Double Crop Yield in Ohio With Lime and Manure
Small applications of ground limestone and shed manure nearly doubled corn wheat and clover yields in rotation at the Ohio experiment station farm in Carpenter. Limestone applied at 100 pounds per acre on wheat ground. five tons per acre of shed manure plowed under for corn. Over 19 years corn yields rose about 60 percent, wheat 92 percent, and clover hay 108 percent. Initial lime applications may be larger on most acid soils, and timing of lime has little effect on yields.
