Tom Hallahan was able to Manure: Too much of a good thing Farmyard manure is an ex- cellent fertilizer for crop pro- duction. Most of our manure disposal problems could be sol- ved effectively and economically if it were considered an asset, rather than a liability as it so often is. However, with the in- creasing intensity of livestock operations on fewer acres of land, there is the distinct poss- ibility of "over-manuring". Research with manure over a 10-year period at the Ridge- town College of Agricultural Technology showed a very rapid increase in potassium levels in the soil. Results indicate that more than adequate levels of soil potassium might result where annual applications of manure are made. During this trial, corn was grown continuously and each year 15 tons per acre of steer man- ure was applied. The potassium levels in soil increased three- fold over the 10-year period. When this research was initiated in 1959, the soil test values were rated as medium. Ten years later the potassium rating was very high. The phosphorus in the man- ure application was adequate for corn production and the soil test levels for phosphorus did not change over the 10-year period. Where manure was applied each year, the average corn yield was 112 bushels per acre. The addition of commercial fert- ilizer with the manure did not result in a further yield increase. The most desirable fertiliz- ation program for many crops might eventually be one that corn- bines a farmyard manure applic- ation with commercial fertilizer. In this way high yields will be obtained without increasing the soil nutrient levels beyond what is desirable. Sudh a system then must take into account the kind and quality of the manure applied, so it can be correctly supple- mented With commercial fertil- izer. :return home from the. Winghamg and District.
