Abstract
The residual value of zinc fertilizer applied to Portneuf silt loam
near Kimberly, Idaho was determined by three methods, a) DTPA-extractable
Zn, b) plant growth and Zn uptake by beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)
grown in a field experiment, and c) plant growth and Zn uptake by beans
grown in a pot experiment on soil taken from field plots previously
fertilized with Zn.
The plant growth and Zn uptake data from the field and pot
experiments indicate that application of 10 lb Zn/A is adequate for at
least three bean crops. DMA-extractable Zn on samples taken in 1983
indicate adequate available Zn for a fourth crop. The soil tests are
still above 1 ppm and they decrease slowly with time. Thus, the single
10 lb Zn/A will likely suffice for several more crops. The experiment
is being continued.
