Excerpt from Fertilization of Apple Orchards, II
Turning now to the Pacific Northwest for additional data we find that Morris and Larsen in tests made in the Wenatchee Valley, found very good results from the use of nitrogen - carrying fertilizers in orchards which had been clean cultivated for several years, but no pronounced results in orchards in which a good cover crop had been grown for more than three years. No evident-re sponses have been observed from applications Of either acid phos phate or potash. Lewis, Reimer, and Brown (1920) report similar results in Oregon.
In summarizing briefly the results on apple fertilization in other states, it can be said that apple trees in sod generally need nitro genous fertilizers for maximum production while apple trees under cultivation may or may not, depending on the fertility of the soil. Acid phosphate seems to be valuable in stimulating cover crop growth only. Applications of potash have shown no favorable re spouse.' It will be seen later that the'vv est Virginia experiments.
