MOLYBDENUM RESPONSES AT INVERMAY

Abstract

After discussion with Dr E. B. Davies of the Soil Research Station about 2 years ago, the decision was made to lay down a mowing trial on secondclass undulating clay land at Invermay Agricultural Research Station, which is situated at North Taieri on the westerly side of the hills behind Dunedin. This soil has been shown to require heavy applications of lime and phosphate, but even then does not hold grass well under normal stock management. The disappearance of the better grasses is a consequence of the failure of clovers to thrive
