    REPORT ON RESEARCH ON STERIC P, STERIC K, AND STERIC S P RODUCTS FROM NAP, PASCO ,

    WASHINGTON ON RUSSET P OTATOES , 2005 ATHAREC, H ERMISTON , OR.

    ABSTRACT

    In this initial trial using a new line of P, K, and S products from Northwest Agricultural

    Products of Pasco, WA it was found that, except for the phosphate product Steric P that

    statistically increased the yield of 4 to 12 ounce potatoes, equal yields and quality of Russet

    Ranger potatoes could be achieved with 1/3rd

    , 1/4th

    , and 1/4th

    of the P, K, and Srespectively as compared to the conventional quantities applied with 10-34-9, 0-0-14 (KCl)

    and Thiosul .

    MATERIALS AND METHODS

    Plot Location and Soil

    Field plots were established on the Hermiston Agricultural Research and Extension

    Center in early spring of 2005 under center pivot irrigation. The soil was an Adkins fine

    sandy loam (coarse-loamy, mixed mesic Xerollic Camborthid), pH 7.0, O.M. 0.7%, P-28ppm, K-335 ppm, S-35 ppm.

    Treatments

    Russet Ranger potatoes were planted on May 3, 2005, 4-35 rows/plot, 8-9 in-row.

    Admire was applied in the planting band at 16 oz/a, along with the scheduled experimental

    treatments using XR8008 spray nozzles, applying 53 gpa water-carrier (Table 1). Matrix

    herbicide was applied at 1 oz/acre, and incorporated with overhead irrigation.

    The P, K, and S came either from the NAP Steric product or from the standard

    commercial fertilizer products 10-34-0 (P), 0-0-14 (K-KCl), or Thiosul (S). In each nutrient

    trial only the Steric product and the conventional fertilizer containing that nutrient were

    different. For instance, in the P trial both the K and S came from the conventional sources

    whereas the P source was different. The same pattern is followed in the K and S trials.

    The amount of P, K, and S from the NAP Steric products was 1/3 rd . 1/4 th, and 1/4 th

    respectively compared to the amounts applied with the conventional fertilizer sources both

    in the initial planter band and during the season.

    Additional nitrogen was applied through the center pivot irrigation system (Table 2).

    Each plot received the same amount of nitrogen both in the planter band and in-season.

    In-season treatments (Tables 3-4) were applied with a tractor-mounted boom sprayer usingXR8006 spray nozzles spaced at 20", at 30 psi, and 1.5 mph ground speed, resulting in

    100 gpa carrier. Normal commercial production practices were followed. The experimental

    design was a randomized complete block with four replications.

    SOIL AND TISSUE SAMPLING

    For the P source comparison trial, soil was sampled in 2 increments to a depth of

    12 and analyzed for extractable P at planting and following harvest. Plant petioles were

    sampled for PO 4 every other day, beginning before treatment application (8 samples) for

    the 1st

    , 3rd

    , and 5th

    application times (Table 4).The K and S source comparison trials were sampled similarly, except that all

    samples were analyzed for K and S, respectively, and petioles were sampled only at the

    second of the three application times.

    Petiole samples, combined for the four replications of each treatment, were taken

    weekly to monitor plant nutritional status (figs. 1-12).

    Harvest

    The interior 2 rows of all trial plots were harvested for yield data on Oct 5, 2005.

    Potatoes were graded and sorted for size according to USDA grade standards, weighed,

    and specific gravity of USDA No. 1 potatoes, 4-12 oz., determined. Ten tubers/plot were

    cut and inspected for internal defects. Data were analyzed using the SAS General Linear

    Models procedure, with mean separation by Duncan's multiple range test at P=0.05.

    RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

    Phosphorus source study

    Average soil P was greater with 10-34-0 than with Steric-P (Table 5), and increased

    from the at-planting sample time to post-harvest, but source and sample time interacted

    (Table 6). As might be expected, there was no difference associated with P source at

    planting, but soil P was greater with 10-34-0 than with Steric-P at harvest, due to the total

    amount of P applied during the season with the 10-34-0 as compared to the Steric-P (150

    vs. 50 lb/a, respectively). Soil P decreased with depth, but sample time and depth

    interacted (Table 7). Again, the effect was due to the greater amount of P applied with the

    10-34-0 as compared to the Steric-P.Potato petiole PO 4-P concentration was higher with 10-34-0 than with Steric-P

    (Table 8), increased from before treatment application, and then decreased over time.

    Petiole PO 4-P did not change with application number with Steric-P, but increased with

  • 7/30/2019 Datos adj..

    6/25

    Page 5 of 24

    application of 10-34-0 (Table 9). Again, the interaction was due to the higher application

    rate with 10-34-0 than with Steric-P.

    Potassium source study

    Soil K was not affected by source (Table 10), and was similar in the pre-plant and

    post-harvest samples. The interaction between sample time and sample depth (Table 11)was not related to treatment.

    Petiole K was slightly higher with KCl than with Steric-K (Table 12), attributable to

    the higher rate of K fertilization with KCl (280 vs. 70 lb/a). Although statistically significant,

    the differences in petiole K concentrations over sample time were small and not

    physiologically important.

    Sulphur source study

    Soil S concentration did not differ between sources, but increased from pre-plant to

    post-harvest, due to in-season S applications (Table 13). The Sample Time X Depth

    interaction (Table 14) most likely was due to increased in-season S applications, and

    irrigation application, which leached mobile S to a slightly deeper location.

    Petiole S concentration also exhibited an application rate effect (Table 15). Petiole

    concentration of S was below the sufficiency level (0.20%) for this sample period with both

    sources, but increased rapidly above the sufficient level following treatment application (Fig

    12) and remained adequate for the rest of the season.

    YieldThe different fertilizer sources did not affect yield in any size or grade, except in the

    P source trial (Table 17, Page 18). Yield of 4-12 oz USDA No. 1 tubers was significantly

    higher with Steric-P than with 10-34-0. This is quite remarkable, since three times as much

    P was applied with 10-34-0 than with Steric-P (180 vs. 60 lbs-P/a). In the K source trial,

    yields were equal with Steric-K and KCl, again at a much reduced application rate for

    Steric-K (70 lbs-K/a vs. 280 lb-K/a for KCl). However, soil sampled to a 1 depth prior to

    plot preparation contained 335 ppm K, so it is possible that the season K requirement wasmet with the lower K application rate. A similar response was observed in the S source

    trial; equal yields with S application rates of 40 vs. 10 lbs/a for Steric-S and Thiosul,

    respectively. Again, the soil test prior to trial establishment reported 35 ppm S, which

    should be adequate for good yields without additional S application. Specific gravity was

    not affected by any source.

    Conclusions

    There appear to be advantages attributable to these products. However, this was a

    single trial (with each product), with one variety, and for only a single season. Additional

    trials, with different varieties and production environments, should be conducted to verify

    these results.
