What Kind Of Fertilizer
Ought You To Use?
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
Few more important questions are
confronting tlie farmers of Oeorgla
than how. to utilize fertilizers to the
greatest advantage. In attempting to
answer this question tests plats are
being conducted iii various parts of
the state and on different types of
soli. Three years' results have been
obtained.
in south Georgia eleven distinctive
areas are being used and the data has
reference to corn, cottofi and oatB.
The work with each crop is duplicated
for accuracy of results.
No fertilizer is used on the first
Plat. Muriate of potash has been ap
plied oil the second plat at the rate
of 100 pounds per acre; acid phos
phate on the third plat at tho rate of
400 pounds per acre; nitrogen derived
from dried blood and applied at the
rate, of ISO pounds per acre on the
fourth’ plat; the fifth plat was ferliilz-
ed with phosphoric acid and potash;
the sixth plat with nitl-egeri and pot
ash; the seventh plat with nitrogen
and phosphoric acid; the eighth plat
with nitrogen', phosplfiric acid;
and potash, making q com
pleter fertilizer; .tho ninth
• plat with rock phosphate at the. rate
of 3,000 pounds per acre, and the
tenth plat with rock phosphate and
potash.
Observe that the complete fertilizer
consisted of 100 pounds of muriate ot
potash, .400 pounds of acid phosphato
and ISO pounds of dried blood-making
in all a gross application of 680 ’pounds
per acre.
Comparatively little benefit libs
been obtained from the use of potash-
alofie. Phosphoric acid alone has
been uncertain in its performance and
“used independently would not have
rr..
paid a profit on the application. Ni
trdgen alone .has also been erratic
though It gave better results oh corn
oats and erftton than any other stngl
application, and would 'in most in
Stances have more than paid, for itsoll
When phosphoric add and potasl
were combined better results were ot
tqined than where they wore usei
separately. An increase of as ’mud
as 169’.pounds-of cotton per acre rc
suited fronj this combination. Whe
nitrogen and potash were used tc
gethbr'.a more distinctive increase wa
shown'than with any other combine
tion ub'ed up to this time.
Where a complete fertilizer wa
used'no better results were obtainei
with--corn than with nitrogen am
phosphoric acid. Cotton, however
showed some increase from the appli
cation of -this,'fertilizer, amouritifig iii
an average fqr all' south Georgia t<
303 poundk of‘ seed cotton per acre
anifxm Tiftop. sandy loam 204 poum
per acre. The yield of oats .was i
creased from tjie use of a complet
fertilizer on ail the test qreas in s
Georgia by 7.22'bushels per acre,
on Tiftoiv sandy loam by. 13
per nore. • -
These reauUs would.indicate th
trogen and phosphorite, in the
tic^ mentioned can he liscd wit
it on corn', cotton and -oatr. /
soil types in question, and ala"
oomplete fertilizer can bq « s
advantage..' -
Comparatively little benefit
tai’n’od from the hso of rock
pliate oj-floats’with-any Of tho cr
mentioned. Jhis.is JubI what
might riatm-ally anticipate, for it
been pointed .ojitV repeatedly th
rock phosphnto will'only prove bet
