Summary.
The experimental site was a peat soil at Hvanneyri, located 64° 34'
northern latitude and 21° 40' western longitude.
The experiments were concerned with the application of phosphorus
fertilizer at establishment of a permanent grass field:
A. Methods phosphorus application.
B. Phosphorus fertilizer and cow manure.
In one of the experiments liming and grasing were combined with
methods of phosphorus application.
Triple superphosphate (19.7% P) was used as phosphorus fertilizer.
Without P-fertilizer application no growth of grasses occurs on the
peat soil at Hvanneyri after drainage. tillage and sowing.
Heavy application of P-fertilizer (153—350 kg/ha P) without a fol
lowing yearly application resulted in a decrease in P-percentage of the
grasses, throughout the years.
Higher yields were achieved by yearly application of 31 kg/ha P for
five years, than by a application of 153 kg/ha P at establishment of
the grass field without following yearly application.
The experiments indicate that by early sowing rotatilling of the P-
fertilizer (153—350 kg/ha P) to 20 cm depth may cause higher yields
than surface broadcasting of the same amount. Especially may the rota-
tilling of the P-fertilizer cause a yield increase if the heavy application
is followed by yearly P-application.
Grasing, liming and method of P-application affected the botanical
