Bulletin No. 274 - Influence Of Rotation And Manure On The Nitrogen, Phosphorus, And Carbon Of The Soil, J. E. Greaves, C. T. Hirst
Bulletin No. 274 - Influence Of Rotation And Manure On The Nitrogen, Phosphorus, And Carbon Of The Soil, J. E. Greaves, C. T. Hirst
UAES Bulletins
All agricultural plants require carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphorus, iron, and probably traces of other elements for their normal growth and fruition. The growth of farm crops is dependent upon an available supply of these elements, and the extent of growth is governed by the one present and available in least quantity in proportion to the plant's needs. Of the essential elements, all plants secure two (carbon and oxygen) from the air, one (hydrogen) from the water, and the others from the soil. Most soils contain sufficient plant nutrients for normal plant production, with the exception …
Bulletin No. 271 - Fertility Maintenance By Rotation And Manure, D. W. Pittman
Bulletin No. 271 - Fertility Maintenance By Rotation And Manure, D. W. Pittman
UAES Bulletins
For several years there has been maintained on the Greenville Farm of the Utah Experiment Station an experiment to determine the relative value of different cropping systems and manurial treatments in maintaining the fertility of the soil.
Bulletin No. 247 - Effect Of Manure And Of Phosphorus Fertilizer On The Yield And Composition Of Alfalfa Hay, D. W. Pittman
Bulletin No. 247 - Effect Of Manure And Of Phosphorus Fertilizer On The Yield And Composition Of Alfalfa Hay, D. W. Pittman
UAES Bulletins
It has frequently been observed by practical stockmen that alfalfa hay produced on poor unproductive land has a much lower feeding value than hay produced on good productive land. Some have also observed that by the use of a supplemental feed rich in phosphorus (such as steamed bone-meal), the feeding value of this poor quality alfalfa hay may be improved, indicating that phosphorus deficiency is at least one cause of its low feeding value.
Bulletin No. 172 - The Value Of Barnyard Manure On Utah Soils, F. S. Harris
Bulletin No. 172 - The Value Of Barnyard Manure On Utah Soils, F. S. Harris
UAES Bulletins
New countries rarely appreciate the value of barnyard manure. It is not until the soil begins to be depleted of its fertility and the yield of crops begins to decline that manure is given the attention that its value justifies. In new countries it is not uncommon to see manure hauled into a rut in the road or left in scattered heaps along the roadside or the ditch bank. Often a year's accumulation of manure is drawn out of the barn or corral in scrapers and added to a pile containing the accumulation of previous years.
Bulletin No. 154 - Irrigation And Manuring Studies Ii: The Effect Of Varying Quantities Of Irrigation Water And Manure On The Growth And Yield Of Corn, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman
Bulletin No. 154 - Irrigation And Manuring Studies Ii: The Effect Of Varying Quantities Of Irrigation Water And Manure On The Growth And Yield Of Corn, F. S. Harris, D. W. Pittman
UAES Bulletins
The present bulletin describes the results of an experiment on the irrigation and manuring of corn for the six years from 1911 to 1916, inclusive. The first three years' results of this experiment have already been published as Bulletin No. 133 of this Station. Besides the material discussed in that publication the present bulletin contains data on the composition of corn here presented for the first time.
