ItemGreen Manuring—Renewed Interest in an Old Concept(University of Hawaii, 1981)Three tropical green manure legumes were grown across a pH gradient from 4.7 to 7.1 established by liming an Oxisol. The effects of available soil aluminum and manganese levels on plant growth and nitrogen fixation are discussed.
-
ItemLiming in the Tropics: Variable-Charge Soils May Be Highly Buffered(University of Hawaii, 1981)Yield response of cowpea over a pH gradient established by applying incremental amounts of lime to an Oxisol is illustrated and discussed.
-
ItemMapping Soil Fertility and Fertilizer Requirements(University of Hawaii, 1980)A map of fertilizer phosphorus requirements for the island of Hawaii is discussed. It shows the amount of P fertilizer required per gram of dry soil to establish 0.02 microgram P per milliliter of soil solution, a level that is capable of producing near-maximum yields of many agronomic crops.
-
ItemAmorphous Coatings on Soil Mineral Surfaces Sorb Phosphate and Sulfate(University of Hawaii, 1978)Soils formed in weathered volcanic ash usually contain a high percentage of amorphous gel-like material that has been desilicated during weathering. The influence of this property on phosphate and sulfate sorption is discussed.
-
ItemThe External Phosphorus Requirements of Plants(University of Hawaii, 1980)The dynamic between labile P, soil solution P, and P uptake by lettuce and Chinese cabbage is illustrated.
