<p>Fertility studies play an important part in determining how
crop yields can be increased. Many vegetables grow rapidly and have
high demands for plant nutrients.</p>
<p>With the development of the Gardiner Dam in Saskatchewan, interest
is being shown in the commercial growing of vegetables under irrigated
conditions. During 1970 about 334 hectares of potatoes were grown
commercially in the area, and some increase in this acreage is expected
in 1971. Very little research on the nutrient requirements for vegetables
grown in Saskatchewan has been done, and there is a need for further
studies. The Department of Horticulture Science at the University of
Saskatchewan, Saskatoon has conducted fertility studies since 1962 on a
number of crops including the present study on cabbage and carrots, with
financial assistance from the Saskatchewan Research Council. The latter
experiments were carried out on Asquith Fine Sandy Loam at Saskatoon and
Outlook, Saskatchewan.</p>
<p>All measures and weights reported in this thesis have been expressed
according to the metric system and the precision of these figures does
not necessarily indicate the high degree of accuracy, but rather are the
result of conversions to the metric system.</p> |
