Pasture Fertilization Results

Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station, Baton Rouge, La.
Southwestern Louisiana Institute, Lafayette, La.

ABSTRACT

Pasture vegetation under conditions of this test responded quickly and profitably to nitrate, superphosphate, and cyanamid application. It responded more slowly to liming. Potash and ammonium sulphate was not effective.

The response was in greater growth rather than effecting composition of plants. There was a large seasonal difference in protein and yield with regard to time of cutting, however.

Milk production from nitrate and phosphate treated pasture was doubled, and from cyanamid, trebled over unfertilized plots.

Soil reaction has not changed adversely through proper fertilization.
