Abstract
Abstract A corn fertility study was conducted at two locations in northern West Virginia to determine the response of corn (Zea mays L.) to applied Mg and Zn on two soils testing low in Mg by the ammonium acetate and Baker tests and low in Zn by the Baker test. The study consisted of three rates of Mg (0, 112, and 224 kg/ha) and three rates of Zn (0, 3.36, and 6.72 kg/ha) applied in a factorial design. The soil at the Morgantown location was medium textured with a CEC of 22.4, and the soil at the Reedsville location was coarse textured with a CEC of 15.8. Yield responses to applied Mg were obtained only on the coarse textured soil at the Reedsville location where exchangeable Mg was less than 5% of the CEC and equilibrium Mg was less than 9.0 10 ‐4M. No yield response to Zn was obtained at either location.
