Incorporating Nutrient Management in Potato ProductionThe potato is a nutritious, nutrient dense vegetable recommended as part of a healthy, balanced diet. Potatoes are a primary staple is North American diets and can be grown in most areas; although, there are specific areas more conducive to potato production due to climate and soil conditions. There is…
Sulphur Reactions in Flooded SoilsSulphur (SO4-2) in the soil is exposed to several biological and chemical interactions. Excess rainfall or flood irrigation results in soils saturated for extended period of time causes a depletion of oxygen which is referred to as anaerobic conditions. Sulphur can experience major chemical changes during and after saturated conditions. Download Now!Version: 2016-09
