Abstract

Long-term experiments for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) have been conducted Iowa State University (ISU) research farms to complement short-term trials on farmers' fields because they allow for the study of yield and soil-test values trends over time. A trial was established at the ISU Northeast Research and Demonstration Farm in 1979 by the late researcher Dr. John Webb and farm superintendent Ken Ross to study effects of P and K fertilization on soil-test values and grain yield of corn and soybean. This report summarizes results through the end of 2018 when the trial was discontinued.
