Description

Pasture dry matter yields from individual cuts of multi-year phosphorus (P) fertilizer field trials were analyzed for evidence of consistent seasonal trends in the response to P. The relative response to P was greatest in the late autumn - winter period, with the seasonal variation in relative yield being greater where soil fertility and mean annual relative yields were lowest.

Seasonality in the Response of Perennial Grass-Clover Pastures to Phosphorus Fertiliser

Pasture dry matter yields from individual cuts of multi-year phosphorus (P) fertilizer field trials were analyzed for evidence of consistent seasonal trends in the response to P. The relative response to P was greatest in the late autumn - winter period, with the seasonal variation in relative yield being greater where soil fertility and mean annual relative yields were lowest.
