Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Sulphur deficiency was severe in granite derived soil.
- Observation Sulphur deficiency was severe in basalt derived soil.
- Intervention effect Magnesium sulphate increased subterranean clover growth.
- Intervention effect Calcium sulphate increased subterranean clover growth.
- Intervention effect Thirty lb per acre sulphur achieved about 85 per cent of the growth increase.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus alone gave no significant benefit to established clover on either soil.
- Intervention effect Phosphorus combined with sulphur gave no greater yield than sulphur alone on basaltic soil.
- Observation Residual sulphur value was low under heavily sheep stocked pasture conditions.
- Intervention effect Stopping annual superphosphate dressings in year three or four caused a marked production decline from sulphur deficiency.
