[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1540817, member: 27848"] Back in the '60's Texas soil producing capability was pretty much "Cottoned Out". A group of local businessmen and some PhDs from Texas A&M College (back then before becoming TAMU) got together and formed the "Agricultural Research Station as Renner" (Renner, Tx. now encircled by Plano). The test station was a plantation sort of thing with many test fields where they did hands on research as to what worked and what didn't and how did it work in looking for solutions to the poor soil problem. I have a hard bound copy of the results of several years of their tests. On your comment about some "P" too, they proved without a doubt that N without P is like washing your hands without soap. K was a readily available basic nutrient already in the soil and PH was slightly alkaline so adding K and Lime weren't necessary for their testing but as we all know NPK and neutral PH is a requirement. But, with regard to my comment. Extra N can get you 10x in return on your investment if everything else is present. [/QUOTE]
