“…The symptoms were similar to those described by McNaught & Dorofaeff (1965), except that their "red" colour of basal leaves should be more aptly called "brick red", to clearly distinguish it from the purplish shade on terminal leaves associated with boron deficiency, which may appear in late spring. It was also observed that strongly coloured leaves died in about 2 weeks.…”

“…Mg in herbage Mg concentrations in herbage from "control" plots (nil Mg) were consistently low (Table 3), and, except for harvest 5, were within the range 0.08-0.13% reported by McNaught & Dorofaeff (1965) for Mgdeficient white clover. Mg concentrations in clover were markedly increased by all Mg fertilisers.…”

“…Soil fertility, however, remained low, with the following MAF advisory soil test values of the top 7.5 em: pH 5.3; calcium (Ca) 1.5; potassium (K) 3; Mg 2.9; and Truog phosphorus (P) 2 (Mountier et al 1966;McNaught & Dorofaeff 1965).…”

“…Further work on this site, and on another in the region, at Kaingaroa (McNaught & Dorofaeff 1965), established a critical Mg concentration of Received 17 April 1984;revision 18 October 1984 0.12% in white clover (Trifolium repens L.), grown in soil containing exchangeable-Mg at concentrations less than 0.15 meq/ 100 g (advisory test value 2 1 ) . Magnesium concentrations associated with near-maximum yield were 0.13-0.21 %, average 0.16%.…”

Marked and consistent yield responses to magnesium (Mg) fertilisers were recorded over a 2-year-period from clover-dominant pasture growing on a yellow-brown pumice soil in the Central Plateau region of the North Island. Annual applications of serpentine superphosphate (24 kg Mg/ha), dolomite (25 kg Mg/ha), and magnesium sulphate (24 kg Mg/ha) respectively raised dry matter yield to 92, 94, and 96% of the maximum, produced by 48 kg Mg/ha, applied as magnesium sulphate. Mean Mg concentrations in white clover were increased from 0.11% in plots receiving no applied Mg to 0.18, 0.18, 0.22, and 0.29% respectively where Mg was applied in the 4 forms described. The mean critical Mg concentration of 0.22% associated with near-maximum yield was higher than those obtained in similar trials conducted earlier on Mg-deficient forest nursery sites in the region. Possible reasons for this are discussed. It is concluded that pasture on similar lighttextured soils with low Mg status may also benefit from Mg additions.

“…Statistical analysis showed that this difference between the two types of management and its interaction with depth was significant. In contrast the quick test Mg level (McNaught & Dorofaeff 1965) was unaffected below a depth of 7.6 cm ( Table 1).…”

White clover, red clover, lucerne and sainfoin were grown in the field, and the mineral composition and cation/anion balance of the herbage were determined on samples taken at advancing stages of growth on eight occasions from 29 April to 18 July.The elements which showed the greatest differences in content between species were calcium, sodium, and molybdenum. White clover was consistently higher than the other species in nitrogen, phosphorus, chlorine and molybdenum. Sainfoin was consistently and substantially lower in calcium and sodium than the other species.Evidence based on the total contents of cations and inorganic anions and on determinations of ash alkalinity indicated that white clover and red clover had the highest contents of organic acids, sainfoin having substantially lower, and lucerne intermediate, levels.
