FERTILIZERS FOR EROME GRASS '
HAY AND PASTURE
Extension service Role use
Many 'at.ruskti Valley faners visited
our bromogrrss fertilizer trials at
the -latcnuska Form last summer. The
se as on’s data is now complot6 and
sinco there is a groat deal of in
terest in this work,, a brief summary
of the yields from the unfertilized
and the best fertilizer treatment arc
tabulated in the table at the foot
of this page. • •
Fertilized plots wore treated with ...
a mixture of 400 pounds per acre 32
percent ammonium nitrate, 200 pounds
per acre of 42 percent superphosphate
and 65 pounds per acre of 60 percent •
muriate of potash. This fertilizer
treatment resulted in a 5-fold in
crease yield regardless of ’whether
bromegrass was harvested as hay or
pasture. Even larger increases in
protein wore obtained depending on
how the crass was used. Throe cut
tings in the pasture experiment
yielded more protein per acre then
did two cuttings of hay despite the
fact that more total tonnage was ob
tained in the hay crop. This is a
reflection of how protein content is •
related to maturity, because the
grass was allowed to mature nor- when
cut for hay as indicated by the har
vesting detos.
Incroc'.3os in posture occurred mainly
durine .the, early part of the season,
lifter July 15 differences between
unfertilized end spring fertilized
plots were not great, apparently be
cause the entire nitrogen application
had been used up. 1'hesc trials show
ed th it applying another 200 pounds •
per acre of ammonium nitrate in mid
July insures a-more uniform level of
production than does a single spring
top-dressing.
Smaller amounts of nitrogen than th
those r- orted in the table produced
lower yields. It does not appear
profitable to spread less .than 100
pounds per acre of ammonium nitrate'
