Extract

When this investigation was begun in 1929, the conception of intensive grassland management, involving rotational grazing and the liberal use of manures, including artificial nitrogenous fertilizers, was just coming into prominence in this country. It had become necessary to secure information about the improvement of yield and composition of herbage that could be brought about by such a system of management, since somewhat extravagant claims were being made for the magnitude of the effect of sulphate of ammonia and other soluble nitrogenous manures on the yield and composition of pastures.
