Soils on which buffel grass seedlings respond to phosphate fertiliser [Western Queensland]

Eleven soils were tested. The addition of 26 kg Paper ha to the surface of fertile, cracking clays and alluvial sols did not markedly improve seedling growth rate, but a large positive response was achieved on four acid red earths, on a grey loam and on a loose sandy soil.

Summary:Eleven soils were tested. The addition of 26 kg Paper ha to the surface of fertile, cracking clays and alluvial sols did not markedly improve seedling growth rate, but a large positive response was achieved on four acid red earths, on a grey loam and on a loose sandy soil. All three buffel strains used (Biloela, Gayndah and Q10087) responded similarly.
