Effects of sodium sulphate and potassium chloride fertilizers on the nutritive value of timothy grown on different soils

Abstract: Third harvest samples from a pot experiment were analysed to study the effects of sodium (Na) (0, 200 and 400 mg dm-3 of soil in a single application as Na2SO4 . 10H2O) and potassium (K) application (0, 100 and 200 mg dm-3 applied at each harvest as KCl) on the nutritive value of timothy grown on three different soil types (clay, loam and organogenic soil). The effects of fertilization on concentrations of crude protein, neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and non-structural carbohydrates, although statistically sig… Show more

“…The rate and extent of gas production from the samples was measured using a computerized in vitro system. A description of the method applied is given by Huhtanen et al. (2000), with the exception that in the present study, fibre residues of the samples, extracted with NDF (sample size of 0·5 g), were used in the incubation.…”

“…“Total length of nearby roads” was positively correlated with N tot , Cl − , and Na, the first of which may originate from vehicle emissions and the latter two from road salt ( 23 , 89 ). “Total nearby field area” was positively correlated with Na (0.54), UV 254 absorbance of unfiltered water (0.54), N tot (0.52), Cl − (0.50), K (0.48), NO 2 − -N (0.42), and (NO 3 − +NO 2 − )-N (0.40), many of which may be linked to fertilizer use ( 90 92 ). Roads and fields were not correlated with microbial data.…”
