Maurice L. Vitosh Extension Soil Specialist Department of Crop and Soil Sciences
This report summarizes all of the lime and fertilizer recommendations for potatoes issued by the Michigan Cooperative Extension Service and the Agricultural Experiment Station. Most of these recommendations can be found in MSU Extension bulletin E-550, Fertilizer Recommendations: Vegetable and Field Crops in Michigan. More information on liming can be found in MSU Extension bulletin E-471, Lime for Michigan Soils. Additional information on secondary and micronutrients can be found in MSU Extension bulletin E-486, Secondary and Micronutrients for Vegetable and Field Crops. Further information on nitrogen fertilizer management can be found in MSU Extension bulletin WQ-09, Nitrogen Management Strategies for Potato Producers. All of these bulletins are available from your local Cooperative Extension Service office. These recommendations have been developed over the past 50 years from many experiments. We are grateful to the potato growers of Michigan for sponsoring much of this research through their support of the Michigan Potato Industry Commission.
