Notes by the Wayside
Here is some advice on fer­
tilizer use
for
snap bean
growers. This material is ta­
ken from our notes during a
district conference on fertili-
izer at Oregon State college
recently.
In trials conducted at var­
ious locations throughout the
state, maximum yields have
resulted of approximately 75
pounds of actual nitrogen per
acre applied annually in ad­
dition to other elements
as
described below.
