Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Omitting phosphorus reduced first-year lucerne yields to less than 14 t/ha.
- Observation Lucerne yields decreased in the second year as the applied phosphorus was depleted.
- Intervention effect Following phosphorus depletion, lucerne yield showed a linear response up to 80 kg/ha P.
- Intervention effect Omitting phosphorus fertiliser reduced lucerne plant phosphorus concentration from 0.23 to 0.21% when sampled 15 months after sowing.
- Intervention effect Omitting zinc reduced the plant zinc concentration of lucerne.
- Intervention effect Omitting nitrogen, potassium, sulfur or zinc from the fertiliser had no effect on lucerne yields.
- Observation Plant phosphorus concentration of lucerne decreased with time in all treatments.
- Observation Available soil phosphorus decreased to 6-7 ¦g/g after 6 months from an initial 12 ¦g/g.
- Observation Available soil phosphorus decreased further to 2 ¦g/g after 30 months.
