Abstract
An experiment was carried out in 1929 and 1930 to obtain a measure of the effects of nitrogenous fertilisers used in combination with rotational grazing, on grass adequately supplied with phosphates, potash and calcium. A comparison of the two years has shown that the magnitude of these effects is governed by climatic conditions, and in the absence of a sufficient supply of moisture the increase in the quantity of herbage produced is reduced.Keywords
