1. Spatial Variability of Soil Test Phosphorus, Potassium, pH and Organic Matter ContentAs part of a larger study investigating the potential for variable fertilizer N application in corn production, 18 field sites were established on farms across Ontario intensively sampled in the 1995 and 1996 field seasons to assess the spatial variability of soil test P, K, pH and organic matter content. Soil parameters typically display a log-normal distribution (positive skew) which would generally result in the under-fertilization of a greater area of a field if the rate of fertilization was... |
2. Impact of Liquid Hog Manure and Inorganic Phosphorus (P) Fertilizer Additions on Soil Test P and P Uptake by RyegrassOntario recently introduced a phosphorus (P) index to assess the relative risk of surface water contamination resulting from P application to cropland, and to suggest possible management strategies and application restrictions to reduce this risk. The index incorporates various soiVsite characteristics (soil test P level, erosionlmnoff potential etc.) as well as management practices (rate and method of P application). Within the development of the P index, questions were raised regarding the relative... |
