Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation An individual urination affects a roughly circular area of tall rescue with a radius of 21 to 25 inches.
- Observation The effect of urine on tall rescue vegetation decreases in a linear manner from the center to the periphery of the urine spot.
- Association The effect of urine on tall rescue decreases quite rapidly with time after deposition.
- Observation The urine effect ceases to be of practical significance within at most 10 months after deposition.
- Observation Under conditions in the southeastern United States, urine from grazing cattle appears to contribute little to pasture fertility as a whole.
