    Notes: [Auszug] THE loss of soil by erosion induced by man's activities is now a serious and increasing problem. More land is brought into cultivation every year to support a growing population, but the overall loss from erosion is greater than the gain. A Workshop on the assessment of erosion in Europe and the ...

    Notes: Summary White clover appears to be much more sensitive, in terms of dry-matter production, to variations of soil moisture than Italian ryegrass. The results show that a variation of 5 in the percentage of water (moist-soil basis) on either side of the field-capacity figure can cause a statistically significant effect in the dry weight of Italian ryegrass in pot culture, although a slightly larger percentage may be necessary for white clover to be affected as standard errors in pot culture with this crop tend to be higher. With an adequate supply of soil phosphorus the greater the amount of readily available water the greater the percentage of P2O5 in Italian ryegrass; with white clover it rises to a maximum then falls off under very wet Statistically significant differences in percentage P2O5 for both crops can be obtained whit those variations in the water supply which caused significant differences in dry weight.

    Notes: Summary The composition of the leachate from undisturbed monolith lysimeters cropped with white clover or meadow fescue or maintained bare was compared with that of the rain falling on them. No nitrogen fertilizer was applied only an initial dressing of phosphorus and potassium. The grass received much more nitrogen from the rain than it lost by leaching whereas the clover lost more than it received. Most of the leached nitrogen was NO3-N - 92 per cent on the bare soil and 90 per cent on the clover. About 27lb nitrogen per acre (30 kg/ha) per year was drained from the actively growing clover sward rising to about 117lb N/acre/year (131 kg/ha) when the clover died or was removed. Only 2.3lb/ac (2.5 kg/ha) was drained from the actively growing grass sward. It was estimated that the clover fixed at least 270lb N/ac/year (303 kg/ha/year. The rates of leaching of potassium from a grass sward was about 1.7lb/ac/year (1.9 kg/ha) and 0.8 lb (0.9 kg) phosphorus. The quantities were similar for clover. The grass received from the rain more phosphorus and potassium than was leached but only 60 per cent of the calcium and 13 per cent of the magnesium, similar results being obtained with white clover. During the year of establishment of the grass sward there was evidence of loss of gaseous nitrogen (elemental and/or compound) from the soil: subsequently the nitrogen content of the soil slowly increased. Calcium loss from the bare soil with an average rainfall of 26″ (650 mm) was about 100 lb Ca/ac/year (112 kg/ha).

    Description: 1. Pot culture experiments are described comparing the recovery of nitrogen, and sulphur by the difference and ‘labelled atom’ methods and the recovery of carbon by the latter method. Italian ryegrass was used as the test crop with ammonium sulphate, calcium nitrate and urea as the fertilizers.2. The recovery of fertilizer nitrogen was less using the ‘labelled atom’ technique than the conventional difference method.3. The recovery of sulphur from ammonium sulphate ‘labelled’ with 35S was measured. It was considerably less than the nitrogen, but not inconsiderable especially as a basal dressing of ‘unlabelled’ K2SO4 was applied.4. Using urea ‘labelled’ with 13C there was no evidence that any of the carbon was in the ryegrass four weeks after application.

    Description: A laboratory and pot-culture investigation to seek reasons for the variable response of grass and other crops to top-dressings of urea, and to the occasional phytotoxicity to seedlings of urea either mixed in the soil or drilled in contact with the seeds is described.The part played by biuret, the chief impurity in commercial urea, has been examined. It can be phytotoxic to germinating seedlings when in contact, but in the quantities likely to be applied in agriculture in top-dressings, e.g. 150 lb. of urea with up to 2·5% of biuret, its effect is negligible. Up to at least 5% of biuret can be present in urea without affecting its ammonification or nitrification in soil.It has been shown that loss of nitrogen to the atmosphere can account for the poorer responses of grassland to top-dressings of urea as compared with ‘Nitro-Chalk’ or ammonium sulphate.The phytotoxic behaviour of pure urea to germinating seeds seems to be due to rapid production of ammonia. This gas is also evolved from topdressings of urea. Both the phytotoxicity and the loss to the atmosphere can be reduced by mixing urea with acid salts to neutralize the ammonia.

    Description: SUMMARYA laboratory investigation was made of the ammonification and nitrification in soil of pure urea with and without pure biuret and pure biuret alone. The soils ranged from acid (pH 5·1) to calcareous (pH 7·9). The work was done at two temperatures 5 and 25°C. The time between adding urea to the soil and the first analysis was from 1 h to 1 week. The soil moisture contents ranged from the wilting percentage to field capacity. In all work involving urea, ammonium sulphate was used as a standard to compare rates of nitrification.Biuret had no detectable effect on the rates of ammonification and nitrification of urea. Biuret by itself nitrified in all the soils at both temperatures being slowest at 5 °C in the acid soil and fastest in the calcareous at 25°C.Neither pH nor temperature appreciably affected the ammonification of urea but both had a marked effect on nitrification. The lower the pH and the lower the temperature the slower the nitrification. Ammonium from urea nitrified faster than ammonium sulphate and on the acid soil only ammonium from the urea nitrified.The moisture content of the soil only affected ammonification of urea slightly but had a marked effect on the nitrification, the drier the soil the slower the nitrification. The same observation applied to ammonium sulphate.
