Carry-over Power of Fertilizer Aids All Rotation Crops
Ohio State University agronomist H J Mederaki reports that fertilizer carry over boosts yields across rotation crops. Tests show corn up 18 bushels per acre, oats 8, wheat 10, and hay 760 pounds per acre from 500 pounds of nitrogen phosphate potash applied for corn. When applied to a new legume grass seeding after wheat hay increased 1800 pounds, corn 12 bushels, oats 7, and wheat 6. Applying to wheat raised wheat 19 bushels, hay 1300 pounds, corn 7, oats 6 bushels. Mederski notes soil fertility can be elevated by placing most fertilizer at a rotation point like meadow, with smaller amounts at corn planting.
