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.

Sulphur
Some of you are being
asked to use sulphur. 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.
