Classification And Interpretation Of Selected Soil Data From A Tropical Region Of Bolivia, Noemi Sabillon
Classification And Interpretation Of Selected Soil Data From A Tropical Region Of Bolivia, Noemi Sabillon
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
"Half of the uncultivated land of the world, or some 80 million hectars (ha), lies in the humid tropics, where the climatic environment offers a high potential for crop production. If only 2 per-cent of this area were put into cultivation with good management practices, enough food could be produced to feed the present population of Latin America" (Committee on Tropical Soils, National Academy of Sciences, 1972).

Boron Composition Of Alfalfa In Utah As Related To Soils And Irrigation Waters, Robert N. Radtke Jr.
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Eighteen field plots at 15 locations were selected throughout the state to evaluate the status of the boron content in irrigation waters, soils, and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) plant tissue under irrigated conditions.
No boron deficiency symptoms were observed in any of the alfalfa plants at any of these locations, nor were any of the plant tissue boron levels inadequate. Only two locations were found in which the alfalfa plants exibited toxicity symptoms. These locations were along the Indian and Antelope Creeks in Duchesne County which contain high boron levels in the water. All the alfalfa and soil tested …

Ridge-Tillage: Advantages And Disadvantages, David C. Ditsch
Ridge-Tillage: Advantages And Disadvantages, David C. Ditsch
Soil Science News and Views
Ridge-Till is a crop production system that has become increasingly popular with grain producers in some areas of the mid-west. This unique tillage system may provide some Kentucky farmers with an alternative method of planting. Limited information on the adaptability of ridge-till on Kentucky soils and climatic conditions make it important that growers investigate the system thoroughly to determine how it would fit into their operation before deciding to change. Ridge-till involves planting on elevated rows that remain undisturbed after establishment. One or more cultivations are then made during the early part of each growing season to improve weed control, …
Tb119: Selected Relationships For Trace Metals In Maine Low Elevation Spruce-Fir Forest Floors, Ivan J. Fernandez, Miroslaw M. Czapowskyj
Tb119: Selected Relationships For Trace Metals In Maine Low Elevation Spruce-Fir Forest Floors, Ivan J. Fernandez, Miroslaw M. Czapowskyj
Technical Bulletins
Results from the analysis of trace metals in the forest floor from three study areas northern Maine commercial spruce-fir stands showed significant, positive correlations were frequently evident between ash-free concentrations of Individual pairs of trace metals. Only Pb concentrations at one location were found to vary significantly among soil drainage classes. Overall, ash-free trace metal concentrations were less than what has been found at sites receiving high loadings of atmospheric deposition in the Northeast. Few historical data are available to adequately determine if Maine forest floor trace metal concentrations are greater than the natural levels expected in commercial forests, but …
Timing N-P-K Fertilizer To Burley Tobacco, J. L. Sims
Timing N-P-K Fertilizer To Burley Tobacco, J. L. Sims
Soil Science News and Views
Recent changes in the Federal tobacco program (causing reduced income to growers} coupled with high fertilizer and other production costs have stimulated interest in fertilization practices that increase efficiency of tobacco production. Practices that increase yields and/or quality of cured leaf without increasing production costs should result in increased profit. Research conducted by Agronomists at the University of Kentucky indicates increased yield is possible through proper timing of fertilizer applications, split applications, and in some cases by banding applications.
Traction Characteristics Of Prepared Traffic Lanes, Eddie C. Burt, James H. Taylor, Larry G. Wells
Traction Characteristics Of Prepared Traffic Lanes, Eddie C. Burt, James H. Taylor, Larry G. Wells
Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering Faculty Publications
Traction characteristics of lugged and smooth tires were compared on prepared traffic lanes and on conventional seedbed conditions. Results indicated that elevated traffic lanes offer important traction advantages over seedbeds in wet soil conditions. In dry soil conditions, traction on elevated traffic lanes was sometimes less than on the seedbed conditions. A timeliness advantage in mobility for the elevated traffic lanes was found to be up to 2 days in extremely wet conditions. A non-elevated traffic lane showed no traction advantage in wet conditions.

Marketing Kentucky Hay, J. Kenneth Evans
Marketing Kentucky Hay, J. Kenneth Evans
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
That more income is needed by Kentucky farmers is a well established and accepted fact. Although, the tobacco program appears to be yet viable, we have long needed to supplement the tobacco income with income from the remainder of the farm. I think this audience is also well aware of the potential· for producing hay in Kentucky, particularly alfalfa. Estimates in the University of Kentucky potential study indicate that we could have in this state two million acres of alfalfa with a projected potential income of a billion dollars a year generated for our farmers.
This potential income should not …
Optimum Utilization Of Alfalfa In Horses, Stephen G. Jackson
Optimum Utilization Of Alfalfa In Horses, Stephen G. Jackson
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
When considering forage utilization in horses one must consider principally two factors; 1) forage quality and 2) the relationship between voluntary intake of a forage and a particular class of horses nutrient needs.
Optimum Utilization Of Alfalfa In Sheep Rations, G. L.M. Chappell
Optimum Utilization Of Alfalfa In Sheep Rations, G. L.M. Chappell
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
The unique qualities of alfalfa as a forage afford the progressive sheep producer many opportunities to develop efficient sheep feeding programs. As a grazed sward, as hay or silage, alfalfa can be utilized in a variety of ways. The following points should be considered in developing programs using alfalfa.
Maximizing Alfalfa Hay In Beef Feeding Programs, W. Roy Burris, Garry D. Lacefield
Maximizing Alfalfa Hay In Beef Feeding Programs, W. Roy Burris, Garry D. Lacefield
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
Beef cattle comprise the largest group of forage and hay users in Kentucky. Because of their ability to utilize large amounts of low quality roughage, they are sometimes relegated to that role exclusively. There are many instances in beef production when alfalfa hay can be utilized because of its high protein content. The value of alfalfa hay in a beef operation can be estimated by the protein and energy that it furnishes.
Maximizing Alfalfa In Dairy Feeding Programs, Dan O. Riddell
Maximizing Alfalfa In Dairy Feeding Programs, Dan O. Riddell
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
Alfalfa is an excellent feed for dairy cows. When used properly, alfalfa can help cut cost of production and increase level of production. However, like everything else, the feeding of alfalfa needs to be managed to maximize efficient production. There are three key steps involved in maximizing alfalfa in a dairy feeding program. These are:
- harvest alfalfa at the proper stage of maturity
- know what the alfalfa contains and feed accordingly
- get the alfalfa to the cows that need it.

Reducing Hay Losses — From Standing Crop Through Storage, Michael Collins
Reducing Hay Losses — From Standing Crop Through Storage, Michael Collins
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
Alfalfa management for maximum economic productivity is quite complex. Many factors ranging from cultivar selection and establishment to storage and feeding must be considered. In some cases these factors, yield and quality of a particular cutting of forage for example, are negatively correlated. Following good establishment of an adapted cultivar, cutting management has important effects on forage yield, forage quality, stand persistence, weed encroachment and other important responses. Maturity stage at the time of cutting greatly affects quality. After cutting, hay curing, packaging and storage conditions also affect quality. Clearly, in order to achieve the optimum combination of yield and …

The topic ''No-till Alfalfa" was discussed at the V Annual Alfalfa Conference this past February in Elizabethtown. At that conference, we reported results of demonstrations that had been conducted along with preliminary results of some of the research underway. In the presentation today, I would like to review some of the opportunities for no-till alfalfa and discuss some additional research results.
Herbicides For Alfalfa Weed Control, William W. Witt
Herbicides For Alfalfa Weed Control, William W. Witt
Kentucky Alfalfa and Stored Forage Conference
Numerous herbicides are available for controlling weeds in pure or mixed stands of alfalfa. In addition, these herbicides can be applied at different times and stages of alfalfa growth -from prior to planting to actively growing alfalfa to dormant applications during the winter. To be confident of achieving the desired weed control, it is important to apply alfalfa herbicides at the proper growth stage and rate.
The following tables contain information pertinent to proper utilization of the herbicides to obtain maximum weed control.

Effect Of Soil Mineral Variability On Soil Use And Management, Anastasios D. Karathanasis
Effect Of Soil Mineral Variability On Soil Use And Management, Anastasios D. Karathanasis
Soil Science News and Views
Soil mineralogical variability arises from two factors. The mineralogical composition of the parent material and the degree to which the original composition has been modified by external soil forming factors and internal soil building processes during the course of weathering. Different stages of soil weathering are represented by different mineralogical compositions and therefore a different combination of physical and chemical properties. Some soil scientists have divided these weathering stages into fresh, juvenile, virile, senile, and lateritic. The ability of soil to provide nutrients to plants reaches a maximum at the beginning of the virile stage and then declines rapidly with …
