Extract

An experiment, carried out to determine the effect of dressings of sulphate of ammonia on an established lucerne-cocksfoot ley grown in narrow rows on heavy gault clay soil, is described and the results discussed. The experiment was carried out over 3 full years (1948–50) and the first crop of the following year. The results suggest that it is possible to increase the yields of grass and total produce without decreasing the yield of lucerne but that no marked increase in the yield of nitrogen per acre is to be expected. Of the times of application tested February proved the most effective.
