“…Munns and Fox (1976) reached similar results with some legumes in a pot experiment when oxisol was limed to pH 6. A decrease in clover yields with high lime levels was observed also by Ssali (1981) in a soil with organic matter content exceeding 3 %. The possible reason for the decreased growth may be e.g.…”

“…The possible reason for the decreased growth may be e.g. the high Ca concentration in the soil (Munns and Fox 1976), the inbalance in Ca/Mg (Jokinen 1981 a), the incapacity to take up non-exchangeable cations (unlike ryegrass) and decrease in nodule number, nodule weight and N fixation (Edwards et al 1981, Ssali 1981. Edwards et al (1981) obtained the highest yield increases of cowpea with 2.5 t/ha lime at pH 4.3; higher lime amounts decreased the yield.…”

“…In previous experiments on the effect of lime and N fertilization on the clover, atten-tion was focused to the yield, N content and N uptake (e.g. Munns 1965, MuNNsand Fox 213 JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE IN FINLAND 1976, Munns et al 1977, Rice et al 1977, Craig et al 1981, Ssali 1981, Aura and Kemppainen 1983). The contents and uptake of Ca, Mg and K have been studied less (e.g.…”

Mixed stands of clovers and timothy grew well in unlimed (Ca0) acid soil (pH(CaCl2) 4.8). The highest total yield of red clover-timothy was obtained at a low lime level (Ca1 = 12g /pot CaCO3). The yield of red clover alone responded to liming similarly. The reducing effect of N fertilization (2000 mg/pot N as NH4NO3) on the yield of clovers was greatest in the first growing season (cuts 1 to 4) without lime, and in the second growing season (cuts 5 to 7) with lime (Ca1 = 12g /pot, Ca2 = 24g/pot). Liming without N fertilization promoted the growth of timothy only in the two first cuts; N fertilization increased the yield at all lime levels. Liming increased the Ca content of clovers, but there were no differences between lime levels. Mg and K showed a decreasing trend. N fertilization did not affect the nutrient content of clovers. A good quality of clover yield reguired adequate amounts of other fertilizations than N. In timothy, the Ca content increased slightly at all lime levels; the N and K contents increased by N fertilization. The N uptake by red clover was highest at the Ca, level, by white clover and alsike clover at the Ca0 level. The proportion of clover was larger than that of timothy of the uptake of N, P, Ca and Mg. When N was applied, the uptake of K showed an opposite direction.
