Item Application of wood ash, biosolids, and papermill residuals to forest soils : a review of the literature.(University of Minnesota, 2001-07) Matysik, Molly A.; Gilmore, Daniel W.; Mozaffari, Morteza; Rosen, Carl J.; Halbach, Thomas R.Item Asparagus production guide(2013) Fritz, Vincent A.; Rosen, Carl J.; Hutchinson, William D.; Becker, Roger L.; Beckerman, Janna; Wright, Jerry A.; Tong, Cindy B. S.; Nennich, TerryAsparagus is a high value specialty crop and the earliest producing spring vegetable. It currently is priced as a gourmet item and will remain in this category until growing, harvesting, and processing costs can be reduced. Although production in the United States is concentrated in California, Washington, and Michigan, many other areas have great production potential climatically and geographically. The cost to establish an asparagus field is substantial, so the decision to grow asparagus is one that should be thoroughly investigated. This publication describes the cultural practices that must be considered to produce asparagus successfully.Item Backyard Composting(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 1998) Brown, Deborah L.; Rosen, Carl J.This fact sheet explains the basics of composting backyard waste. Includes information on what can be composted, how to prepare your compost pile, and how to maintain your compost pile.Item Composting and Mulching: A Guide to Managing Organic Yard Wastes(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 2000) Rosen, Carl J.; Halbach, Thomas R.; Mugaas, RobertThis guide explains the processes of composting and mulching, then gives instructions for building and maintaining a compost pile and for using the compost in one's yard or garden.Item Composting and mulching: a guide to managing organic yard wastes (Revised 1988)(University of Minnesota.

Lawn growth also depends on nutrients or essential elements absorbed by roots from the soil. When natural soil processes do not provide adequate supplies of these essential elements, fertilizer can be applied to maintain optimum turfgrass growth. The purpose of fertilizing a lawn is to add the necessary nutrients in the required amounts and at the proper time to achieve desirable lawn qualities and healthy turfgrass plants. This publication will help to develop a fertilizer program to promote a healthy lawn.Item Fertilizing lawns(University of Minnesota. Agricultural Extension Service, 1988) Taylor, D. H.; Rosen, Carl J.; White, Donald B.This archival publication may not reflect current scientific knowledge or recommendations.

Agricultural Extension Service, 1991) Hutchison, William D.; Pfleger, Frank L.; Rosen, Carl J.; Hertz, Leonard B.; Fritz, Vincent A.; Wright, Jerry A.; Burrows, Rhoda L.This archival publication may not reflect current scientific knowledge or recommendations. Current information available from the University of Minnesota Extension: https://www.extension.umn.edu.Item Growing Vine Crops in Minnesota(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 1999) Fritz, Vincent A.; Rosen, Carl J.Describes the best methods for raising vine plants in the state of Minnesota. Particularly, it outlines soil preparation, fertilization, watering, weed control, harvesting, and common problems/observations.Item Lead in the Home Garden and Urban Soil Environment(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 2002) Rosen, Carl J.Item Nutrient Management for Commercial Fruit & Vegetable Crops in Minnesota(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 2005) Rosen, Carl J.; Eliason, RogerThe bulletin provides guidelines for economically and environmentally sound use of fertilizers for commercial fruit and vegetable production.Item Nutrient management for fruit and vegetable crop production: Using manure and compost as nutrient sources for vegetable crops(2005) Rosen, Carl J.; Bierman, Peter M.Manure and compost not only supply many nutrients for crop production, but they are also valuable sources of organic matter. Increasing soil organic matter improves soil structure, increases the water-holding capacity of coarse-textured sandy soils, improves drainage in fine-textured clay soils, provides a source of slow release nutrients, reduces wind and water erosion, and promotes growth of earthworms and other beneficial soil organisms. Most vegetable crops return small amounts of crop residue to the soil, so manure, compost, and other organic amendments help maintain soil organic matter levels. This discussion addresses differences between the composition of fresh and composted manure, nutrient availability from manure and compost, and calculation of how much manure or compost to apply. Although focused on manure or composted manure, much of the discussion and the methods for calculating rates are generally applicable to effective use of different types of compost, biosolids, and similar organic nutrient sources.Item Potato fertilization on irrigated soils(University of Minnesota. Agricultural Extension Service, 1988) Rosen, Carl J.This archival publication may not reflect current scientific knowledge or recommendations. Current information available from the University of Minnesota Extension: https://www.extension.umn.edu.Item Potato fertilization on irrigated soils (Revised 1991)(University of Minnesota. Agricultural Extension Service, 1991) Rosen, Carl J.This archival publication may not reflect current scientific knowledge or recommendations. Current information available from the University of Minnesota Extension: https://www.extension.umn.edu.Item Soil Test Interpretations and Fertilizer Management for Lawns, Turf, Gardens, and Landscape Plants(St. Paul, MN: University of Minnesota Extension Service, 2008) Rosen, Carl J.; Bierman, Peter M.; Eliason, RogerFertilizer recommendations are based on the kinds of plants that are grown, the type of soil they are growing in, and the results of soil tests. Soil testing provides information on the availability of nutrients in the soil and is required for accurate fertilizer and lime recommendations. This bulletin presents current fertilizer and lime recommendations for home lawns, vegetable and flower gardens, small fruits, tree fruits, and ornamental trees and shrubs. Basic recommendations for home lawns are also generally applicable to other turfgrass areas such as golf courses, athletic fields, parks, cemeteries, schools, industrial grounds, and commercial sod farms. Commercial nursery or greenhouse growers interested in fertilizer recommendations for container grown crops should use different soil tests.
