Description
A study was carried out at Wakwa Animal Research Station on the response of natural pasture to nitrogen fertilization in the presence of P 11osphorus and potassium, and a cutting frequency of 4 weeks. A Cmpletely randomized design with 6 replicates was used. Six fertiliser: 0, SO, 100, 150, 200, 2SO units of N/ha in association with 100 units of P and 100 units K after zero timing was applied after every cutting 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, SO units of Nlba were respectively added to plots which received 0, SO, 100, ISO, 200 and 250 units of Uha. Three years of study indicated that there was a highly significant (P<0.01) response of natural pasture to N f&tillser In the presence of I ' and K. The mean maximum production level of 7.33 t/DM/ha was c obtained with the rate of 2S0 units of N. This represented an increase lf 199% (P<0.01) compared with the control.
