Abstract
The elemental composition of corn was evaluated during the 1973 growing season in an experiment with various rates of poultry manure. In general, the nutrient concentration of plant tissue reflected poultry manure applications with the exception of Mg which declined and Ca, Fe and Na which apparently were largely unaffected. The elemental concentrations in the corn tissue were not in a toxic range; however, the nutrient balance was changed by poultry manure application. Sampling of corn early in the growing season can be valuable with respect to predicting nutrient concentration of more mature corn for Mg, Mn, B and Zn, but it leaves so much to be desired for the other elements tested.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
