acre to 100.6 bushels. The succeeding wheat crop also benefited. The wheat following thenon-phosphate corn crop yielded only 5.7 bushels per acre; while th*t following the corn crop which was fertilised with phosphate yielded 15.7.
Although heavier applications of phosphate resulted in still higher yields, the difference was noli enough to make the heavy application economical. ~
Response to potash was slight in both corn and wheat, because of the high potash content of the soil.
Highest corn yield in the test was 111.2 bushels . . . with 400 pounds of phosphate and 192 pounds of potash, but Luts points out that this is only slightly more than the yield attained with the lower level of phosphate and no potash.
Nitrogen applications were constant . . . 150 pounds per acre on all plots.
The test was conducted on lowphosphate soils on ‘‘Brush Mountain" a few miles from Blacksburg. The fertilizer in all cases was applied on the corn.
