Soil Tests
Fertilizer recommendations
given to Georgia farmers on
the basis of soil test results are
based on hundreds of field
trials over various parts of the
State and Southern regions.
Taken into consideration in
the analysis are soil require
ment, the fact that soils have
different abilities to permit
leaching of nutrients, and that
plants differ widely in nutri
ents requirement. Other soil
properties such as texture,
structure, cation, exchange,
capacity and so forth are fac
tors considered.
Using soil test recommenda
tions is away to be sure you
are using the right kind and
amount of lime and fertilizer.
Greater returns per dollar
spent will be realized from this
investment.

drop 10 cents or more below

Nematodes
Nematodes cost farmers mil
lions of dollars each year
through yield reductions and
sometimes a complete loss of
crops in certain fields. It is
conservatively estimated that
the nematodes get about 10 per
cent of the crop farmers grow.
Nematocides are helping
greatly in nematode control.
They help the plant to better
utilize the amounts of fertilizer
applied to them.
Liquid nematocides — first to
come on the control scene —
proved to be rather expensive
and could not be used on crops
from which low cash receipts
were received. However, with
the advent of a granular nem
atocide — one called nemagon
—economical control of nema
todes on medium value crops
became a reality.
The granular chemical can
be mixed with fertilizer and
applied at, or before, planting
time. It can be used on such
crops as cotton, okra, beans, to
matoes, cantaloupes, water
melons, cucumbers and many
others. It cannot be used on to
bacco, pepper, white potatoes,
sweet potatoes, onions, and
garlic.
If you believe nematode in
festations may be in some of
your fields, submit plant speci
mens and soil samples to the
Plant Disease Clinic at t h e
University of Georgia. This can
be arranged through our office.
Plan Seed Buying
One of the main reasons that
we have an abundance of food
products is due to the high
quality of seeds planted. The
better the quality seed the bet
ter the plant, usually. A great
deal of work is done by seed
breeders on quality seed pro
duction and now would be a
good time to be thinking about
sources of all types of seed to
plant.
Remembers during your se
lection to check and see from
what area your seed source
come. It is wise to keep in mind
that seed from a source pro
duced under climatic conditions
similar to those in which the
new seed crop v.ill be planted
generally grow better. If I can
offer you any suggestions don’t
hesitate to call on me.
