FOR THE FARMER
PASTURE MANAGEMENT It is only coxnparatively reeently ' that the value of nitrogenous fertilisers ori pasture land has been realised and exploited. So far as New Zealand is concerne'd it is now just over three years slnee the first shipment of synthetic Sulphate of Amrmonia came into the country for commercial use, and since then many thousands of tons have heen applied as top-dressing to pastures either as straight Sulphate of Ammonia or Ammoniated Super. As might he expected of a new development in grassland production, there was neeessarily an experinxental stage to discover when, where and hoW the nitrogen should be applied to best meet Iocal conditior.s, and Sulphate of Ammonia has ixow emerged from this stage as a very definite faetor in the seeuring of increased profits from g'rass. The Government trials, extending over the three years, have defined the value of nitrogen for the seeuring of early spring grass and late autumn and early winter feed, with all its benefits to the dairyfarmer and sheepf arm'er. In addition, its use xmproved the composition and balarice of the pastures in regard to ryegrass and clover.
