Chilean nitrate of soda boosts corn yields says farmers
Farmers report long use of Chilean nitrate of soda as a quick acting nitrogen source for corn. Experts note rotting of cottonseed meal delays plant availability, while Chilean nitrate provides rapid nitrogen 36 to 40 days after planting. W H Camp of Villa Rica Ga and Blaney Sumrell of Ayden NC testify that 100 to 200 pounds per acre doubles corn yields and improves cotton and small grains.
Unknown Farmer Deserves Recognition
Distinguished recognition is given to an obscure early adopter of Chilean nitrate of soda and nitrate side dressing for cotton and corn. Experiments show optimal timing and proportions, including 500 pounds per acre mix and split nitrogen applications. Early explorers credit a missionary among South American Indians for the discovery of Chilean nitrate, known as soda or Chile saltpeter in the South, the standard nitrogen fertilizer for decades.

South Carolina data show Master Farmers averaging 44 pounds lint per acre versus 167 pounds for the state’s average, underscoring the method’s value.
