The bottom line was that you can get 13 to 30 percent more. plant (by weight) al the 4 to 6 leaf stage by applying phosphate with the seed. This was on soil that. according to the Ontario soil test, did not need phosphorus. However, two big points you 1) Evshouldenknow:uthogh there was more plant at the4 to 6 leaf stage these 'plants did not yield more. 2) This increase in plant height was gained by apply- ing 16 kg/ha of phosphorus with the seed. Higher rates of phosphate did not yield more plant at the 4 to 6 leaf stage or at harvest. . v me the summary of this indicates if you have soil tested and the soil tests in- dicate no need for phosphorus, 20 to 30 kg/ha of phosphorus as a starter will have the same effect as 80 to 90 kg/ha. The plant can only use so much. I also feel that if 20 to 30 kg/ha of phosphorus at plan- ting will give a bigger corn plant at the 4 to 6 leaf stage it is worth it. Even if the research indicates you do not increase the yield. • 'Soil testing service Last year we helped to line up farmers who wanted their soil tested with students who were willing to soil test. The students charged 35 cents to .40 cents -per acre. They sampled about 10,000 acres. ' We are trying to do the same this year. Arrange to have students soil test your farms. The'rate that we are suggesting is the same as last year. To date there are about 4,000 acres lined up to be tested. • Pat Lynch, Soil and Crop -Specialist John Heard,' Assistant Agr. Rep'.
