PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - H. Douglas Jose AU - Dwight D. Markland TI - Land values in two soil zones with and without fertilizers: An economic analysis DP - 1981 Mar 01 TA - Journal of Soil and Water Conservation PG - 114--116 VI - 36 IP - 2 4099 - http://www.jswconline.org/content/36/2/114.short 4100 - http://www.jswconline.org/content/36/2/114.full AB - Gray Luvisols (Gray Wooded) are among the most infertile soils in Saskatchewan: Thick Black soils are among the most fertile. An economic analysis of fertilizer technology on the Gray Luvisol soils and a comparison of land values in the two soil zones showed that returns from adopting fertilizer technology have been capitalized into land values in the Gray Luvisol zone. Land in this zone is overpriced relative to that in the Thick Black soil zone. Continuation of this situation poses serious soil management problems in the Gray Luvisol zone.
