Dvsnrz, S., Kozus, G. C. aNo Donueen, J. F. 19'75. Effects of fertilizer, barnyard manure, and crop residues on irrigated crop yields and soil chemical properties. Barnyard manure, N fertilizer, corn stovers, and sugar beet tops were incorporated into the soil singly and in combination in an irrigated four-course rotation (sweet corn, soft spring wheat, sugar beets, and sugar beets) that completed four cycles. The application of manure at27 tlha every 4 yr increased the organic matter (OM), N, P, and K of the soil and increased yields of I st-yr sugar beets by 3lVc in the last cycle. When 66 kg N/ha was combined with the manure, yields of lst-yr sugar beets increased by 53Vc. The responses by the 2nd-yr sugar beets were smaller. Manure, and manure plus N fertilizer, increased yields of sweet corn by I I and 287c, bur wheat yields were unaffected. The benefits of manure and N fertilizer became apparent during the second cycle and increased with advancing years. One cycle of the rotation was required to establish all the treatments. In three subsequent cycles (1960-63, 1964-6'7, and 1968-71)
