Abstract
On dryland Digitaria eriantha ammonium sulphate and limestone ammonium nitrate were superior to potassium nitrate and urea. With reference to the level of nitrogen fertilization it was found that levels in excess of 300 kg N/ha, and up to 400 kg N/ha, could be economically justified, even on a pasture with a high basal level of fertility.Keywords
