Body

Applications of nitrogen fertilizer increased yields and protein content of Western Nebraska range forage. Amounts of acid extractable phosphorus in the soil decreased following nitrogen fertilization. Forages from fertilized plots showed no appreciable increase in phosphorus content. Increased yields were not accompanied by major changes in available soil moisture or development of underground plant parts. This data was collected over a 1-year period under a National Science Foundation, Undergraduate Research Participation grant. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries. The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
