Extract

Twenty-one field experiments were carried out from 1953 to 1955 on main-crop potatoes to compare dressings of nitrogen applied wholly to the seedbed (as ammonium sulphate), with equivalent dressings applied partly to the seedbed (as ammonium sulphate) and partly as a top-dressing (of ‘Nitro-Chalk’) just before the final ridges were set up.
