“…Yield responses reflecting negative lime-P interactions on acidic soils high in soluble Al have been noted in pots with grasses and legumes as test plants (Shoop et al .• 1961) and under field conditions with several crop species (Sanchez & Salinas, 1981). Munns (1965) reported both positive and negative lime-P interactions in the growth of lucerne on a severely P-deficient soil under glasshouse conditions.…”

“…Plant responses to lime and P on such soils have, particularly under glasshouse conditions, received much attention (Shoop, Brooks, Blaser & Thomas, 1961), with interactions between these amendments being frequently noted. However, despite the emphasis in recent years on the importance of nutrient interactions on farm profitability (Cooke, 1982;Wagner, 1981;1983), relatively few attempts have been made to verify the existence of such interactions under field conditions.…”

Lime and phosphorus (P) requirements for the growth of temperate pasture species on acid, well-drained soils in the Natal Midlands were evaluated in factorial field trials. Species studied were white clover (Trifolium repens) , tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) and Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum). All three species exhibited large yield responses to lime and P. In addition, evidence for both positive and negative lime-P interactions was present in dry matter production data. Positive interactions, exhibited during the establishment phase of growth of white clover and Italian ryegrass, appeared to be restricted to conditions of severe P deficiency. Yield data of all species contained evidence of negative interactions, which occurred at more favourable levels of P supply. Negative interactions reflect a decrease in response to P with increasing lime supply (to salt pH values of approximately 5.5). The latter interactions are of major importance from a practical standpoint since they imply a 'trade-off' between lime and P in pasture production. Consideration is given to the role of soluble AI in the development of lime-P interactions, as, well as to factors possibly responsible for a noted lime-induced yield depression in the case of white clover.Die behoeftes aan kalk en fosfor (P) vir gro",i .van gematigde weidingsgewasse op suur, goed-gedreineerde gronde is deur proewe op landerye ondersoek. Spesies wat bestudeer is, was witklawer (Trifolium repens), lang swenkgras (Festuca arundinacea) en Italiaanse raaigras (Lolium multiflorum). AI drie spesies het duidelike reaksies op kalk en P getoon. Daarbenewens is bewyse van sowel positiewe asook negatiewe kalk-fosfor wisselwerkings ten opsigte van droa materiaal opbrengs gelewer. Positiewe wisselwerkings wat gedurende die vestigingsperiode van wit klawer en Italiaanse raaigras tot uiting gebring is, was blykbaar beperk tot toestande van strawwe P-tekorte. Opbrengsdata van aile spesies dui op negatiewe wisselwerkings wat by meer gunstige pyle van P voorsiening voorgekom het. Dit weerspieal 'n afname in reaksie op P namate die kalkvoorsiening (tot sout pH waardes van ongeveer 5.5) toeneem. Vanuit 'n praktiese oogpunt beskou, is hierdie wisselwerking van groot be lang aangesien dit 'n 'verhandelbaarheid' (uitruilbaarheid van kalk en P vir die produksie van weidings) aandui. Oorweging is geskenk aan die rol wat oplosbare aluminium in die ontwikkeling van kalk-fosfor wisselwerkings speel, asook aan faktore wat in die geval van witklawer moontlik verantwoordelik is vir die duidelike onderdrukking van opbrengste as gevolg van kalktoediening.Keywords: Acid soils, liming, nutrient interactions, phosphorus fertilization *To whom correspondence should be addressed Introduction 885 mm and pan evaporation 1 478 mm).

Calcified seaweed, the particulate remains of a calcareous red algae, is used as a soil conditioner; but little is known of its effects. Two glasshouse pot experiments examined the effects of calcified seaweed application on a Hapludalf (Salwick series sandy silt loam) and Lolium perenne. Experiment 1 examined the effects of different particle sizes of calcified seaweed on soil pH. Particle size analysis showed that 81.59% of particles were 1-4 mm in diameter. Significant (PϽ0.05) increases in soil pH were only found after the application of particles Ͻ1 mm in diameter. Experiment 2 aimed to elucidate the modes of action of calcified seaweed on soil and Lolium perenne. Apparent increases were found in shoot and root growth after calcified seaweed application. Results demonstrated that localized changes in soil pH were established, which reflected application rate and particle size distribution. Subsequent changes in shoot elemental composition were a function of these 311 ORDER REPRINTS localized pH changes. Due to the high CaCO 3 content of calcified seaweed, changes in nutrient availability were primarily due to the addition of CaCO 3 and subsequent soil pH changes. Overall, the effect of calcified seaweed on soils and plants was dependent on application rate, particle size distribution and rate of nutrient release. A continuum in mode of action appeared to exist with application rate. At the low application rate (0.63 t ha Ϫ1 ) calcified seaweed appeared to act as a calcium (Ca)-based soil conditioner. At higher application rates, the effects were similar to those associated with calcitic lime.

“…Detrimental effects of low pH, including reduced shoot and root growth, lower vigor, and reduced competitive ability, occurred on strongly acid soils with pH below 5.5 (Murray and Foy, 1978). Maximum plant growth was obtained from about pH 6.0 to 7.0, with declining growth at higher pH (Shoop et al, 1961; Palazzo and Duell, 1974). Shoop et al (1961) also reported some reciprocal compensation of lime and P. The association of the lime response with amelioration of Al toxicity (Shoop et al, 1961; Fleming et al, 1974; Murray and Foy, 1978) and P response only to low rates of fertilizer on limed soils (Shoop et al, 1961) have essentially limited the recommendation and use of these soil amendments to somewhat modest levels for tall fescue.…”

“…Previous evaluations of tall fescue on highly acid soils have shown responses to lime and P (Shoop et al, 1961; Palazzo and Duell, 1974; Murray and Foy, 1978). Both lime and P responses were evident within 14 d of plant emergence (Shoop et al, 1961), suggesting substantial benefits for seedling development. Differential responses to soil pH between cultivars and among individual plants within a cultivar have been obtained (Murray and Foy, 1978).…”
