| Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT
World literature relating to grass production on peat soUs is reviewed. If initial nutrient deficiencies are adequately corrected the grass potential is high. DM yields of 6500 kg/ha are attainable with moderate fertilizing. A high level of output must he maintained to justify the cost of reclamation. Light applications of P and K at regular intervals, coupled with heavy stocking or frequent defoliation, prevent pasture deterioration. |
