* adding nutrients to soils with these levels of nutrients
may reduce crop yields or quality by interfering with the uptake of
other nutrients.
** For whole pack tomatoes and rutabagas
on soils with magnesium tests less than 100 the required amount of
potash should be adjusted downward from the amounts shown to a minimum
rate of 50% of table values at a magnesium test of 50. Fertilizer
rates in this table are designed to produce highest economic yields
when accompanied by good or above average management.
*** Excess application of potassium will lead
to luxury consumption by the sugar beet plant. This has a negative
effect upon clear juice purity.
HR, MR, LR, RR, and NR denote, respectively, high, medium,
low, rare and no probabilities of profitable crop response to applied
nutrient.

Services Committee (June 2007)
