Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Factors Affecting the Influence of Soybeans, Oats, and Other Crops on the Succeeding Crop
The yield of wheat, oats, and corn was higher following soy beans harvested for hay than the yield following oats harvested for grain. The difference in yields of wheat and corn appeared to be related to differences in the nitrate content of the soil. The yield of buckwheat and-potatoes was not affected differ ently by preceding crops of oats or soybeans. Oats following oats, buckwheat, or corn were poorer than oats following wheat and potatoes. Soybeans gave a lower yield after corn than after Wheat. The other crops tested - oats, buckwheat, and potatoes - were similar to wheat in their effect on the succeeding crop of soybeans. The yield of wheat following soybeans removed September 20 was lower than the yield following soybeans removed August 10 or August 30. On September 20 the soybeans were about ready to be cut for seed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
