| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted by Grasslands Division Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in Palmerston North, New Zealand, to compare the effectiveness of measuring pH [potential Hydrogen] levels at two different depths. Details materials and methods used during the experiment, stating that "plots of browntop were treated at three different rates of ammonium sulphate, 2000, 1350, and 670 kg/ha/year [kilograms per hectare per year]. Each of these treatments was then divided into a limed and non-limed section." Reports that "as the objective of the experiment was to try and find the level of lime to use at each rate of ammonium sulphate, it was realised [realized] after one year that a heavier rate was required." Presents three tables depicting pH levels during the Januaries of 1975, 1976, and 1977. Concludes that "it is clear that the effect of ammonium sulphate on pH is greater on the topsoil than it is below." |
