PROGRESS REPORT OF FERTILIZER RESEARCH IN OREGON FOR 1954
Fertilizer Trials in Klamath and Lake Counties 1
Following is a report covering the results obtained from field fertilizer
trials together with an interpretation of the results for each plot. The field
plots cover a wide range of soil conditions including organic soils (mucks) and
mineral soils (largely sandy foams or clay foams) of both acid and alkaline reaction. The results tabulated in this report are being used, along with previous
years results, to determine the general fertility status of the soils of the area
and to determine a satisfactory program for fertilizer use.
Along with the field fertilizer trials, the practice of taking soil samples
from each location was continued in 1954, The samples have been or are being
tested by the Soil Testing Laboratory at Oregon State College so that the general
soil test values for the whole area can be assembled,
This work was carried out under the direction of A. R. Halvorson, Assistant
Superintendent in charge of soils research work, Klamath Experimental Area.
Dr. Halvorson resigned his position on September 30 and the remainder of the year's
work was completed by D. S. Stevenson, Research Assistant, Klamath Experimental
Area and Soils Department, Oregon State College. The report was prepared by D.
S. Stevenson.
COOPERATORS
1. Klamath Experimental Area, A, E. Gross, Superintendent.
2. Farmers of Klamath and Lake counties who provided space in their fields
for the trials. In some cases they alsoirovided some assistance in establishing
or harvesting the plots.
3, Extension Service, Klamath and Lake Counties assisted in Contracting
farmer cooperators.
4. Commercial companies - providing fertilizer materials
Simplot Fertilizer Comrsny
American Cyanamid Company
American Potash Institute
Wilson and George Meyer and Company
American Potash Institute
Monsanto Chemical Company
Pacific Guano Company
5. William Rogers of Klamath Indian Agency who put out the Crume (Sprague
River) trial.
6. Tulana Farms who not only provided space on their lands but made a
generous financial contribution to the experimental work.

Li accordance with a slight change in policy toward fertility work in the
Klamath area quite a number of the experiments set out this year are to be of a
permanent or semi-permanent nature. This is being done because from several
previous years of work the general requirements in terms of what fertility elements are needed are pretty well established but the residual or long term effects
are as yet unknown. This, of course4plies more than ordinary cooperation from
farmers. The cooperation has been most generously given.
A list of the fertilizer trials covered in this report is given below.

Cropping History: Continuous grain, no fertilizer
Method of fertilizer application - broadcast, disced in (spring 1953)
Interpretation of Results:
As with last year no significant results were obtained. There was
apparently no carry-over effect. However, large amounts of quack
grass scattered throughout the plots rendered the results somewhat
unreliable this year. It is difficult to understand why the yields
in 1954 were so much higher than in 1953 but whatever the reason it
is something other than a fertilizer effect.
Note:
Last year's summary indicated 125 lbs and 250 lbs/acre of HnSO4 for
treatments 3 and 4. This is an error - the correct treatments are
25 lbs and 50 lbs.

Method of Fertilizer application - according to treatment
Interpretation of Results: The treatment effects were non-significant although
it is quite apparent that nitrogen is somewhat limiting under the dryland conditions. It made little difference whether the nitrogen was
applied on the surface or plowed under. The yields on the whole are
quite low but this was due in part to the very dry season and in part
to a relatively light stand of grain. Breaking the yield results down
into the gypsum and no gypsum treatments it appeared that the gypsum
actually decreased the yield somewhat but the real reason for this was
the rather unfortunate choice of plot site in which a slight waterway
cut almost all the way through the'two replications which carried gyp_ sum. The grain in this waterway was extremely poor.

Cropping History: newly reclaimed native meadow and marshland.
Method of Fertilizer application: Banded just below the seed.
Interpretation of Results: Nitrogen alone induced a significant depression. However with phosphate nitrogen was required to produce the highest yields.
Phosphate alone at the higher rate gave a significant response but potash, gypsum and the minor elements showed ho response, at least with the
N P or P alone treatments. The N P relationship is interesting and is
being checked further in the greenhouse this winter of 1954-1955. It
is worthwhile noting that with the highest yields the bushel weight also
tends to improve.

Method of fertilizer application: Banded 304 inches deep, crop seeded over bands
Interpretation of Results: The treatments effects, although in some cases con- •
siderable, were not significant (F value = 1.76 for 3 replications),
but there are definite indications that nitrogen is limiting. The high
rate of nitrogen gave the greatest yield. There are no indications
that phosphorous or potash is needed. The quality of the oats from a
bushel weight standpoint is poor but this may be a seasonal rather
than a fertility effect.

Interpretation of Results: Potato yields and more especially potato quality have
not been quite satisfctory in this location. Earlier more extensive
fertilizer trials have failed to indicate what the trouble might be.
This trial was set out to determine if high wates of phosphate might
show some response. However, the results show that the phosphate has
no effect. The potatoes, when graded, showed no pattern of quality
improvement whatever. The soil test values for phosphorous indicate
that phosphorous is very definitely lacking but by itself it does not
appear to have any effect. There is one possible clue which should
perhaps be looked into further and that is that on an alfalfa plot in
the same general aren (Howe 1954) the only indication of any response
whatever came from a western source superphosphate which we know contains considerable quantities of minor element impurities especially
zinc.

Cropping History:

Previous - native mountain meadow - never fertilized
Interpretation of Results:
The results this year are very similar to those of last year. It
should be noted that there were only two cuttings as compared with
three last year, which would tend to make the 1954 yields somewhat
lower than the 1953 yields. Whether there is any significant
differences between years has hot be determined; the analysis
for 1954 was done separately. All treatments gave highly significant responses except potash alone and gypsum alone.
The fence and plot stakes were removed by the operator and the plots
grazed off before the third cutting could be made. For this reason
the plots will have to be abandoned.

Interpretation of Results: The stand of grasses was not uniform enough to show
any possible effects from fertilizer treatments.
This was the main reason why only one cutting was

They increased on a directional basis diagonally
across all plots rather than according to treatments.
There are no significant differences and no trends
appearing.

Interpretation of results:
One replication was sprayed out with 2-4D which virtually precluded
any possibility of significance from the treatment. The only indication of a treatment effect comes from the Simplot brand of superphosphate which, in the light of the work done here on eastern and
western phosphate and the minor elements contained therein, may be
a clue to a minor element problem in the area where this plot is
located. This will, if at all possible, be investigated further.

Interpretation of Results:
Because of the wide variation within treatments no significant

that the alfalfa is responding to phosphate, which is what we
might expect in view of the low test values for phosphate.
Another year of results from the same plots may show some significant responses.

Interpretation of Results:
Nitrogen seems definitely to be the first fertility factor limiting production although the rate of application made little difference until the
relatively high rate was reached. In the light of the plot results and the
soil test values, phosphate is probably also somewhat limiting or is likely
to become so. Although the highest yields resulted from the high nitrogen
even without phosphate, the phosphate tended to sustain relatively high
yields when the nitrogen rate was dropped. Actually the whole area generally
including-the check is an example of excellent production of relatively high
quality barley, as good as or better than any to be found in the Klamath
Basin. The farmer in this case is not likely to become too excited over
an extensive fertilizer program, at least for the time being.

Cropping History: 1952 alsike clover, Previopsly a potato-grain-clover rotation
with heavy application of 16-20-0 on potatoes.
Method of fertilizer application - banded at planting time (1953)
Interpretation of Results:
There were no significant carryover effects whatever. We can hardly expect
any nitrogen carryover and with the medium to high phosphorus soil test values it
is improbably that the phosphate would have any carryover effect. The production
of potatoes has not been profitable in this location but the yield of barley
under irrigation is very good. The quality of the barley for malting purposes at
least from a bushel weight standpoint is not good. This may or may not be an
effect of the irrigation but the ultimate goal should be high yield and good
quality. This actually was achieved in another location where barley fertilizer
plots were set out in 1954 (WM. Marshall Irrigated barley).

Interpretation of Results:
There was no irrigation x nitrogen interaction, no significant response
from irrigation but the nitrogen treatments were significant. The difference
between the low rate and the medium rate of irrigation was negligible. The only
apparent combined effect of nitrogen and moisture was shown in the bushel weights.
The high moisture without nitrogen showed a marked improvement in bushel weight
over the general level, but with added nitrogen the bushel weights dropped off
rater sharply. With the medium level of moisture the bushel weights again dropped
off with the addition of nitrogen but not quite so sharply. At the low level
of moisture there was a slight tendency for the bushel weights to improve with
the addition of nitrogen. These changes may not be significant but the trend is
apparent.

Method of Fertilizer Application - broadcast
Interpretation of Results: The problem with this soil has been that barley, and
to a lesser extent oats, will not mature although the heads form fairly well.
The NPK treatments had no effedt whatever on the maturity - in fact, the grain
was not sufficiently developed to gave a yield to be considered at all. However, with the boron the barley matured to quite good quality grain and yielded
about 20 bushels per acre. While this yield is far from satisfactory the test
does indicate that boron and/or other minor elements are needed to complete
maturity. Possibly with adequate fertilization on top of these trace elements
and a normal growing season (1954 was a relatively poor growing season) yields
of good quality barley could be raised to a profitable level, The test reported
here is being checked in the greenhouse.

Interpretation of Results:
There was a very definite response to applications of nitrogen, the yield
increasing steadily as the rate of nitrogen increased up to 60 lbs of N.
However, there is an equally definite tendency for the bushel weights to
drop with increasing nitrogen. It would threfore appear that a compromise
between yield and quality would have to be reached in making only recommendations at least until we know more about the relationship between nitrogen
and quality, bushel weights, protein content etc,

Interpretation of Results:
Because of harvesting difficulties the results reported cannot be considered reliable regardless of statistical significance or non-significance. (The F value was non significant). This muck soil develops relatively large cracks when it dries out and because of these it was impossible to control the plot combine in order to do a clean job of harvesting. As the wheels would very frequently drop into these cracks it
was not possible to keep the level of the header bar in position. The
harvesting difficulties will have to be overcome before any reliance can
be placed on data from these plots.

Interpretation of Results:.
Although no significance can be attached to the differences showing, the indications are that phosphate in combination with the minor elements Cu, Mn, Zn
is needed for best results. This observation is supported by considerable previous work in the same area, Visual examinations of the plots throughout the
growing season also support this indication. Neither the phosphate alone nor the
minor elements alone gave any indication of increasing growth or yield - in
fact at times during the summer it appeared that the minor element alone were
depressing growth somewhat. This is a long term experiment to determine residual effects of phosphates. The applications for 1955 have been made by broadcast
ing just prior to the fall plowing.

Interpretation of Results: Analysis of the data indicates that the fertilizer

plots which received only 60# N as compared with 90# N 100# P 2 0 5 in 1953,
yielded considerably less in 1954 than in 1953 while the unfertilized plots
yielded about the same both years. Soil tests have not yet been made on

just short of significance at the 5% level.

Interpretation of Foasults; Frost damage, as well as' "alkali burn" were probably
rtly • re5ponsib:le for reducing the yield of the se potatoes. Rep. III was
pa
hit particuluxay hard. These yields are very low and it appears the fertiused to full effect by the plants because of bad growing condilizer TgaSn v t
tions. It :does appear that lack of phosphorous with or without nitrogen
united yields nluim potash was non-essential in this experiment.
