Sources of magnesium for sugar beet, potatoes and wheat grown on an acid sandy soil at Woburn, Beds.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
Magnesium deficiencies have occurred on most crops grown on sandy soil of the Cottenham Series at Woburn (Bolton & Penny, 1968). This paper gives the results of an experiment on this soil comparing the relative effects of dolomite (MgCO3. CaCO3), Epsom salt (MgSO4. 7H2O) with and without limestone (CaCO8), and calcined magnesite (MgO) on the yields and composition of sugar beet, potatoes and spring wheat grown in successive years. Effects on soil composition are also given.
