In cooperation with Stuart Brabant, Area Extension Agent in Henderson county , four field trials with nitrogen fertilization on corn were conducted in the Ohio River Bottom area. In two of the trials where corn was followed by corn, nitrogen was applied at the rates of 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 pounds per acre, with each treatment replicated 4 times. In the two other trials, where corn was grown following soybeans, nitrogen rates of 0, 100 and 200 pounds per acre were replicated 4 times in one field and 3 times in the other.

Response Of Corn To Broadcast Applications Of Zinc, Harold F. Miller

Agronomy Notes

Where zinc deficiency in corn occurs on Kentucky soils it has been corrected by applying 3 to 6 pounds of elemental zinc per acre in the row at planting time. In some areas of the state, corn planters with row fertilizer attachments are not generally used, raising the question as to library the amount of zinc required when broadcast applications are made.

Through the cooperation of Clarence Mitchell, Area Extension Specialist, a field was located where the 1966 corn crop showed zinc deficiency. Since the field was to be planted in corn (Connecticut 860) in 1967, a field trial with …
