Phosphorus And Potassium Elemental Or Oxide, Harold F. Miller, George D. Corder
Phosphorus And Potassium Elemental Or Oxide, Harold F. Miller, George D. Corder
Agronomy Notes
Soil tests for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are reported on the elemental basis by all soil testing laboratories (state and county) in Kentucky.
Field Trials With Zinc On Corn, H. F. Miller, S. H. Phillips, C. E. Wyatt
Field Trials With Zinc On Corn, H. F. Miller, S. H. Phillips, C. E. Wyatt
Agronomy Notes
Zinc deficiency in corn has been found in isolated instances in Kentucky during the past few years. Usually the deficiency is found in fields having a high pH or in high-phosphate soils with somewhat lower pH values. At present zinc deficiency in Kentucky soils does not appear widespread enough to justify recommending its application except where known deficiencies exist.
A New Black Shank Resistant Hybrid, Jones H. Smiley, Ira E. Massie
A New Black Shank Resistant Hybrid, Jones H. Smiley, Ira E. Massie
Agronomy Notes
Seed of a new black shank resistant burley hybrid will be available to growers in 1964. This hybrid is especially for farmers who cannot rotate their tobacco land and . thus, are forced to set their crop in a black shank infested field. The hybrid is a cross between two black shank resistant varieties, MS L8 and Burley 37. The female parent , MS L8, carries black shank resistance from a wild relative of tobacco.
Calcium Deficiency Symptoms In Burley Tobacco, Jones H. Smiley, Ira E. Massie, George Everette
Calcium Deficiency Symptoms In Burley Tobacco, Jones H. Smiley, Ira E. Massie, George Everette
Agronomy Notes
Calcium is an element required by all higher plants in relatively large quantities. It appears to be closely related to the formation of buds and flowers.
Calcium is usually available in sufficient quantities in Kentucky soils to produce a normal crop of tobacco. However, when certain varieties of burley tobacco commence to bloom and produce suckers, the tips of the calyx lobes of the flowers may turn brown and die and the edges of the small leaves of the suckers may be necrotic, resulting in irregularly shaped sucker leaves. In severe cases the apical bud may be killed. These calcium …
Tobacco Stalk Production, Value And Use, George D. Corder, Harold F. Miller
Tobacco Stalk Production, Value And Use, George D. Corder, Harold F. Miller
Agronomy Notes
When Kentucky farmers finish stripping the 1963 tobacco crop they will have 176,000 tons of tobacco stalks worth $2 million on their farms.
These stalks will contain 9.8 million pounds of nitrogen, 932,000 pounds of phosphorus (2 million pounds of P2O5) and 13 million pounds of potassium (15.6 million pounds of K2O). Equal amounts of these plant nutrients bought in commercial fertilizers in 1963 would have cost more than $2 million.
Changes In Soil Ph Caused By Heavy Nitrogen Fertilization, W. O. Atkinson
Changes In Soil Ph Caused By Heavy Nitrogen Fertilization, W. O. Atkinson
Agronomy Notes
Ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate, urea and anhydrous ammonia leave acid residues, thus tending to make the soils more acid. The degree to which soil pH may be affected and the persistence of such changes for a silt loam soil is shown in the table below. The same amounts of phosphorus and potash were applied to all plots, and the different amounts of nitrogen were supplied from ammonium nitrate. Burley tobacco was the crop grown and the data are for 1963, which was the second consecutive year for the fertilizer treatments. (These were experimental plots and the high treatments …

Agronomy Notes, No. 6, Harold F. Miller, George D. Corder
Agronomy Notes
This fall is an ideal time to apply needed agricultural limestone. Spreading equipment can get over the dry ground with less soil compaction, and limestone applied now can correct soil acidity during the winter months.
Fall Treatment Of Tobacco Beds With Methyl Bromide, Ira E. Massie, George Everette, Jones H. Smiley
Fall Treatment Of Tobacco Beds With Methyl Bromide, Ira E. Massie, George Everette, Jones H. Smiley
Agronomy Notes
Treating tobacco beds with methyl bromide for the purpose of killing weed seed has become very popular in recent years. The gas is effective except on the seed of white clover and when the soil temperature is below 50° F.
Plant Beds, Jones H. Smiley, Ira E. Massie
Plant Beds, Jones H. Smiley, Ira E. Massie
Agronomy Notes
Due to the occurrence of blue mold and manganese toxicity in some of the plant beds this last spring, it is probably advisable for all growers to select a new site for the 1964 crop.
Blue mold is a fungus disease which sometimes causes severe damage to tobacco seedings just prior to setting time. The fungus will produce heavy-walled spores on the dying or dead leaves. These spores are capable of remaining in the soil at least a year and attacking the next crop of plants if the same site is used again for tobacco plants .
Determine Liming Needs On Tobacco Land This Fall, Jones H. Smiley, Harold F. Miller
Determine Liming Needs On Tobacco Land This Fall, Jones H. Smiley, Harold F. Miller
Agronomy Notes
There have been far too many reports of manganese toxicity in tobacco this season for a condition which is so easily corrected.
Manganese is one of the minor elements necessary for plant growth, but it is needed in very small amounts. When large amounts are taken up by a tobacco plant, light green or yellowish areas appear between the larger veins of the leaf. In severe cases the plant may be stunted or even die.
Agronomy Notes, No. 1, S. H. Phillips, Harold F. Miller, Verne C. Finkner
Agronomy Notes, No. 1, S. H. Phillips, Harold F. Miller, Verne C. Finkner
Agronomy Notes
This is the first issue of "Agronomy Notes." The Agronomy Department, University of Kentucky, expects to use this publication to inform county agents, other agricultural workers, and leaders on current progress in soils & crops work. The Kentucky Experiment Station will be an important source of information. Information may be drawn from other research. Field trials and observations that show useful information may be reported. The emphasis will be on short timely topics.
Barley - Oat Varieties, 1963, S. H. Phillips
Barley - Oat Varieties, 1963, S. H. Phillips
Agronomy Notes
Selection of barley and oat varieties is important to growers of these small grains. Tests are conducted across Kentucky by the University of Kentucky Agronomy Department to determine yield, winter hardiness, disease resistance, standability, and other characteristics important to efficient production. Planting dates are more important for these two crops than for wheat and rye because of winter freeze damage. The best planting dates for barley and oats run from September 1 to September 20. Later plantings are made in Kentucky but are subject to more damage from cold weather. Increased planting rates in barley tend to improve yield in …
