Maganesium Shortages Shown In
Soil Tests For Vegetables
Shortages of magnesium, an
essential plant nutrient, have
been found among vegetable
crops in 52 of Pennsylvania’s 67
counties, it was reported at The
Pennsylvania State University
recently during the annual Lime
and Fertilizer conference
- Such magnesium shortages
can now be detected better in a
new improved soil, testing proce
dure available from Penn State
at no extra cost over the usual
charge for analyzing potassium
and phosphorus, stated Ernest
L Bergman, of the Agricultur
al Experiment Station
Scope-of magnesium shortages
was evident in a survey of 1500
soil samples wherein 27 percent
were deficient in magnesium, 17
percent were low in magnesium,
and 5 percent were extremely
deficient The other soil samples
were either sufficient or high in
magnesium levels
In most experiments, yields
of snap beans were increased
where magnesium was applied
before planting When 76 pounds
of magnesium were applied per
acre, snap bean yields increased
by 675 pounds per acre over
fields where no magnesium was
used. Where only 38 pounds of
magnesium were applied per
acre, yields increased by 110
pounds.
Two important things
when borrowing money
You need a sharp pencil plus the specialized financial advlc®
of Farm Credit to determine how your financial needs can
best be served. Farm production must be maintained, even
Increased if possible. Providing the financing toinsure this is
Farm Credit’s job. Farm Credit loans are available nowforany
sound farm need. And, at realistic rates. Farm
Credit interest is based on the unpaid balance
of the loan. That saves you money. -^77^

Dr. Bergman said crops such
as cauliflower, broccoli, pota
toes, raspberries, and sweet corn
need more magnesium to pro
duce good' quality, high yields
than generally realized. Dam
age from too much magnesium
is practically unknown, he
claimed. High rates of magnesi
um help vegetable plants devel
op large healthy root systems
and produce vigorous, green
plants
Snap bean seeds of different
varieties were found to contain
large differences in magnesium
content. While growth was some
times slowed in early stages, no
differences in growth existed
later when the plants received
adequate levels of magnesium
