Corn (Zea mays L., 'Illinois WF 9x38-11') and potato (Solanum tuberosum L., 'Russet Burbank') were grown in dithizone purified nutrient solutions to contrast relationships between dry matter yield, tissue phosphorus (P) concentration, and tissue zinc (Zn) concentration as they influence the development of Zn deficiency and P toxicity. Treatments consisted...
This guide covers key nutrient management topics related to tall fescue grown for seed in western Oregon. Crop growth and timing of nutrient uptake is covered. Specific recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur, and soil pH provided. A number of appendices address micronutrients, and other research projects that are relevant...
The phenomena known as "phosphorus-induced zinc deficiencies"
are poorly understood. Conclusions drawn from research efforts
designed to identify the mechanism of the phosphorus-zinc interaction
are, in many cases, incompatible. Similarities in the data from
a number of literature reports of "phosphorus-induced zinc deficiencies"
have led to the development of the...
Soil acidity, expressed by low soil pH, causes reduced crop growth and significant economic loss. It is the most commonly overlooked and poorly understood yield-limiting factor in western Oregon and a developing concern in eastern Oregon. This publication describes the concept of soil acidity and the limitations it causes for...
This publication describes how to estimate lime application rate and lists criteria for choosing liming materials (source), lime application method (placement), and how often to apply lime (frequency).
