Effects of potassium, magnesium, and sulfur fertilization on corn grain and silage yields in a high nutrient soilBadra, Abdo January 1990 (has links)
The effects of added potassium, K, magnesium, Mg and sulfur, S on corn grain and silage yields were investigated in the field for two years. / Due to high nutrient soil, K, Mg and S had no effects on corn grain and silage yields. However, there were trends observed in the treatment effects that were significant. Added K at 240 kg K$ sb2$O/ha increased grain yield over zero kg K$ sb2$O/ha in 1983 and Mg at 60 kg/ha increased grain yield over 30 kg/ha in 1984. In silage, 240 kg K$ sb2$O/ha increased yield over 120 and zero kg K$ sb2$O/ha in 1984. Although there was no K by Mg interaction, there was a need for added Mg to achieve higher yields. / The cumulative effect of fertilizer S at 50 kg/ha significantly reduced silage yield in 1984 over zero S treatment indicating that fertilizer S was unnecessary for corn growth by reason of high levels of soil S and sufficient S provided from precipitation and air dry deposition. S had no interaction with K and Mg because there was no need for fertilizer S to increase yields. / The antagonistic association between K and Mg was seen at the seedling, tasseling and silking stages. / There was an indication of a K by S interaction which was expressed at different stages of growth, but this effect was not evident for dry matter yields.

Interactive effects of a calcium and magnesium sulphate enriched waste water on crop growth and nutritionStrohmenger, Petronella Hermina Elizabeth 30 March 2006 (has links)
The coal industry of Mpumalanga Province is faced with the problem of developing cost effective ways of using large volumes of calcium and magnesium sulphate enriched waste waters. Use of the waste waters for agricultural production may contribute as a stabilising factor with regard to yields in this high potential agricultural area. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of such waste waters on yield and to compare crop response to calcium and magnesium sulphate salinity at different nutrient levels. Two separate glasshouse experiments were conducted. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. SST 825) was grown in calcium and magnesium sulphate salinised nutrient solutions (Ca:Mg 2: 1) with differential levels of NO3, NH4, P and K. A soil pot experiment was subsequently conducted with maize (Zea mays, cv. PAN 6256), three gypsum and magnesium sulphate salinity levels and a 6 x 2 x 3 factorial combination of N, P and K. Calcium and magnesium sulphate salinity decreased the biomass production of both crops. This was mainly due to interactions of Mg with the uptake of essential nutrients in wheat and a Mg toxicity andlor Ca deficiency induced by high levels of Mg andlor SO4 in maize. The application of NO3, NH4, and K at rates different from the level considered beneficial for non-saline conditions improved wheat growth under sulphate saline conditions. Strongly inhibitory salinity levels controlled the maize yield of the highest salinity treatment regardless of the level of fertiliser application. A beneficial effect of higher NH4 supply was observed in both experiments. This can be ascribed to the antagonistic effect that NH4 exerted on Mg concentrations in plants (both experiments) and SO4 (soil pot experiment) and/or to a higher N-utilization efficiency where N was supplied as NH4 compared to NO3. Differential application levels of P had no effect on the yield of wheat. Phosphorus concentrations in maize were marginal to low, even at extremely high soil Bray I-P levels. This was probably caused by the precipitation of P as insoluble calcium phosphate complexes in the soil andlor between the free space of the cortex cells of plant roots. These results could also indicate that the Bray I extraction method does not give a true reflection of plant available P in sulphate saline soil. Further experimentation is needed to verify these results under field conditions and determine the optimal rate, method and timing of especially NH4 and PO4 fertilisers when irrigating crops with these calcium and magnesium sulphate enriched waste waters. / Dissertation (MSc (Plant Production and Soil Science))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Plant Production and Soil Science / unrestricted
