Mr. Lorne Thrower Farm, home news Continued from page 10A stration evaluated the im- pact of continuous corn. (Each year of corn gave about a 6 percent yield decrease over 6 years - using 3 hybrids.) A summary of corn rootworm trials showed an average yield increase of 14 bushel per acre by treating for corn rootworm. To me all this points out there are big yields to be gained by working at trials, looking at hybrids, tillage, insect control and crop rotations. You can make faster gains in these three areas than fooling around with micronutrients. In fact you will probably be further ahead by taking the money you would spend on micronutrients and spend it on'things for your wife for Christmas or go on a holiday - at least you will have some benefits. Another reason for my concern is that you are often given the impression that your declining yields are due, to micronutrient deficiency. If you a in continuous cropping y'u are especially vulnerable. You don't want to admit that you should rotate your crops. You are hoping you can do something else (add micronutrients) and get your yields back up. You can't. You have to get back to crop rotations.

Again. This is because the research behind the recommendations comes from another country. That country obviously does not have an acid rain problem. Furthermore, the salesmen have obviously not heard of acid rain. These salesmen are recommending low rates of sulphur an- nually. We don't need sulphur. A recent study in Southern Ontario showed we annually get, at least, 25 lbs. per acre sulphur from the air. Why would we ever want to put more on, as fertilizer? Excessive soil levels of sulphur could be a problem in the future, even if we don't apply any to the soil. Canadian lab testing for micro nutrients The soil test lab at the University of Guelph will do a test for soil levels of manganese and zinc. And of course, they still do the leaf analysis if you want to tissue test. Epilogue on micronutrients Recently I was talking with one of the big fertilizer company representatives about their fertiliz er program, I was told that one reason micronutrients are added is to make their fer- tilizer different from the competition. Thus they can ask a price for a starter fertiliz er with micronutrients and they know you cannot comparison shop. The other companies' blend will be different enough to make you not compare prices. This is the same reason dealers would rather sell- you a blended fertilizer rather than a mix of 50 percent 18 - 46 - 0; 50 percent 0 - 0 - 60. If they sell you a mix of the two products you will comparison shop among dealers. By: Pat Lynch, Soils & Crop Specialist John Heard, Assistant Agr.
