Abstract
Experiments were carried out with different depths of added topsoil, with different methods of cultivation and with different rates of application of fertilizers on an ash disposal site near Newark. Good yields of hay and wheat were obtained and were shown to vary systematically with the treatment of the plots. Good yields of wheat were obtained with a top dressing of 125 kg N/ha even on bare ash but, in contrast with the yields of DM from grass, yields of grain tended to increase with increasing depth of added soil. This pattern appeared to be influenced by the variations in spring rainfall. There appeared to be no adverse effects of uptake of trace elements from the ash.Keywords
