Boron is available on the market in a number of different compounds, but three new boron-carrying materials have recently come on the market. Since the boron content of each compound is different, the concentration will determine the rate required per acre.

A Burley Tobacco Variety-Management Study In 1966-67, Jones H. Smiley, W. O. Atkinson, A. M. Wallace, Ira E. Massie

Agronomy Notes

A management study was designed to investigate the desirability of two management systems emphasizing (1) yield and (2) quality and a third system (3) aimed at achieving an acceptable level of both yield and quality. (These are hereafter referred to as the "high yield, " "quality, " and "yield and quality" systems, respectively.)

Two varieties, Burley 21 and Ky 10, were grown under the three management systems (outlined in Table 1) in 1/4 acre non-replicated plots at five locations in Kentucky in 1966 and at seven locations in 1967. A three-year or older sod was selected at each location. Phosphorus …

Control Of Black Root Rot In Dark Tobacco, Glenn B. Collins, Paul D. Legg, C. C. Litton

Agronomy Notes

Reports of the increasing prevalence of black root rot in the areas where dark tobacco types are grown has triggered an accelerated effort from the tobacco research staff to develop and release additional varieties with high resistance to this disease. The high level of resistance to black root rot found in Nicotiana debneyi (an Australian species) is being used as the source of resistance in the breeding program.

What Happens To Fertilizer Nitrogen In The Soil?, W. O. Atkinson, John L. Ragland

Agronomy Notes

What happens to the nitrogen a farmer applies as fertilizer each spring?

First, let us consider the forms of nitrogen normally applied, and then attempt to trace what happens to the nitrogen once it is added to the soil. The average complete fertilizer contains approximately 70 percent of its nitrogen in the ammonium nitrogen form (NH4), about 10 percent in the urea form (this is quickly converted to ammonium nitrogen), and the remaining 20 percent in the nitrate nitrogen form (NO₃) .

Fertilizer-Insecticide Mixtures On Corn, R. A. Scheibner, George D. Corder

Agronomy Notes

Soil fertility and insects are major factors that affect corn yields. The proper kinds and amounts of fertilizers and insecticides when used properly will make corn production more economical on fields where either or both are needed.

An Evaluation Of Temperature Distribution Within Asphalt Pavements And Its Relationship To Pavement Deflection, Herbert F. Southgate

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

The attached report presents significant progress and achievements in the area of asphalt pavement design. Benkelman beam deflections were used extensively in conjunction with our 1958 study of asphalt pavement performance; apparent relationships between 18–kip deflections and pavement structures were evident then although scatter in the data was thought to be necessarily admissible. During the spring and summer of 1966, another extensive series of pavements, built since 1958, were evaluated from the standpoint of performance and deflection. It seemed compelling at that time to adjust all deflections to some common reference temperature and so the surface temperature of the pavement …

The Crab Orchard And Osgood Formations: The Case For Slope Instability, Robert C. Deen

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

For the past few years, the Division of Research, as a part of its continuing study of the occurrence of landslides in Kentucky, has reviewed and studied several sites in order to identify and delineate the geologic and soil formations which might be involved in the unstable earth masses. After a study of a number of landslides, it became evident that one particular material was highly susceptible to the development of landslides. This material, in Eastern Kentucky, is known as the Crab Orchard Formation and was deposited during the middle Silurian age. The Crab Orchard Formation, a deposit some 50 …

Kenblue Kentucky Bluegrass, Robert C. Buckner

Agronomy Notes

Since the early 19th century the Blue Grass Region of Kentucky has had a worldwide reputation for its Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) As early as 1835, people from adjoining states visited the region to see its luxuriant fields and to learn of the culture and management of this valuable grass. This interest has led to the development of a profitable seed industry in central Kentucky. Kentucky produced the bulk of Kentucky bluegrass seed for the nation during the latter half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries.

Since 1960, foreign importation and competitive production of …

Agronomy Notes

Enide 50W is recommended for trial use on tobacco beds for 1968. The results of treatments with Enide in Kentucky in 1967 have been somewhat variable; therefor e, until additional information is obtained and the tobacco grower becomes more experienced in applying the chemical, it should be used on a trial basis.

Results Of Nitrogen Applications On Ohio River Overflow Bottom Areas In Henderson County In 1967, Harold F. Miller

Agronomy Notes

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.

Planting was delayed until early …

Analysis Of Traffic Loads On Bridges, Robert L. Lynch

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

This report contains information concerning:

1. The statistical determination of frequencies of critical axle loadings on highway bridges and
2. The adaptability and adaptability of historical loadometer and classification data in Kentucky to the recently adopted AASHO design criteria for evaluating the fatigue history of existing bridges.

The analysis of the fatigue history of a bridge consists of evaluating the distribution of instantaneous axle loadings over the applicable period. Because of the urgency, only historical records currently available were used as source data. This report is therefore divided into two sections: 1) a summary of quantitative results based on available data, and …

Construction And Interim Performance Report Of Experimental Salt (Nacl) Stabilization Of Plant-Mixed, Dense Graded Aggregate, Robert L. Florence

Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report

For some time the Department has been interested in building-up and retaining thicknesses of granular base course on rural roads through the use of various stabilizing additives and(or) the use of light asphalt seals or surfacings (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). These efforts more or less recognize that the "stage construction" concept is frustrated by weather and traffic erosion of unbound and exposed granular base material. Thus, the motive in experimenting with and in utilizing these treatments is to find economical and effective means by which a granular base can be built and retained until such time that a …
