Soils and Fertilizers Suggestions for Peanuts Soy Beans and Sweet Potatoes
Farmers are urged to use the county soil survey for crop-specific soil needs. Peanuts favor Cecil and Appling sandy loams with 12-0-2 or 10-2-2 fertilizer. soybeans prefer fertile sandy or clay loams with stable manure and acid phosphate. sweet potatoes do best on fertile sandy loam with 7-3-6 fertilizer. Kill weevils early to protect squares and yields.
