Illinois soil surveys show phosphorus and potassium needs
The Farmers' Institute reports extensive soil surveys across Illinois. Findings: phosphorus is deficient in common soils, and grain or bone phosphate must be returned or supplemented with manure, steamed bone meal, or rock phosphate. Potassium is abundant in the north but less available in southern soils. Strategies include legume crops, green manures, lime, and careful manure use to improve productivity while preserving fragile lands.
