ASPARAGUS FERTILIZATION

The fertilization of the aspara-
gus acreage is a problem which
many growers have asked about.
Very little work has been done in
this state or even in the United
States on asparagus fertilization
the crop being a comparatively
new one as far as commercial
growing is concerned.
Asparagus is fairly heavy
feeder and as a rule is grown on
rather light types of soils which
are apt to be deficient in fertili-
ty. The light type of soil serves
TO Drlng the crop on early. In the
past this type of soil has been
maintained generally by heavy ap-
pllcat1ons of manure and most of
the recommendations for the fer.
tlllzers of the asparagus field has
been heavy applications of manure
with occasionally commercial fer
tlllzers being used with it. Thomp-
sons next text on vegetable crops
published in 1923. points out that
the use OF commercial fertilizers
has been found to give as good
results as manure and almost as
good as results as where manure
and commercial fertilizers have
been used together. Massachusetts
Experiment Station has done some
work on this problem and the two
men working have found that ma
nure is not essential to asparagus
even on the sandy soils. This has
been pointed out even from the
standpoint of need of humus on
the light type of soil. The fact
That the asparagus plant produces
new set of roots from year to
year and the old set decays serves
to maintain the humus supply and
when the deposits are put back
out of the soil as should always
be done where manure is not APP
piled, it has been found very prac
ticaly to maintain the fertiliza-
ton by using the commercial fer
tilizer alone. A 1-20 acre plot fer
tilted with 10 tons of manure per
acre yielded 1886 lbs, while an adj
joining plot fortified with COM
mercial fertilizer yielded 1866 lbs.
5 per cent ammonia, z per cent
A commercial fertilizer carrying
phosphoric acid, and per cent of
potash seems to be a fertilizer
which has given good results in
the East. just what should be
used here will have to be deter
mined over period of time and
the above composition of fertili-
ger should be used merely as a
guide to work from. Nitrate of
soda or amonium sulphate may
make up the nitrogen content. SUI
perphosphate is satisfactory for
the phosphoric acid and muriate
of potash should be used in place
of the sulphate for the potash con-
tent. Many recommendations have
been made on the application of
salt to the asparagus field but a
careful check of this against COM
mercial fertilizer seems to show
that if any beneficial results come
from the salt it is due to chlorine
content and the muriate of potash
will furnish. The usual amount of
three fertilizers applied are AGO
