USD A Targets Export WASHINGTON. D.C. Sec retary of Agriculture Edward Madigan announced allocations under the Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP) to help exporters of U.S. milk powder, butterfat and Cheddar cheese compete on the world market. “This program helps U.S. dairy farmers, processors, manufactur ers and exporters gain access to foreign markets and compete against subsidized competition,” Country/ Region Algeria Brazil China Cyprus French Guiana Guyana Jordan Morocco Pakistan Seychelles Tunisia Venezuela AFRICA How Calcium Nitrate fertilizer can Improve the yield and q of cole crops Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spr and collards are typically grown u\ cool soil, short season conditions, fertilizer must perform accordingly. Precise nitrogen control is vital to optimum growth Calcium Nitrate provides fast acting nitrate nitrogen —the key to nitrogen control in short season crops. Calcium Nitrate goes to work immediately, even under cool soil conditions. The result is controlled, uniform crop nutrition. Nitrate nitrogen has many advantages over ammonium nitrogen Nitrate nitrogen is immediately available for plant use; ammonium fertilizers, however, must convert to nitrate. This conversion takes time and can vary depending on soil tem perature, moisture, aeration and soil pH. Uneven or delayed nitrogen availability can result in erratic nitrogen feeding during the season and can affect crop growth, matu rity and quality. In addition, urea or ammonium nitrogen fertilizers lower soil pH. This does not occur with Calcium Nitrate. A nitrate source of nitrogen can produce desirable crop response, as shown in the data below: Effect of N-Source and Rate on Cauliflower Head Weight FR&H WT & H&bs (TOUNDS) Ammonium Nitrate .10 .17 .38 .44 .54 .33 Ammonium Sulfate .10 18 .22 .26 .35 .22 Catetem Nttrate .19 .25 .38 .52 .58 .38 Urea .10 27 .27 .41 .40 .29 Average 12 22 .31 41 .47 30 Control FROM Pimptni, F.afa1.1971 Oartenbau-WitMnschaft 36(18).1-17, - .jr jr; iV'fl See Your Fertilizer Dealer said Madigan. “It’s an opportunity for the U.S. dairy industry to demonstrate the quality of its pro ducts to foreign buyers.” Export sales will be facilitated through the payment of bonuses by the U.S. Department of Agri culture’s Commodity Credit Cor poration.
