Description

Soil temperature can serve as a useful guide for timing spring seeding operations. Once the seed is planted, it is important that germination proceed uniformly and without delay. If the soil is too cool, germination is delayed, which results in seed damage and uneven or inadequate seeding emergence. It may even be necessary to reseed. On the other hand, if the soil is unusually warm in the spring, it may be better to seed earlier than normal. In either case the soil temperature at seeding depth can be a practical guide.

Description

Salts are a common and natural constituent of all soils. Normally, these salts are present in low amounts in topsoil and plant growth is not affected. However, accumulation of salts, through natural means or man’s activities, can cause plant growth problems and result in poor growth or death of plants. Once the salts have accumulated in a soil, there is no chemical treatment that will remove or counteract their adverse effects on plant growth. Special management practices become necessary in order to successfully grow plants on soils with high salt content. These practices are discussed in this fact sheet.
