Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station, 1915 The station has continued as in the past to aid in the development of diversified agricultural industries in the islands. There are a number of crops that have been found agriculturally possible which at present are not able to compete economically with sugar, and the station has continued its experimental and extension work to place some of these on a profitable basis. It is felt that the most stable prosperity is that which is based upon a number of lines of industry rather than upon a single crop. To this end the station is collecting data as to the agricultural possibilities of different crops on the different soils of the various islands. As rapidly as possible the cultural requirements of these various crops in relation to soils, altitudes, and moisture supply are being worked out.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station for 1910 The soils of the Hawaiian Islands are very different in several respects from those which are familiar to farmers and agricultural workers on the mainland. In the first place, the Hawaiian. Soils contain high percentages of iron in various forms (say from 15 to 30 per cent). In addition to the high iron content, the soils contain more titanium than mainland soils, and in some localities, also a large amount (up to 9 per cent) of manganese. The presence of the large quantity of iron in Hawaiian-soils gives them physical proper ties which are seldom met with in soils on the mainland. Wherever special-attention is not given to Cultivation, the Soils rapidly become impervious to water and air and the iron present in the soil is reduced to the ferrous state. This, as is well known, is injurious to plant growth and is instrumental in preventing adequate aeration of the soil. Moreover, when the iron exists in the ferrous state and the soil can not be aerated, the use of fertilizers gives little or no benefit. It is therefore necessary to adopt a rational Soil program, with the central idea that of securing a better aeration and better physical properties of the soil. Studies, which are designed to throw light on the practical methods of accomplishing such a result, are now in progress at the station, and the suggestions, already made by the station chemist, are being put into practice in a number of localities. It may be trutlifully. Said that in many localities the chief soil prob lems are concerned with the physical rather than the chemical pr0p erties of the soil. Improper aeration not only causes the iron to become reduced to the ferrous state, but may also prevent the utiliza tion by the plant of the plant food naturally present in the soils. The study of cultural and rotation methods for securing a better aeration of the soil will be-continued during the coming year, both in pot and field cultures.
