Soils and Soil Fertility Publications
| CR-2253 | Oklahoma Agriculture Soil Test Summary 2002-2003 This summary may provide a valuable index of the soil fertility status of Oklahoma farmland. |
| CR-2247 | Oklahoma Agricultural Soil Test Summary 1994-1999 |
| F-2903 | Nitrate Toxicity in Livestock |
| L-297 | Interpreting Soil Salinity Analyses This brochure explains the soil test results recieved from the OSU Soil, Water, and Forage Analytical Laboratory. |
| L-241 | Testing Services and Price List: Soil, Water & Forage Analytical Laboratory This brochure describes the services, and prices, provided by the Soil, Water & Forage Analytical Laboratory. |
| May 2004 | Oklahoma USDA Cost-Share Lime And Fertilizer Recommendations |
| PSS-2902 | What Soil, Forage or Water Test Do You Need? This fact sheet has been prepared to help you choose the right test(s) for your situation. |
| PSS-2901 | Procedures Used by OSU Soil, Water and Forage Analytical Laboratory The Soil, Water, and Forage Analytical Laboratory (SWAFL), located in the basement of Agriculture Hall at OSU, was established to meet the soil, plant, and water quality testing needs of farmers, ranchers, homeowners, and consultants throughout the state. |
| PSS-2590 | Forage Legumes and Nitrogen Production This fact sheet will describe what can be expected by using legumes for nitrogen fixation, outline realistic benefits of legumes, and dispel some unfounded expectations. |
| PSS-2252 | Raindrops and Bombs: The Erosion Process During a rainfall, millions of drops fall at velocities reaching 30 feet per second. They explode against the ground, splashing soil as high as 3 feet in the air and as far as 5 feet from where they hit. Without raindrops, there would be little soil erosion caused by water. But of course, without raindrops there also would be no crops. |
| PSS-2244 | Soil Compaction and Crusts |
| PSS-2240 | Managing Acid Soils for Wheat Production Soil acidity is a major yield-limiting factor for Oklahoma wheat production. This fact sheet presents new information on the managment of acidic soils for continuous wheat production. |
| PSS-2239 | Cause and Effects of Soil Acidity This fact sheet explains why soils become acid and the problems acid soils create for crop production. |
| PSS-2238 | Fireplace Ashes for Lawn and Garden Use This fact sheet describes how fireplace ashes may be safely and beneficially applied to lawn and garden soils. |
| PSS-2237 | Sulfur Requirements of Oklahoma Crops This fact sheet discusses sulfur requirements of crops grown in Oklahoma. |
| PSS-2229 | Soil pH and Buffer Index The purpose of this fact sheet is to explain the general concept of soil pH and Buffer Index and to show how these soil test values are used in making Aglime recommendations. |
| PSS-2226 | Reclaiming Slick-Spots and Salty Soils This fact sheet discusses "problem" soils ? soils that are either too salty or too alkali, and the steps to improve the quality of the soil. |
| PSS-2225 | OSU Soil Test Interpretations This fact sheet includes the most recent soil test interpretations of major crops for the most commonly deficient plant nutrients in Oklahoma. Revised March 2006. |
| PSS-2207 | How to Get a Good Soil Sample This fact sheet outlines specific considerations which should be taken into account to get the greatest benefit from soil testing. |
