G89-901 Understand Your Soil Test: Sulfur, K.D. Frank, Delno Knudsen
G89-901 Understand Your Soil Test: Sulfur, K.D. Frank, Delno Knudsen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Factors leading to sulfur deficiency, soil and water tests, soil test interpretation and fertilizer materials that contain sulfur are covered here.
Sulfur, one of the macro-nutrients, may be deficient in some sandy soils but usually is plentiful in other soils of the state. The amounts contained by healthy crops are on the same order as phosphorus, ranging from 0.2 percent to .5 percent sulfur. It is a component of certain amino acids, and so is part of several proteins essential for plants and animals.

G89-923 Windbreak Maintenance And Renovation, Jon Wilson, Mike Kuhns
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
What are you doing to maintain your windbreak? Is renovation necessary? This NebGuide can help you decide.
Windbreaks are integral parts of many Nebraska farming and ranching operations. They protect man, animals, crops and buildings from cold winter winds, hot summer winds, and deep snows. Windbreaks prevent wind erosion and provide wildlife habitat.
All windbreaks, even well-designed ones, need regular maintenance. Some windbreaks, especially those that are older or neglected, may need more drastic treatment or renovation.
G89-902 Intensive Gardening Techniques, Betty Besal
G89-902 Intensive Gardening Techniques, Betty Besal
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes techniques which will allow the gardener to grow more vegetables where space may be limited.
For some people, a small-sized garden is preferable to a larger one. Smaller gardens require less labor and expense than larger gardens. Decreasing garden size provides more yard space for other activities. The gardener can concentrate soil improvement efforts in a smaller area, and, with careful management, small gardens can produce sufficient vegetables for fresh eating during the growing season, and perhaps extra produce for preserving.
