Description
Milk production responses to nitrogen fertiliser on tropical grass systems have been well documented (Davison et al. 1985a; 1985b). However, there are no reports on the long term phosphorus fertiliser requirements of dairy pastures. This experiment, which ran for 7 years, was designed to determine the long term phosphorus fertiliser requirements, for maintenance of a grass pasture fertilised with nitrogen. The effects of fertiliser level were monitored in terms of changes in soil fertility, plant productivity and milk yield.
