Extract

Carrots of Chantenay type wefe grown in cultures of a black fen soil shown by analysis to be deficient in phosphate but normal as regards potash. When phosphate was absent, the cotyledons, and sometimes the whole of the foliage, were dark bronze in colour. There was a statistically significant increase in yield following applications of phosphate, but a tendency for applied nitrogen and potash to diminish yield.

We thank F. Shaw, Esq., N.D.H., of the Cambs. C.C. Staff for Agricultural Education, for his assistance in obtaining the fen soil used in this experiment.
