1 Agronomy 365T Exam 1 Spring 2004 Exam Score: Name TA Lab Hour Be sure to show all calculations so that you can receive partial credit for your work! 1) List 14 of the plant essential nutrient for plant growth (excluding C, H, O). Provide the complete name of the element, one form taken up by plants and list if the nutrient is a macro- or micronutrient. Spelling and charge count! (7 points) Essential Nutrient Form taken up by plant Macro or Micro including valence ) List the three nutrients categorized as secondary: (3 points) 3) What nutrient deficiencies are shown in the pictures projected. (3 points) a) b) c)
2 2 4) Define or explain the following terms as they relate to Soil Fertility: (2 points each, 6 points total) Liebig s Law of the Minimum ph (and indicate the normal range found for soils in the Midwest) Apoplastic Transport 5) What two factors control the differences in cation retention in soils (the lyotropic series: why ions are held in this order Al > Ca > Mg > K > Na)? (2 points each, 4 points) ) Your sand greens (1% O.M) on your golf course have CEC values of only 2 meq/100g. You want to increase the CEC to enhance nutrient retention.

Montmorillonite B. Illite C. Kaolinite
4 4 11) Discuss the relationship of cation exchange capacity to buffering capacity to lime requirement of soils. (5 points) 12) A golf course superintendent calls you and says that the grass in one of his fairways keeps dying even though he gives it plenty of water and fertilizer and that compaction is not a problem. You ask him the soil ph and he says, Why do you care about soil ph? You give him the following 4 (four) reasons why soil ph is so important. (4 points) ) We know that the molecular weight of MgCO 3 = 84 g mole -1, and that the equivalent weight of MgCO 3 = 42g mole -1. We also know that the molecular weight of CaCO 3 is 100 g mole -1 and that the equivalent weight of CaCO 3 is 50 g mole -1. Show all work!!! What is the calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) of MgCO 3? (3 points) 14) If the sieve analysis of the MgCO 3 from Question 13 showed that 80 percent of this material passed an 8-mesh sieve and 40 percent of it passed a 60-mesh sieve: a) What is the Fineness Factor for this material in the U.S.A.? (3 points) b) What is the Relative Neutralizing Value (RNV) or the Effective Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (ECCE) of this material? (2 points) [If you could not calculate the answer to Ques. 13, assume the CCE of MgCO 3 is 110%]
5 5 15) Based on the following information: Wheat crop transpired 2.8 million lbs of water Root volume was 1.0 % of soil volume all the way to 12 inches Wheat crop accumulates 30 lb P/acre Nutrient concentrations in soil solution and total available nutrients in top 12 inches. Total available Nutrient Soil solution concentration in top 12 inches mg L -1 lb/acre P Please calculate how many lbs P acre -1 would be delivered to the wheat crop via the following mechanisms: Show all work!!!
