Abstract
In pot experiments on virgin soil and 2 soils previously given fertilizer and having soil P values of 48, 156 and 327 ppm, respectively, the uptake of P by pearl millet following Bahia grass or white clover, and the corresponding forage yields, were studied after adding fertilizer to increase soil P by 0, 4, 8, 12 or 16 ppm. With no added P, yields following Bahia grass were 2.6, 10.3 and 14.2 mg/pot, while those following white clover were 4.1, 16.3 and 15.4 mg/pot for the 3 soils. With 16 ppm added P, yields were 3.5, 16.4 and 13.9 mg/pot, following grass, and 9.0, 16.2 and 18.8 mg/pot following clover. Changes in the level of P in the oven-dried forage were small ranging from 0.01 to 0.03%, average levels of 0.08-0.10%
