Description
Study of macro- and micronutrient uptake and utilization by plants and the fertilizer products used to supply different nutrients. Topics include soil conservation, erosion control practices, and utilization of soil survey reports. Prerequisite: AGPR 201 or instructor permission. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Interpret soil pH relationships based on soils cation exchange capacity and relate this to form and availability of nutrients.
Read and interpret soil test reports and make recommendations to include calculating the cost of fertilizer applications.
Describe the physical processes involved in soil loss by erosion and discuss and use capability classifications.
Outline the nitrogen cycle in soils and recognize forms of nitrogen in plant and soil and mobility of each form.
Summarize the need for phosphorous fertilizer and distinguish the forms occurring in soil and plant.
Analyze the need for potassium fertilizers and the forms of potassium in the soil.
Discuss soil-fertilizer sulfur relationships.
Evaluate the micronutrient needs of specific crops and availability dependence on soil pH.
Identify fertilizer products as to general type and where each would be used to the greatest advantage.
Read, interpret, and make fertilizer recommendations from a soil or plant tissue test analysis report.
Discuss the use of organic materials in a fertility management program.
