Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin No. 173 reports field trials on white clay land in Cuyahoga and Wayne counties. It compares nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash mixes with manure and tankage, showing the greatest gain from superphosphate and nitrate combinations and noting farmers can cut costs by buying in bulk from Ohio suppliers.
Agricultural bulletin reports experiments on clay soils at a sub station and central station. Manure increased crop value by 2.60 per ton in a three-crop rotation, but half the manure was inadvertently used. Totals for corn and wheat came to 25 per ton. Stations track multiple crops over a five-year rotation with trials on five tracts. Partial results show estimated gains using prices per bushel and per ton for corn oats wheat straw hay and hay.
Ohio Station findings from central sub station trials show immediate crop gains averaging about 1.25 dollars per ton of barnyard manure regardless of 4 or 8 ton acre applications. Three crop rotations with potatoes indicate manure can yield 2.50 dollars per ton, but phosphoric acid is the scarce nutrient for many Ohio soils.
Experiments at the Ohio Station test using acid phosphate on manure to preserve ammonia and boost the work of ammonia and potash in barnyard waste. Prices of acid phosphate have fallen, making it affordable for delivery across Ohio.
