Nutritional Requirements and Fertilizer Recommendations for Florida Sugarcane

Economic Fertiliser Recommendations for Sugarcane

Fertiliser recommendations for sugarcane are made with a view to achieving maximum probable yields based on response data derived from decades of research by the South African Sugar Association Experiment Station (SASEX). Adaptations are made according to the experience and knowledge of consultants, but the risks of under or over fertilising are seldom quantified in monetary terms. To address t...

Crop Potassium Nutrition – Implications for Fertilizer Recommendations

Nutritional recommendations for divers.

Competitive diving involves grace, power, balance, and flexibility, which all require satisfying daily energy and nutrient needs. Divers are short, well-muscled, and lean, giving them a distinct biomechanical advantage. Although little diving-specific nutrition research on performance and health outcomes exists, there is concern that divers are excessively focused on body weight and composition...

How Fertilizer Recommendations Are Made

Recommendation, as we use the word here, means advice from a soil or crop specialist to those deciding how much of, what form of, and when to apply a fertilizer to a soil to benefit growth of a plant or crop. Recommendations of fertilizers and soil amendments must consider the interactions of all the factors discussed in this manual, including the soil, the crop, the climate, the beneficial eff...

Sugarcane Nutrition and Fertilizer Use in South Africa

In South Africa during the past four decades considerable research has taken place on the nutrient requirements of sugarcane. Consequently marked changes have occurred in patterns of fertilizer use. The value of N, P and K fertil~zers for cane production is reviewed using field experimental data. Correlations established between soil and leaf analysis and crop responses to various nutrients are...
