SOIL LABORATY The soils of Prince Edward Is- land belong to the Podsol Group. Owing to‘ their inherent charac- 3 teristics, they have a relative'y : - low natural productive capacity. | Consequently, majntenance of a high leyel of soil fertility is a : major problem in Prince Edward | Island. The research. work conducted py the Soil Laboratory section is concerned with the siudy of the

fertilizer requirements of ¢rops'| on different soil types; a compar- |

ison of several sources of n‘tro- . gen; and with control of soil er- | zsion by waiter action. ee F Soil fertility studios are con- | ducted on different soil types in « , .
