Kyle of the South Plains Agricultural Research and E.vtension Center here gave that report Thursday at the annual Agricultural Chemicals Conference at Texas Tech. Kyle, who directs the vegetable research program at the center, rejxirted that transplanted onions in 1061 were adversely affected by the band of nitrogen being too close to the transplants.

Phosphorous increased the to' tal yield and yield of grade when transplants suffered excessive nitrogen in the i band, he said.

He added that a gradual increase is expected in vegetable acreages. More than 18 vegetables are produced on approximately 50.000 acres in this area, not counting Southern field i)eas. Kyle said fertilizer sales for vegetable crops total about SI million a year.

('topping Systems Studied An experiment involving cropping systems and fertilizers initiated on Texas agronomy farm in 1959, and the fifth crop in the studies was growTi in 1963. Dr. Clark Harvey, profes.sor of agronomy at Tech, who conducts studies in cooperation with the South Plains Research and P'x- tension Center, says results over the five year period supfwrt these conclusions: 1. A cotton-grain sorghum-soy bean rotation or a coUoa-vetch. or green manure-grain sorghum rotation w'ill produce about 150 pounds more lint per acre than a cotton-grain sorghum rotation if no fertilizer is applied in either system.

2. A cotton-grain rotation will produce about as much cotton as a cotton grain sorghum-soybean rotation if all crops are adequately fertilized. In 1963, the cotton-grain sorghum rotation produced 650 pounds of lint and the cotton- grain sorghum-soybean rotation yielded 812 pounds of lint per acre where no feililizer was applied. With an 80 80-0 fertilizer applied to each crop, the cotton- grain sorghum rotation produced 935 pounds of lint and the cotton-grain sorghum-soybean rotation turned out 985 pounds.
