Abstract
Increases in herbage production ranging from approximately 43 to 96% resulted when various rates of limestone, together with fertilizer and a forage seed mixture, were applied to the surface of a sparse sward. When these treatments were applied to the surface of a dense sward increases ranged from approximately 9 to 25%. On both sward types cultivation and incorporation of fertilizer and limestone almost invariably produced yields which were significantly higher than those obtained when the treatments were applied on the surface.Keywords
