.
