Effect of Whey on Soil and Plant Growth1

W. J. Sharratt, A. E. Peterson and H. E. Calbert2

Synopsis: Whey was effective in increasing corn yields the first and second growing season after application. If, during one season more than 4 acre-inches of whey are applied sufficient salts may accumulate to temporarily inhibit plant growth. The protein in whey is readily converted to nitrates. Whey also benefited the soil physical status.
