Sheep : Experimental Basis For Urea Feeding Recommendations, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Sheep : Experimental Basis For Urea Feeding Recommendations, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Recent scientific reviews have concluded that in spite of the great number of experimental observations recorded throughout the world there is no evidence yet to prove that urea can be used profitably for sheep on low quality roughages in genuine grazing conditions.
An experiment is in progress at Merredin Research Station this season, especially designed to demonstrate a response to urea by sheep grazing wheat stubbles, if such a response is possible.
Superphosphate For Wheatbelt Pastures : Rates Of Application, Walter Jacob Cox
Superphosphate For Wheatbelt Pastures : Rates Of Application, Walter Jacob Cox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BECAUSE Western Australian soils are low in phosphorus, frequent applications of superphosphate are required for both crop and pasture production. The recommended rates are determined from the results of field experiments that test different quantities of super and measure the extra yield.
This article discusses the recommended rates of superphosphate in relation to soil type and superphosphate history. Methods of application and time of topdressing are also discussed.

FARMERS were able to buy the two compound fertilisers N-P Compound Fertiliser 28:14 and N-P Compound Fertilser 24:24 in the 1967 season.

FARMING the light lands of the West Midland area would be impossible without fertilisers.
Most light land areas are inherently very low in phosphate and also require nitrogen.
The nitrogen can come from fertiliser for cereal crops, or can be built up by growing appropriate legume pasture plants such as clovers and lupins.

THE sandplain soils and climate of the West Midlands area are primarily suited to grazing.
However, the place of cereals is receiving a great deal of attention in view of their advantages in the early stages of development, and the need for the diversification of farm production.

ALTHOUGH 'double' or 'concentrated' superphosphate was first commercially manufactured in 1872 it was not until the 1950's that it became a major commercial fertiliser. In 1965 it accounted for about 15 per cent, of the world production of phosphatic fertilisers.
