Agronomy Notes, no. 32

Silo Fillers Disease, caused by nitrogen dioxide, was discussed in a joint Agronomy and Pharmacology release. Dr. Mark Luckens, College of Pharmacy, has prepared strips of potassium iodide - starch test paper to assist in detecting this deadly gas in silos and feeding areas. These strips are small (5/8 x - 2 ) and change to a blue color when in contact with nitrogen dioxide. We have 300 strips available for use by County Agents

Barley - Oat Varieties, 1963

Selection of barley and oat varieties is important to growers of these small grains. Tests are conducted across Kentucky by the University of Kentucky Agronomy Department to determine yield, winter hardiness, disease resistance, standability, and other characteristics important to efficient production. Planting dates are more important for these two crops than for wheat and rye because of winter freeze damage. The best planting dates for barley and oats run from September 1 to September 20. Later plantings are made in Kentucky but are subject to more damage from cold weather. Increased planting rates in barley tend to improve yield in case of delayed seeding

Nitrogen Rates and Population Studies on Corn

John Watts and C. E. Wyatt, Extension Agronomists in the Purchase Area, have conducted nitrogen rates and population studies on corn for several years. The following data relative to these variables are reported from the 1967 tests

Airplane-Seeded Wheat – Aid to Double Cropping

Airplane-seeding of wheat has been increasing since its start in 1965 in Fulton County, Kentucky. Over 20,000 acres were seeded in the fall of 1968, with the acreage concentrated in the Purchase and Bowling Green areas. Farmers report these advantages for aerial seedings: (1) early establishment of small grain; (2) similar seeding cost as compared to drilling; (3) labor use in normal seeding operations diverted to other farm operations

Field Trials with Zinc on Corn

Zinc deficiency in corn has been found in isolated instances in Kentucky during the past few years. Usually the deficiency is found in fields having a high pH or in high-phosphate soils with somewhat lower pH values. At present zinc deficiency in Kentucky soils does not appear widespread enough to justify recommending its application except where known deficiencies exist
