The Effect Of Three Tillage Systems On Bulk Density And Porosity Of A Pembroke And A Beasley Soil After Three Years, Kenneth L. Wells, John H. Grove
Agronomy Notes
Many grain producers in Kentucky use a 3 crop in 2 year rotation of corn followed by small grain-soybeans, and commonly no-till the soybeans and corn in order to intensively use sloping land for continuous grain production. Because of the intensity of machinery traffic in this system, growers are concerned that continuous no-till management may cause compaction, and that such fields may need occasional primary tillage. In order to obtain' information regarding things situation, we conducted a test for 3 years on the farm of' Philip Lyvers, in Marion County, Kentucky, in a field which was being used in a …
Adjusting Soil Ph On Heavy Textured Soils Of The Eden Hills, Kenneth L. Wells, R. M. Jones
Adjusting Soil Ph On Heavy Textured Soils Of The Eden Hills, Kenneth L. Wells, R. M. Jones
Agronomy Notes
The Eden Hills Area (also known as The Hills of the Bluegrass) of Kentucky lies adjacent to the Inner Bluegrass Area in a crescent shape within which a large area of several counties occur. Carroll, Owen, Grant, Gallatin, Pendleton, and Robertson Counties occur almost entirely within this physiographic region and several other counties have sizable acreages within it. Soils of the area have formed largely on Ordovician aged calcareous siltstones of the Garrard Formation and interbedded calcareous shales, thin limestones, and siltstones of the Eden Formation. Soils developed from these formations occur on strongly sloping to steep landscapes and have …
