1. Twenty-one experiments were carried out in various parts of England and Scotland in 1959–61 comparing two or more of the nitrogen sources ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate, calcium nitrate and urea, combine-drilled in compound fertilizers for spring barley.2. Ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate combine-drilled at rates from 35 to 105 lb./acre of nitrogen checked early growth slightly in some of the experiments, with no important difference between the two sources, which also gave similar grain yields.3. Calcium nitrate and urea combine-drilled at 45 lb./acre of nitrogen had no large effect on early growth, while at 70 and 90 lb./acre both fertilizers seriously delayed brairding and reduced the plant population in many of the experiments, especially in eastern England. They gave lower yields than ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate in many of the experiments in which early growth was affected, and gave lower mean yields at all rates of application.4. In eleven of the experiments, broadcast applications of two or more of the four nitrogen fertilizers were compared. All sources gave similar mean yields.5. There was a slightly smaller yield from combine drilling than from broadcasting ammonium sulphate and ammonium nitrate, and a markedly smaller yield from calcium nitrate and urea.

Effective Source

The effect of nitrogen source and method of application on yield and N uptake of dryland grain sorghum was studied, using 15-nitrogen labelled fertilizers. The nitrogen sources were ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate and urea, and the methods were banded, mixed and split application, using a rate of 50 kg N ha-1 throughout. The experiment was conducted over two wet seasons, 1970-71 and 1971-72. Method of application increased yield and nitrogen uptake in the order banded > mixed > split. Source of nitrogen resulted in the order ammonium sulphate = ammonium nitrate > urea. In the drier season, urea behaved somewhat differently, i.e. banded urea > banded ammonium nitrate= banded ammonium sulphate. Calculation of percentage recovery in general confirmed these results. It was concluded that nitrogenous fertilizer is more effective when banded, and that urea was a less effective source of nitrogen than the two ammonium salts. The results obtained with 15-nitrogen revealed a significant treatment effect that was not apparent in non-tracer experiments namely, the poor performance of urea in the second year. Because of its greater sensitivity, and because it identifies the nitrogen derived from fertilizer, the 15-nitrogen technique has scope for use in field experiments comparing fertilizers and cultural techniques.

The results are reported of field experiments with nitrogen-fertilized pasture grasses at Samford and D'Aguilar in south-eastern Queensland. The main findings were :- 1. Nitrogen applied as urea or ammonium sulphate increased the annual yield of dry matter under mowing from 1,000- 5,000 lb up to 10,000-20,000 lb an acre, and rates of fertilizer in excess of 400 lb of elemental nitrogen an acre a year were required ,for maximum grass yields during favourable seasons. 2. Ammonium sulphate, applied at rates up to 400 lb N/acre/year, had relatively little effect on the percentage of nitrogen in Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana Kunth.), Paspalum dilatatum Poir., and P. commersonii Lam., cut three times a year. Rates of urea above those required for maximum growth markedly increased the percentage nitrogen content of a Sorghum almum Parodi-blue couch (Digitaria didactyla Willd.) mixture. 3. In an experiment with Rhodes grass, P. dilatatum and P. commersonii, nitrogen recovery rose with increasing rates of ammonium sulphate. At 70 lb N/acre/year the average nitrogen recovery by Rhodes grass was 10 per cent; at 400 lb N/acre/year it was 47 per cent. 4. The residual effects of ammonium sulphate, measured on Rhodes grass during the growing season following two years of fertilization, were very small indeed. 5. Use of nitrogen fertilizers sometimes caused marked changes in the botanical composition of the sward.

Selenium (Se) has been recently reported to play a crucial role in ameliorating the negative impact of abiotic stress, including salinity, on several plant species. Two field experiments (2016/17 and 2017/18) were carried out to investigate the possible effect of exogenous Se application at two levels (25, 50 mg L−1) on growth, bulb yield, physio-biochemical attributes, and antioxidant activities of onion grown under saline (5.25 dS m−1) soil condition. Se (25 or 50 mg L−1) foliar application enhanced growth characteristics, as well as membrane stability index (MSI) and relative water content (RWC) as a result of the osmotic adjustment by accumulating more osmoprotectants and enhancing the activity of antioxidants defense system, thus improving photosynthetic efficiency and bulb yield. Proline, glycine betaine, choline, and total soluble sugars content were higher in leaves and bulbs of Se-treated plants under salt stress. Se (25 or 50 mg L−1) significantly increased the activities of enzymatic (ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase) and non-enzymatic (ascorbic acid and glutathione) antioxidants in both leaves and bulbs of salt-stressed onion. Se application at 25–50 mg L−1 may find, in the future, a potential application as anti-abiotic stresses for improving plant growth and productivity under saline soil condition.

Elemental Calcium

Abiotic stresses in sandy soil, which include saline water, saline soil, and lack of nutrients, affect the productivity and quality traits of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L). Elemental calcium (Ca2+) is necessary for the proper development of peanut pods. This work aimed at comparing conventional Ca and nano-Ca form effects on peanut production and quality traits. Two randomized complete block field experiments were conducted in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Treatments were control, gypsum plus calcium nitrate Ca(NO3)2, Ca(NO3)2, and chelated calcium, as well as 100, 75, 50, 25, and 12.5% of Ca(NO3)2 doses in a nano form. The results indicated that the treatment of gypsum plus conventional CaNO3 achieved the highest yield and best quality traits, followed by the Ca(NO3)2 and 100% nano Ca(NO3)2 treatments. The treatments of the control, gypsum, and 12.5% nano Ca(NO3)2 had the lowest effect on peanut performance. The conventional treatment of gypsum plus Ca(NO3)2 resulted in the greatest seed yield (1.6 ton ha−1), oil yield (700.3 kg ha−1), and protein yield (380.1 kg ha−1). Peanuts may benefit from Ca2+ better by using gypsum as the soil application and calcium nitrate as the foliar application to prevent disorders of Ca2+ deficiency under sandy soil conditions.

Hoof, formalized hoof, formalized casein, leather wastes and dried blood were compared with ammonium sulphate for vegetables in several field experiments which were continued for a number of years. Residual effects were measured in one experiment at Rothamsted.For crops which had a high requirement for nitrogen, hoof and formalized casein tended to give somewhat lower yields than equivalent ammonium sulphate. Organic nitrogen fertilizers tended to be slightly superior to ammonium sulphate for less responsive crops, and also in experiments where the high rate of ammonium gave lower yields than the medium rate.Crushed hoof and a formalized casein product gave similar yields of most crops. There were no marked gains from treating hoof with formalin; a coarse (5·7 mm.) sample of formalized casein did not give materially different yields from the ordinary fine (2 mm.) product.One leather product made by simple roasting was inferior to ammonium sulphate and to hoof. Other leather wastes processed by alkalis did not behave very differently from crushed hoof or from ammonium sulphate. Dried blood was tested in a few experiments, there were no significant differences between yields given by blood and by ammonium sulphate.In experiments on a light soil, spring cabbages planted in autumn were very sensitive to the time of applying nitrogen fertilizer; there were much larger gains in yield from ammonium sulphate applied half at planting and half in spring, than from either ammonium sulphate or organic nitrogen fertilizers applied wholly at planting.

The Mean

SUMMARYIn 92 field experiments in Tanzania's major cotton-growing area south and east of Lake Victoria mean yield without fertilizer was nearly 900 kg/ha of seed cotton. The mean direct effect of 224 kg/ha of single superphosphate with 202 kg/ha of ammonium sulphate was 380 kg/ha of seed cotton; with twice as much fertilizer the increment was 525 kg. First and second residual responses made important contributions to the total effect of superphosphate. In most zones the response to each fertilizer was large but in Nassa response to superphosphate was small; in Nzega yields were small and there was no response to ammonium sulphate, perhaps because Calidea dregei caused abscission of bolls; on the acid soils of Ukerewe Island yields and responses to superphosphate were small.Data are given to show the average amounts of plant nutrients in the soils most used for cotton. Correlations of yields with soil chemical data suggest that some soils lack enough calcium for large yields. A long-term experiment at the Ukiriguru research farm (Le Mare, 1972) showed that productivity of impoverished soil growing cotton every year was recovered and improved by lime with phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizers: the experiments throughout the cotton area indicated that those results were widely relevant.
