Crop rotation changes soil nature at Indian Head farm

An experiment at the CDA's Indian Head experimental farm in Saskatchewan shows two cropping systems over 52 years. A nine year rotation with grass alfalfa wheat oats corn and summerfallow maintained humus at 9.3 percent, while a straight wheat rotation fell to 8.1 percent. Wheat without fertilizer yielded six bushels more on humus rich land, and ammonium nitrate fertilizer matched this on poorer land. Phosphorus and other treatments had limited impact, and none altered yields on the nine year rotation soil, suggesting past soil management influences fertilizer needs alongside soil tests.
