The Effect of Fertilizer Applications on the Composition of Pasture Grasses¹

Effects of Mineral Nutrition on High Temperature Induced Growth Retardation of Kentucky Bluegrass1

“…Increases beyond this level resulted in decreased foliar production. This level ( 0.30%) compares closely to that reported by Pierre and Robinson ( 13), Vi nail and Wilkins ( 14), and Archibald and Bennett ( 1). Results from this experiment show that uptake under the low level of P exceeded this critical percentage while high P treatments resulted in extreme luxury consumption.…”

The Calcium and Phosphorus Content of Pasture Herbage and of Various Pasture Species as Affected by Fertilization and Liming1

“…Values above o.3o% would then represent luxury consumption. Although this value can be considered only tentative, it is interesting to note (Table 14) that it indicates a luxury consumption of phosphorus in the samples of bluegrass studied by Archibald and Bennett (3) and Vinall and Wilkins (37). That Archibald and Bennett's values represent luxury consumption is corroborated by the fact that their soil contained 154 p. p. m. of readily available phosphorus.…”

The response of hillside pastures to fertilizer applied by airplane

“…The quantities of protein obtained in pasture experiments were related to the amount of clover or nitrogen fertilization (2, 9, 10,11,15,22,23,25,28,32). Brown and Munsell (3), Schaller et al (28), and Vinall and Wilkins ( 32 ) found that when legumes were abundant, protein content of the forage was not increased with nitrogen fertilization. Several investigators (2, 13, 15, 20, 32) reported increased amounts of phosphorus in herbage from pastures receiving phosphate fertilizer.…”
