In March For
Soils Test Lab
Tests for Oregon Fertilizer
needs are expected to hit a peak
this month at the Oregon State
college soils testing laboratory
as farmers take inventory of soil
requirements for such crops as
spring-planted grains, truck
crops, grass seed, crops and pas
tures. L. A. Alban, head of the labora
tory, says March has been the
heavy month each year since the
service was started January 1,
1953. More than 5500 samples
from Oregon farms have now
been tested with the majority
coming from western Oregon.
Leading counties are Marion,
Clackamas and Washington with
400 to 500 samples from each.
OSC soils specialist T. L. Jack
son says soil tests, which take
about two weeks, should be run
well ahead of ground prepara
tion to avoid delay in obtaining
the right types and amounts of
fertilizer. Tests include an an
alysis for phosphate, lime, pot
ash and calcium requirements
for Western Oregon. Eastern Ore
gon soils are tested for phosphate
and potash requirements and
alkalinity.
Jackson reports that fertilizer
trials on Western Oregon farms
during the past two years show
a wide range of soil needs be
tween neighboring farms and
even within a farm. Lime and
phosphate are the major defici
encies for the area and about 30
percent of the soils tested are low
or medium in potash.
The specialist explains that
while phosphate and lime ap
plications may not, in them
selves, give crop yield increases,
they trigger the effectiveness of
nitrogen applications.
Most Eastern Oregon soils are
pretty well supplied with phos
phate and potash, although some
Central Oregon tests show phos
phate deficiency.
Certain producers must be fol
lowed in taking samples. Farm
ers are advised to contact their
county extension agents soon for
full details. The testing service
