Overview

Excerpt from Green Manure Crops in Southern California Inthe execution of this experiment, the tract of land used was divided into seventeen plots, each 20 feet Wide by 218 feet long, containing approximately one-tenth of an acre. These were numbered consecutively 1 to 17. The plan of the experiment was to grow differ ent green-manure crops on these plots during the winter months. During the summer following, certain indicator crops, such as corn and potatoes, were to be grown in solid blocks crossing the plots and serve by their growth and yield to demonstrate the comparative value of the different treatments applied to the plots. The plots indicated by the Odd numbers have all had some variety Of legume grown on them each winter and turned under as a green manure in the spring. The plots of even numbers have had non leguminous plants grown and turned under. Certain Of these non legume plots were fertilized with commercial nitrogenous materials during the growth of the indicator crop, thus furnishing some means of comparing the value Of nitrogen from the leguminous manure crop with known quantities of nitrogen from commercial fertilizer.
