Laboratory incubation studies and field studies with sweet corn
and onions were undertaken to evaluate interactions of lime,
phosphorus (P), and copper (Cu). Eight soils were incubated at a
constant temperature of 21 °C with combinations of band placed
monocalcium phosphate (MCP), ammonium sulfate (AmS), and copper
sulfate pentahydrate (CSPH)...
Oregon sweet corn growers face high fertilizer, fuel
and weed control costs; soil compaction, erosion, organic
matter and nutrient depletion; and difficult equipment
operations in muddy fields. An alternative production
system might ease some of these problems.
Testing was begun to evaluate a living-mulch
cropping system for sweet corn (Zea...
Soil-related problems common to Oregon farmers are
erosion, compaction, organic matter depletion, and
nutrient loss. High costs of fertilizer, fuel, and weed
control are additional management problems. Growing a
secondary crop as a living mulch with a primary crop may
ease some of these problems.
