FERTILIZERS FOR WHEAT

The lack of proper fertilization Is
often the cause of poor yield of wheat
on Delaware soils. While the hrst
consideration is the thorough prep
aration of the soil through crop ro-
tation and good tillage, certain apph-
cations of plant food are necessary
on most farms to secure the best yield
of grain. The use of legume crops
and manure in the rotation lessons the
demands for fertilizers carrying
large per cent of nitrogen.
The kind and amount of fertilizers
that may be used with the greatest
profit will depend on the previous
cropping of the land and its natural
fertility. No rule can be laid down
as to what fertilizer formula is best
for wheat on all farms. However,
there are some general principles
which apply to the fertilizer require
ment of wheat On Delaware soil
wheat responds readily to a liberal use
OF phosphoric acid Experiments at
this Station show that phosphoric acid
when used alone prOducesNa greater
increse in the yield of wheat than
either nitrogen or potash used singly,
indicating that the soil is deficient in
phosphOric acid.
This does not mean that nitrogen
and potash are not necessary for the
best results. 1t is only when the three.
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
are supplied in the proper amounts
either by the soil or by the grower that
the maximum yield will be secured.
On poor soils it will be necessary to
supply all three elements of plant food. I
Where the land has been carefully
rotated with legumes, or where a le-
gume such as cOwpeas precedes the .
wheat crop only phOsphoric acid and
potash are greatly needed. If the soil
has not been kept in a good state of
fertility by rotation, the liberal use
Of nitrogen will pay, and if wheat is
to follow, phosphoric acid alone is
sufficient if seeded early. Late seeded
wheat should always have more nj
rogen in order for it to make enough
growth in the fall to pass the winter
n good condition. If cowpeas are
urned under phosphoric acid alone
will probably give the best returns.
Where it is possible to plow land
or wheat early, or to follow some
.arly maturing crop such as factory
Deas or early potatoes, less nitrogen
S necessary in the fertilizer as the
allowing of a soil well supplied with
rganic matter through several weeks
ends to make available the soil nj
rOgen. 1t is well to apply 200 to 300
BIS. of acid phosphate per acre under
uch conditions. If manure is avail
bic for the wheat land spread it on
