| Abstract/Contents: | "Positive effects of liming on the nitrogen (N) contents of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) shoots might be due in part to the effects of increased exogenous calcium (Ca) level on the rate of N uptake by plants. To test this hypothesis, perennial ryegrass was grown in soil culture treated with different rates of lime, gypsum, and ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), in a factorial combination. The effects of these treatments on yield, N offtake, and shoot chemical composition were examined at two consecutive harvests. At both harvests, liming significantly increased plant yield and N offtake. There was no response to gypsum at cut 1; but at the second harvest, a negative interaction occurred between the two Ca treatments such that gypsum increased plant yield and N offtake in the absence of lime but not in its presence. The results suggest that liming affects N recovery by swards in at least two different ways, each associated with a different phase in the soil MIT (Mineralizaiton Immobilization Turnover) cycle. During phases of net N mineralizaiton, liming by raising soil pH stimulates biomass activity and increases the amount of organic N mineralized. In contrast, during phases of net N immobilization, liming by increasing Ca availability in the rhizosphere improves the ability of plants to absorb N, and thus helps them to compete more effectively with the biomass for mineral N." |
