Zinc Fertilization Of Corn In Kentucky, W. W. Frye, H. F. Miller, Lloyd W. Murdock, D. E. Peaslee
Agronomy Notes
Of the agronomic crops, corn is especially sensitive to zinc deficiency. The major symptom of zinc deficiency in corn is broad white stripes in the leaves at or near the growing point in the early growth stages of the plant. It has been referred to as "white bud" disease because of the characteristic whitish area on one or both sides of the midrib near the base of new leaves. It can be seen as a new leaf unfolds from the whorl. Growth is stunted resulting in shorter than normal internodes. The pith of the stalk may become darkened at the …
Response Of Different Crops To Various Rates Of Furnace Ash Applied As A Soil Amendment, Lloyd W. Murdock, George Everette
Response Of Different Crops To Various Rates Of Furnace Ash Applied As A Soil Amendment, Lloyd W. Murdock, George Everette
Agronomy Notes
Furnace ash from coal fired electrical generating steam plants has increased greatly in the last decade with the increased demand for electricity and increased restrictions on air pollution. The large volumes of ash are presenting disposal and containment problems for management of electrical generating plants. Property adjacent to the generating plants has been exposed to fly ash settling from the smoke stacks and ash over flowing from holding structures. The effects of the material on the land and its production are unknown and concern property owners.
Foliar Fertilization Of Soybeans - 1977, Lloyd W. Murdock, Preeda Boon-Long, Dennis B. Egli, Kenneth L. Wells
Foliar Fertilization Of Soybeans - 1977, Lloyd W. Murdock, Preeda Boon-Long, Dennis B. Egli, Kenneth L. Wells
Agronomy Notes
Field investigations on the effect of foliar fertilization were continued on soybeans during 1977. Results from our 1976 studies have previously been published.
In 1976 we tested a material produced by TVA. We used the same TVA-material in 1977 and in addition, included a commercially available product (Foliantm, manufactured by Allied Chemical Corporation).
