Wheat Yields Same With Different Nitrogen Spacings Different spacings of liquid and gas nitrogen fertilizer appli cations had little or no effect on wheat yields this year at the Ore gon State college Sherman branch experiment station at Moro. Bill Hall, station superinten dent, says Rio wheat yields from test plots this summer were com parable for both anhydrous am monia and aqua ammonia nitro gen when fertilizer applicator shanks were spaced 16, 24, and 32 inches apart. Depth of application, tested at 3 inches and 6 inches, for various spacings also gave no yield dif ficult to apply since nitrogen may escape if applicator shanks cross depressions in the field. The Moro test plots were treat ed with 40 pounds of actual nitro gen per acre prior to seeding last September. Yields from all the treatments were approximately 29 bushels per acre compared to 23 bushels from check plots re ceiving no nitrogen. A further check against results was application of ammoniun ni trate a dry form of nitrogen broadcast on top of the soil that yielded the same as- the other treatments when applied at the 40-pound rate. This year's findings are fur ther supported by 1955 trials at the Moro station when equal wheat yields were obtained with shank spacings of 10, 16, and 22 inches and depths of 3, 6, and 9 inches. Similar results have been reported from the Pendleton branch, experiment station. ' Hall said wide spacing of shanks caused stvne "Streaking" the result of concentrated ap plication of nitrogen in individ ual shank rows. The Streaking which was noticeable until the wheat headed did not appear to shrivel wheat kernels or cause any other deterimental effects. The project Is part of the co operative research program be tween OSC and the agricultural research service of the U. S. de partment of agriculture. ) MINUTE-MAID Largs 12 Oz.
