A soil test shows how to
fertilize potato fields prop
erly, advises Elmer C. Pifer,
extension agronomist at the
Penn State University. Too
often, he claims, growers ap
ply too much or too little
nitrogen, phosphorus or pot
assium to the soil. He urges
potato growers to be wary
of fertilizing by guess and
suggests regular soil tests.
