2. Correlation and Calibratin of the SMP Lime Requirement Test with Direct Titration of Soil AcidityThe SMP Buffer method (Shoemaker, et al, 1961) of routinely determining lime requirement on soil samples has been used at the University of Kentucky Soil Testing Laboratory (UKSTL) since the mid-1960's. Initial correlation and calibration for Kentucky soils was a result of incubating several soil samples over a period of time after mixing different rates of lime with them (D.E. Peaslee, 1975, personal communication). During the ensuing years, county agricultural extension agents have raised many... |
3. A Smorgasbord of Preliminary Results from Field Trials in OntarioField scale trials may be established to support lo cal needs, but the results seldom reach a wider audience. This paper summarizes two recent fiel d studies by staff of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) on fertilizer use in soybeans and corn. A study of starter fertilizer response in soybeans found that yield responses to fertilizer tended to be relatively small, and seldom large enough to cove r the cost of the added fertilizer. A second study of ammonia volatilization... |
