Abstract

This paper summarises progress in a field-based study exploring the phosphorus (P) requirements of high producing perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea)-based pastures, where the constraints to pasture growth and associated P uptake imposed by low nitrogen (N) availability and soil moisture over summer-autumn and poor physical condition of the soil have been removed.
