“…Kasa et al [76] found that application of different level of lime and phosphorus significantly increased the yield and yield contributing characters of Haricot bean in Ethiopia. Lime in an acid soil not only replaces hydrogen ions, elevates soil pH [8], and increases NPK availability, but it also promotes plant growth and development in legume crops [77]. In an acidic soil, an experiment was carried out on Sesamum, mungbean, and cowpea with lime applications of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 tons per hectare, respectively.…”

Soil acidity is a major problem when it comes to improving crop productivity and nutrient uptake. This experiment was therefore conducted at a farmer’s field—Nalitabari Upazila under AEZ 22 (northern and eastern Piedmont plains) to evaluate the effects of lime and organic manure (OM) amendment on crop productivity and nutrient uptake of the wheat–mungbean–T. Aman cropping pattern in acidic soils of northern and eastern Piedmont plains. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. There were nine treatments applied, varying doses of lime (dololime at the rate of 1 and 2 t ha−1), OM (cow dung at the rate of 5 t ha−1, poultry manure at the rate of 3 t ha−1) and a lime–OM combination to the first crop; T. Aman and its residual effects were evaluated in the succeeding second crop, wheat, and the third crop, mungbean. Results demonstrate that application of lime and organic manure to soil had significant effects on the first crop. However, the effects of lime and organic manure were more pronounced in the second and third crops. The increase in grain yield over control ranged from 0.24 to 13.44% in BINA dhan7. However, it varied from 10.14 to 54.38% in BARI Gom30 and 40 to 161.67% in BARI Mung6. The straw yields of the crops also followed a similar trend. The N, P, K, and S uptake by grain and straw of T. Aman, wheat, and mungbean were influenced significantly by the combined application of lime and organic manure. Sole or combined application of lime and manure amendment significantly improved nutrient availability and soil quality. Therefore, application of lime in combination with manure can be practiced for uplifting the crop productivity and improving soil quality in acidic Piedmont soils of northern and eastern Piedmont plains.

“…Unlike red clover, white clover yield was not affected by fertilization in either year. This was surprising as other studies have found a positive effect of fertilization on white clover (Williams et al 1985;Singh and Sale 1998;Junquan et al 2007). Dry weather in 2010 may have muted any fertilization response in the more drought-sensitive white clover plants.…”

Conditions that favor clover establishment in permanent grass swards

Over seeding clover into permanent grasslands has many benefits, but successful establishment can be difficult as it depends on multiple interacting variables. This paper reports on a 2‐year factorial experiment conducted to evaluate how the interaction of several variables: (i) height of residual grass stubble at sowing, (ii) defoliation frequency, and (iii) fertilization with P and K affected clover seedling emergence and subsequent biomass in a permanent grass sward. In 2010, a red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) mix was broadcast seeded into grass plots arranged in a split‐split plot arrangement of treatments. Clover seed sown into short grass stubble produced two times more seedlings (226 m−2) compared with sowing into tall swards (106 m−2). Frequent defoliation facilitated clover establishment, but only when seed had been sown into short grass stubble. Fertilization increased red clover yield in year 1, but this also depended on interactions with defoliation frequency and stubble height. Overall, red clover benefitted from fertilization with P and K but only during the establishing year. Fertilization also promoted a less desirable weedy species, hop clover (Trifolium campestre Schreb.), which may have had negative impacts on clover yield and white clover persistence in year 2. The results highlight the complexity of managing grass‐legume mixtures especially with respect to fertilization.

“…It has been reported that new cocksfoot lines are characterized by high biomass productivity (Tarakanovas, Chomiak, 2008;Tilvikienė et al, 2012). The sparse experiments with liming reveal that when growing cocksfoot under severe acid soil conditions in pure sward as well as in mixture with other crops, its productivity is increasing when the lime is applied (Junquan et al, 2007;Poozesh et al, 2010). The effects of different nitrogen rates on cocksfoot biomass and energy productivity are presented by Lithuanian and foreign authors (Mills et al, 2009;Tilvikienė et al, 2012).…”

Research on two perennial Poaceae species -cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) and reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) -was aimed to investigate the effect of liming and nitrogen fertilization on biomass productivity and to carry out energy analysis of the growing technology. The soil of the experimental site is acid moraine loam (pH 4.25-4.85) Eutri-Hypostagnic Albeluvisol (ABj-w-eu). The experiments were composed of three levels of liming (not limed, limed with 3.0 and 6.0 t ha -1 of CaCO 3 ) and three levels of nitrogen (N) fertilization (0, 60 and 120 kg ha -1 N). According to the results averaged over three years of investigations, the highest productivity was obtained in 2011, when the average cocksfoot dry mass yield amounted to 7215 kg ha -1 , and reed canary grass -to 10833 kg ha -1 (including 1 st and 2 nd cuts). The application of 6.0 t ha -1 CaCO 3 lime rate positively affected cocksfoot dry mass increment, although had no significant influence on reed canary grass dry mass yield. Nitrogen fertilization had the highest effect on the productivity of both grasses. Compared with the control treatment (0 kg ha -1 N), the application of 120 kg ha -1 N rate increased cocksfoot dry mass by 220% and reed canary grass by 243%. The energy evaluation of growing technology showed that the total energy input for grass cultivation (direct and indirect input, machinery energy consumption and human labour input) amounted to 8.91-26.02 GJ ha -1 , of which liming material and mineral fertilizers accounted for 2.45-19.39 GJ ha -1 . Cocksfoot accumulated 59-165 GJ haand reed canary grass 84-228 GJ ha -1 of biomass energy on average per season. As a result, the highest energy use efficiency (energy output/input ratio), which was positively influenced by 120 kg ha -1 N fertilization, was achieved when growing reed canary grass.
