Foliar Fertilization Of Burley Tobacco At Topping, Kenneth L. Wells, Kim D. Strohmeier

Soil Science News and Views

Many burley growers follow the practice of applying 1-2 gallons/A of liquid fertilizer to their tobacco crop by mixing it with their sucker control chemical and spraying the combined mixture on the crop soon after topping. This practice is thought to improve yields. However, previously reported testing of this practice by the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture indicated that it did not improve yields.

Effectiveness Of Tile Drainage On Karnak Silty Clay Soil, Gerald R. Haszler

Soil Science News and Views

Artificial drainage of agricultural lands has been practiced for centuries. Earlier techniques devised were open ditches to drain the excess water. The widescale development of subsurface tile drains began with the production and availability of clay tiles. Today, corrugated plastic pipe is the most popular and efficient way to install subsurface drainage lines. The objective of agricultural soil drainage is the removal and disposal of excess water from the rooting zone in order to improve soil productivity. The 1971 Soil Conservation Service (SCS) handbook estimated that 130 million acres or about one-third of all crop land in the United States …

Design And Maintenance Of Cisterns, E. Holmes, Joseph L. Taraba

Agricultural Engineering Extension Updates

I. Design concepts: (See Figure 1)

1. Water tight inside and outside Power & Machinery
2. Manhole or other covers tight to prevent contamination with 2" raised curb
3. Overflow with check valve
4. Initial roof-off diverted from cistern as roof dirt is washed off
5. Inlet pipe near the top with splash pan below or a force breaker at bottom so that floor settlements are not disturbed. No data on which is more effective.
6. Cleanout outlet pipe to pump located in small sump area with floor sloping to sump.
7. Placed below ground to prevent freezing
8. Water pipe to houe from floating inlet or 4" …

Lead In Your Drinking Water, Joseph L. Taraba

Agricultural Engineering Extension Updates

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) recently imposed a regulation requiring public water suppliers to notify all their customers of the potential health effects of lead from household plumbing. The USEPA regulates public water supplies (with at least 15 service connections or servicing 25 individuals) but does not regulate private water supplies. The potential health hazard of lead is also present from household plumbing which is supplied water from a private water source.

Bottled Water, Joseph L. Taraba

Agricultural Engineering Extension Updates

Bottled water is an option for families who have a water problem, whether their water is unsafe or has an "off" taste or odor. It is best used as a temporary measure or in small quantities for drinking water. At a cost of 65 cents to $1.15 per gallon (Lexington, KY; July 1988) bottled water could become an expensive item for a large family using it for drinking and cooking.

Guide To Interpretation Of Structural Features Associated With The Kentucky River Fault System Along U.S. Highway 27 Near Camp Nelson, Kentucky, J. A. Gilreath, Paul E. Potter, George Losonsky

Map and Chart--KGS

The spectacular, near- vertical roadcuts in the High Bridge Group (Middle Ordovician) in central Kentucky (Fig. 1) along U.S. Highway 27 just south of the Kentucky River (Fig. 2) afford an excellent opportunity to examine a major fault zone and study its complexity (Figs, 3, 4). These roadcuts are located in Garrard County approximately 12 miles south of Lexington and contain the oldest rocks exposed in Kentucky.

Tests With A Product Having Alleged Value For Increasing Plant Available Water In Soil, Gale Dunn

Soil Science News and Views

Currently, there are a number of products being marketed for agricultural and horticultural use that have tremendous water absorbing properties. Some of these products are polyacrylamides which are synthetic compounds with chemical and physical properties which allow them to absorb large amounts of water relative to their dry weights. The implied advantage for use of such materials is that they can absorb more water than the soil itself, and acting like a sponge, hold more plant available water in the root zone.

Handling Leftover Spray Mixtures And Rinsates, James Martin, Monroe Rasnake, Doug Johnson

Soil Science News and Views

Pesticide applicators are faced with the issue of what to do with leftover spray mixtures and rinsewater from cleaning sprayers or other equipment involved with the mixing and application of pesticides. There is increasing concern that releasing these diluted pesticides around such places as the workshop and loading or mixing areas could be a potential risk to human health and the environment.

Control Of Nitrate Leaching With Winter Annual Cover Crops, Daniel Mccracken

Soil Science News and Views

Public attention and Federal legislation have focused recently on the contamination of groundwater by nitrate. Seeking to establish standards for safe drinking water, the Federal Government has set the maximum concentration for nitrate (as nitrogen) at 10 parts per million. In large areas of the Great Plains, this value is now commonly exceeded in well water. The limited data from Kentucky appear to indicate that excessive nitrate concentrations are not as widespread in Kentucky water supplies as they are in the water of states more heavily involved in grain production and more dependent on shallow wells for supply. One of …

Will Liming Acid Soils Now Be Adequate For Spring Needs?, Kenneth L. Wells, J. L. Sims

Soil Science News and Views

Each spring many farmers are faced with seeding forages, corn, and soybeans, and transplanting tobacco into acid soils. The choices are either to go ahead with planting and do nothing, don't plant, or to try some liming practice and hope that it works. The results from planting without doing anything may be disastrous or result in limited crop performance. While not planting is a viable option for some producers, most cannot afford this choice. The question most often faced is, "Will liming now do any good for this year's crop?"

Managing Soils For Optimum Crop Production, Kenneth L. Wells

Soil Science News and Views

The major resources which must be manipulated to develop a farm operation are LAND, LABOR, CAPITAL, and MANAGEMENT. Of these four broad categories of resources, LAND is the one which imposes constraints which ultimately determine the productive capacity of the individual farming system developed. This is because land is a fixed resource from the standpoint of the nature and amount of it available for developing a specific farming system. In this regard, the allocation of LABOR, CAPITAL, and MANAGEMENT should be directly linked to LAND productive capability in order to economically optimize the farming system developed. In other words, the …
