| Abstract/Contents: | Briefly discusses the "soil acidity theory" before summarizing a study conducted during 1981 at Grasslands Division Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in New Zealand. Details methods and materials used during the trial, stating that "a browntop turf was established on a sandy loam soil having a pH [potential Hydrogen] of 5.2 and was divided into six treatments involving three rates of ammonium sulphate with and without lime." Reports that "the trial was conducted over a period of three years, and lime was applied with the objective of maintaining the soil under the heavy nitrogen treatment at approximately 5.0." Presents a table of the mean pH values for three rates of ammonium sulphate with and without lime at depths of 0-4 centimeters. Concludes that "lime at 1¼ to 1½ times the weight of ammonium sulphate would seem to be required to maintain a weed-free turf without affecting the vigour [vigor] of growth of the grass." |
