Pasture investigations in the sandy forest country of north-west Queensland. 1. Nutritional requirements

Abstract

The effects of several nutrients on Townsville stylo (Stylosanthes humilis) were assessed in two field experiments near Normanton in north-west Queensland. In the first experiment, the response to three rates of phosphorus in the presence and absence of potassium, sulphur,molybdenum, zinc, magnesium-plus-manganese and copper-plus-boron was examined on a sandy yellow earth soil of the Mayvale land system. In the second experiment, on a mottled grey earth soil, four rates of phosphorus and zinc and two rates of potassium were c~mpared.
