On the Transvaal Highveld studies were made of the response of Eragrostis curvula to applications of nitrogenous fertilizers. In one series of experiments nitrogen dressings were applied annually to a pasture over a period of 8 years. In a second series measurements were made of the effects of applying nitrogen to pastures of different ages. In both series increases were recorded in yield and in the protein content of the herbage.
