~• <br />• • <br />_2_ <br />there should be little hazard from excess .sodium. <br />PHYSICAL RESULTS <br />The textures of [he soil samples are of a fine-textured nature which is <br />typical of soils developed from western marine formations. Most of the <br />soils are silty clay foams, with a few silt foams and 1 clay loam. The <br />~ saturatlon percentages reflect this "heavy" type of soil texture. Some <br />crusting problems may be associated with Chese soils if left exposed to a <br />heavy rain. Organic matter contents are adequate. <br />FERTILIZER RECOMMENDATIONS <br />. Revegation processes will benefit from the addition of fertilizer ammend- <br />ments to assist the plants' growth. Therefore, the following feritlizer <br />additions are suggested: <br />Nitrogen--30 pounds per acre as ammonium nitrate (90 pounds of the material) <br />Phosphorus--40 pounds per acre as 0-45-0 (90 pounds of the material)• <br />Potassium--30 pounds per acre as 0-0-62 (~D pounds of the material) <br />Since both phosphorus and potassium are beneficial in promoting good <br />root development, the fertilizer ammendments should be worked into the upper <br />portion of the soil profile before planting. They do not move with water. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted by: <br />j .. <br />~,.~ ,-. <br />7 D. F. Champion, Certified Soil Scientist <br />Soltesco Soil and Water Consultants 9/26/88 <br />
