010-Lancaster Farming Saturday, July 23, 1988 Six Grad Students Selected For J. Field ATLANTA, GA Six out standing graduate students have been named as 1988 winners of the “J. Fielding reed PPI Fellowships” awarded by the Potash & Pho sphate Institute (PPI). Grants of $2,000 each are presented to the individuals. All are candidates for either the Master of Science (M .S.) or the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in soil fertility and related sciences. The 1988 recipients were cho sen from nearly 50 applicants who sought the Fellowships. The six are: • Jessica G. Davis-Raincy, Tex as A&M University, College Sta tion, Texas; • Matthew J.Eick, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware; • Seth H. Frisbie, Cornell Uni versity, Ithaca, New York; • Stuart J. Georgitis, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana; • Brian J. Lang, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota; Richard P. Wolkowski, Univer sity of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin. “We arc very pleased to offer this recognition and encourage ment for an elite group of young scientists. All of the applicants for the fellowships have impressive records,” said Dr. R.E. Wagner, President of PPI and the Founda tion for Agronomic Research (FAR). “These individuals and their education institutions can be justly proud.” Scholastic record, excellence in original research, and leadership are among the important criteria evaluated for the Fellowships. Fol lowing is a brief summary of infor mation for each of the winners: Jessica O. David-Raincy is a candidate for the Ph.D. (Doctoral) degree in soil fertility at Texas A&M University. Her research program involves root distribution of sorghum and millet as influenced by fertilization and soil physical and chemical properties She conducted research in West Africa and has gathered consider able data on intercropping and the soil-rool-nutricnt system. Previ ously, Davis-Ramcy completed a B.S. degree at Cornell University and a M.S degree at Texas Tech University, where Dr. H.M Taylor was her major professor. She gra duated from Abmgton (Pennsylva nia) High School and has an out standing record academically and in other activities Dr. L R Hoss ncr serves as chairman of her Ph D research advisory committee Matthew J. Eick is pursuing the M.S. degree at the University ol Delaware. His research program is concerned with the effect of salini ty on polasium (K) reactions in For QUALITY...PARTS... SERVICE...

Data from Israeli and Delaware soils will be used with plant uptake and yield data to model the effects of saline (salt) water on K availability and mobility. This information shduld have implications for quality of water in crop irrigation in many areas of the world. Eick earned his B.S. in Agronomy-Soil Science at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, graduating with honors (cum laude). A native of New Jersey, he has also been a leader in various community and charitable groups. His program of research is under the direction of Dr. D.L. Sparks. Seth H. Frisbie is seeking the Ph.D, degree in soil fertility at Cor nell University. His research is addressing the loss of nitrogen (N) by ammonia volatilization. His hypothesis is that, with proper organic mailer management, the loss of N due to ammonia volatiza tion can be significantly reduced. Sub-Soil Chisel Plow Penetrates to 16 Inches The husky, curved shanks of the Sub-Soiler dig down as deep as 16 inches, shattering compacted layers of plow sole and lifting the hardpan while it is being broken. Once the soil opened, moisture gets down to newly created loose soil; root systems are no longer restricte and better drainage results. What makes the BRILLION Sub better? Check these features: h shank mountings (shear pin prot with lateral adjustment; replaceai wear strips to prolong shank lii rugged, wide chisel points; cro braces on all models for extra strength and optional gauge whei Available in two frame sizes, four models with 5,7, 9 or 11 shanks.

A native of Massa chusetts, he graduated with honors from the University of Massa chusetts at Amherst and currently is a member of three national hon or societies. His Ph.D. work is under the direction of Dr. D.R. Bouldin. Stuart J. Georgius is working toward the Ph.D. degree in soil ler lilily at Montana Stale University. His program concerns improve ment of soil testing methodology for K, phosphorus (P), and sulphur (S) by development of a multi element extraction technique-the phyloavailabihty soil test (PST) Such a technique could be a more reliable and practical tool in soil analysis and should also serve as a scientific tool for understanding soil-plant interactions and ion movement m soils A native of CONTACT YOUR BRILLION DEALER FOR DETAILS: PENNSYLVANIA M.S YEARSLEY A SONS West Chester Box 456, Ademetown miller equip co Rt 1 Bechteleville C H REMHMER A SONS RO 1.

Lang is a candidate for the Ph.D. degree in agronomy plant physiology at the University of Minnesota. His research is directed at understanding the roles of K, harvest management and cul- Uvar in dinitrogcn fixation and winter survival of alfalfa. The hypothesis is that the degree ol dinitrogcn fixation may aflcct the coldhardmcss and winter survival of the plant. In a related study, he will determine the cflcct of culli var and K fertilization on pholo synlhatc partitioning of alfalia dur ing cold acclimation.

Richard P. Wolkowski is pursu ing the Ph.D. degree in soil science at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. His research project is investigating soil compaction and plant nutrient interactions. He is seeking to assess the effects of soil compaction on the plant availabili ty of nutrients and the crop response to applied N, P and K. Results indicate that detrimental effects (reduced corn yields) from soil compaction may be partly offset by fertility management, particularly row-applied K. Wolk owski recently relinquished his staff appointment in Cooperative Extension in order to devote full time to his Ph.D. program. He earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees at the University of Wisconsin. His Ph.D. work is under the supervi sion of Dr. Larry G. Bundy.
