Farmers urged to apply potash in Clark county soils
The Clark county advisory notes many farmers have not learned the importance of applying 150 to 200 pounds of potash per acre every two years on most soils. Clover curcylio, a snub-nosed black beetle the size of half a soybean, has caused mild damage to soybeans in fields planted after clover. It feeds on lower leaves and correct identification is advised. Farm visits will be made and agents invite specimens for identification.
