Incubation experiments with an acid poorly drained soil have
shown that the application of neutral soluble salts influenced the level
of extractable Mn. The application of a salt which lowered the soil
pH either increased the extractable Mn or retarded the oxidation
and/or fixation of extractable Mn. This effect was...
The potassium status of selected soils from central and eastern Oregon, that have shown a wide range in response from potassium was investigated. The silt and clay minerals were identified using X-ray crystallography. The potassium extracted by water, NH₄OAc, and HNO₃ was evaluated on the total soil and on the...
The effect of different soil moisture levels on the amount and
location of NO₃ -N accumulation in the soil profile were studied.
The cultivars used in this study were Mcdermid, a soft white
winter wheat, and Hudson, a medium early winter barley.
Moisture treatments simulating dry, normal and wet fallow...
Several crops grown in the Willamette valley of western Oregon
respond to applications of boron fertilizers. The acid, highly-leached
soils of this area are naturally low in plant-available B. Application
of B to the soil annually or at less frequent intervals is currently
recommended, but the fate of applied B...
The effects of different fallow moisture levels and tillage
systems on the amount of nitrate-nitrogen accumulation in the 0-30 cm
soil profile were studied.
Fallow moisture treatments simulating typical dry, normal and
wet precipitation cycles were established on trial plots.
Data were obtained for nitrate-nitrogen, soil moisture and
nitrogen mineralization...
Contamination events at Oak Creek, which runs through Oregon State University Research lands, prompted investigations into alternate transport mechanisms for moving liquid effluent from OSU Diary lands to Oak Creek. Magnetometer surveys conducted at the Diary identified magnetic signatures spatially associated with sub-surface locations of drain tiles, a 12-inch pipe,...
Lime was applied at different rates to filbert trees grown in
containers in an acid soil. As lime application rate increased, the
leaf Mn and extractable soil Mn were significantly reduced. In
control trees leaf Mn was over 1300 ppm, but no growth reduction or
Mn toxicity symptoms were found....
