Body
The use of a seed coating to supply buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) seedlings with adequate phosphate for rapid growth on infertile, acid red earth appears practical. The concept may also apply to other phosphorus - demanding grasses such as Anthephora pubescens. Extensive field testing is now required to see if enhanced early seedling growth rate improves establishment reliability on infertile soils under natural conditions . . . . .
