Abstract:
The effect of sulphate of ammonia a d superphosphate on the crude protein and moisture content of burnt, cut, and unburnt serrated tussock, (Nassella trichotoma (Nees.) Hack.), has been noted. Superphosphate, either alone or with sulphate of ammonia, had no effect. Sulphate of ammonia, significantly increased the moisture content and crude protein content of the weed, and cattle selectively grazed areas treated with higher rates.
