1. Phosphorus Stratification- is it Relevent to P uptake by SoybeanStratification of nutrients, observed in soils under continuous no-till management, remains an issue. Two experiments were conducted during 2001 and 2002 to evaluate the effect of stratification on P nutrition of soybean (Glycine nzax (L.) Merr.). At the fist site there were five blocks with stratified and unstratified main plots and five levels of soil test P as subplots. In the second trial there were four blocks with two stratification treatments as main plots, the absence and presence of in-row... |
2. Reevaluating Potassium Recommendations for Soybean Production in KentuckyFertility recommendations from land grant universities are typically lower than private soil test laboratories and lead producers to question the adequacy of current recommendations. Further, soil samples analyzed at UK Regulatory Services Soil Testing Laboratory indicate that average state-wide soil test potassium (K) levels are declining approximately 1 lb K/A/year. The reason for this decline is not known, but some suspect it might be due to increased crop yields while maintaining historical... E. Ritchey, J.H. Grove, J.M. Mcgrath |
3. Comparing the Effectiveness of Calcium Products in Neutralizing Soil AcidityProper pH management is the foundation of a good soil fertility program. Soil pH influences nutrient availability, root growth and function. Acid soils are neutralized by the addition of carbonates, oxides, and hydroxides present in limestone products. However, there is a common perception that calcium is responsible for the neutralization of acid soils rather than the carbonates associated with calcium in the limestone. The effectiveness of three calcium products in raising soil pH were compared... E.L. Ritchey, J.H. Grove, C. Teutsch |
