Over 2 tons of dry matter per acre were obtained from pure seedings of timothy and of brome in the seeding year with an application of 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Nitrogen at 200 and 400 pounds per acre produced no further significant yield increase. In the second year, yields were significantly increased by each increment of nitrogen applied in the seeding year up to and including 400 pounds per acre with brome and 200 pounds per acre with timothy. Nitrogen content of grasses increased with each increment of nitrogen in the seeding year but this effect was not consistent in the second year. Over the 2-year period grasses recovered approximately 65 per cent of the applied nitrogen at the 100- and 200-pound levels and about 40 per cent at the 400-pound level.Red clover and alfalfa seeded in mixture with timothy and with brome were about equal in yield to grass alone plus 100 pounds of nitrogen in the seeding year and were much superior in the second year. Application of 100 pounds of nitrogen to grass-legume mixtures increased both yield and nitrogen content in the first cutting. In subsequent cuttings, total yield and legume fraction of the yield were often depressed by nitrogen treatment; exceptions were noted where legume stands were weak.Apparent nitrogen fixation by the legumes was consistently reduced by nitrogen treatment. Vigorous legume stands had an apparent nitrogen fixation of 60 pounds per acre in the seeding year and up to 200 pounds in the second year.

SummaryThe effects of phosphorus enrichment of Azolla inoculum and phosphorus fertilization during intercropping on the growth, nitrogen fixation and phosphorus content of Azolla caroliniana and the grain yield, straw yield and nitrogen uptake of rice were studied for four consecutive seasons. The phosphorus-enriched Azolla maintained a higher plant phosphorus content and produced a greater biomass and nitrogen yield than the unenriched Azolla. Application of phosphorus during intercropping significantly increased the dry weight, nitrogen yield and phosphorus content of both unenriched and phosphorus-enriched Azolla. The differences between the enriched and unenriched Azolla declined as increasing levels of phosphorus were applied during intercropping. The grain and straw yields and nitrogen uptake of rice were increased both by phosphorus-enrichment of Azolla inoculum and by phosphorus fertilization during intercropping.La gestión de fósforos para la siembra simultánea del Azolla y el arroz

SummaryImproved management compared with traditional practices common in northern Syria for growing field bean (Vicia faba L.), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris), peas (Pisum sativum) and vetch (Vicia sativa) was shown to increase significantly (P < 0·001) the crop nitrogen (N) uptake and subsequent protein yields in either hay, grain or straw. This intervention more than doubled N uptake in 1982–3 when averaged over crops and locations increasing from 31·8 kg N/ha under traditional management to 68·7 kg N/ha under improved management. Improved management also increased the proportion of nitrogen uptake that was derived from symbiotic nitrogen fixation by the crop from 55 to 69%. The treatments which gave improved crop N uptake were application of phosphate fertilizer, reduced row spacing and control of weeds. Seed inoculation with rhizobia had little or no effect on N uptake or on the proportion of N that was fixed biologically by the crop. Environmental effects on productivity, as expressed by seasonal and locational differences, were as, or more, important than management-imposed effects.Differences in N uptake by barley, following either a legume crop or barley, indicated that the residual effects of the legume crop amounted to approximately 10 kg N/ha. This represents a substantial contribution to the N nutrition of a barley crop in the dry areas of northern Syria.
