1. Environmental Sulfur Sources as Inputs for Predicting Sulfur NeedsCrop responses to sulfur fertilization have been damstrated in mt states in the midwest, but the frequency of these responses is relatively lm. Sulfur deficiencies are usually confined to areas where one or mre of the follcrwing conditions exist: (1) Sandy or shallow soils; (2) Low soil organic matter content; (3) No recent manure applications; (4) Low atmospheric sulfur deposition; (5) High crop sulfur requirement. Although diagnostic tests to predict crop response to applied sulfur are an cbvious... |
2. Sustainable Vegetable Crop Production Using Vermi-CompostThis research intends to utili ze earthworm castings as an alternate nutrient source, especially nitrogen, for vegetable crop production. The experiment was conducted in the greenhouse and 'Mountain Fresh' tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was used as the test crop. The main objectives were (1) to identify the optimum app lication rate of earthworm castings (EC) for tomato growth, and (2) to compare tomato res ponse under different treatments. Three different textural soils, namely sandy soil,... |
