1. Effects of Phosphorus Fertilizer Rate, Timing, and Addition of Fertilizer Enhancer on Potato Yield and QualityPotato plants are very inefficient in their abil ity to utilize soil phosphorus (P) on some soils (Kelling et al., 1997). The optimum soil test P category for potato is more than three times greater than for other crops (Laboski et al ., 2006). Being a high value crop, potato growers generally tend to apply more P fertilizer than recommended because it is inexpensive insurance if a yield response to applied P would occur. State nutrient management regulation requires growers to write and follow a... |
2. 2009 - The Summer of Plant Analysis: What Did We Learn?There was a significant increase in the number of samples submitted for plant analysis to the UW Soil and Plant Analysis Laborat ory during the 2009 growing seas on. The objective of this study was to analyze the data from plant samples submitted to the UW Soil and Plant Analysis Laboratory over the past five years to determine if any relevant plant nutrition trends appear. ... |
3. Updating Soil-test Phosphorus and Potassium Calibrations for WisconsinEffective soil-test interpretations and fertilizer recommendations require phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) soil test to be field correlated with crop yield response to fertilization and calibrated to identify response probabilities. Only the Bray-1 soil test is calibrated to provide P and K interpretation guidelines in Wisconsin, with supporting trials being over 30 years old. This study correlated the P extracted by the Bray-1 (BP), Mehlich-3, Olsen-P (OP), and H3A tests and K extracted by the... C.A. Laboski, F.J. Arriaga, J.D. Jones |
