Unless phosphorus and potash
are added, the money saved m
using poultry manure will be lost
in lower than normal crop yields,
Dr Bergman stated recently at
the annual meeting of the Penn
sylvania Vegetable Growers
Association at University Park.
Bergman said considerable
numbers of vegetable producers
are also poultrymen or have
ready access to poultry manure.
Yields of tomatoes were used
as an example, from studies at
the horticultural research farm
of the Agricultural Experiment
Station at Penn State. Best yields
of tomatoes were obtained by
using 1,700 pounds of dried
poultry manure per acre, sup
plemented with 500 pounds of
phosphorus per acre and 300
pounds of magnesium per acre.
These applications produced over
21 tons of tomatoes per acre—one
ton greater than yields from
strictly commercial fertilizer
without magnesium.
The vegetable grower
poultryman gains nothing by
putting on very high rates of
dried poultry manure, hoping to
offset the lack of phosphorus and
magnesium, Dr. Bergman
pointed out. He said such a
practice may upset the nutrient
balance by adding too much
nitrogen. The usual recom
mendation for field tomatoes is
100 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
Phosphorus, potash, and
magnesium applications, as well
as liming, are based on soil tests.
of fast starts, that will produce
thicker, more uniform stands. The
special formulation of secondary
elements and micronutrients sup
plies the vitality needed for mid
season growth and for early, uni
form maturity that makes harvest
ing easier. All this adds up to more
profit for you.
Remember, it takes more than
Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash
to increase corn yields and quality
. . . and Agrico puts what it takes
in TCF for Corn . . . the right bal
ance of secondary elements and
micronutrients. See us today for
the Agrico TCF for Corn formu
lated for the needs of your soil.

Dr. Bergman says it is im
portant to know the moisture
level of the dried poultry manure
Nutrient content of the manure
changes with adjustments m
moisture level In the trials by
Dr Bergman and associates, the
15 per cent moisture content
supplied a product equal to 6-4-3

Recent developments in
poultry manure drying by Dr
Glenn O Bressler at Penn State
have made it possible to reduce
the bulk weight of poultry
