Abstract
The residual effects of 0-270 t FYM/ha applied annually in 1971-3 on forage yields and mineral composition of (a) Pennisetum americanum and (b) rye cv. Wrens Abruzzi were evaluated in 1974-6. Yields in 1974-6 and total N and NO3-N contents of the forage in 1974-5 were significantly higher where 180 or 270 t FYM/ha had been applied than where lower rates had been given. P and to some extent, Zn contents of (a) were increased by 22.5 and 45 t FYM/ha and levelled off or decreased at higher rates. The residual effect of FYM also increased the content of K in (a) in 1974 and, generally, Mg in (a) and K and Ca in (b), and decreased Mn in both crops. Plant and soil data suggested that N limited plant growth in manured plots except at the higher rates
