The residual effect of phosphate and potash fertilizers applied to cut or grazed grassland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 March 2009
Summary
P and K fertilizers were applied over a 5-year period to plots that were either cut, individually grazed or communally grazed. Residual effects were assessed in the sixth year when the sward was ploughed and sown with Italian ryegrass. The residual study supported the earlier published inference that (a) P returned to the sward in sheep dung is not an effective P source under field conditions, (b) communal grazing can lead to appreciable transfer of K from one plot to another.
