“…This triggered an increase of exchangeable Al in GM and MO soils. This inverse relationship between pH and exchangeable Al in New Zealand soils has been confirmed by several researchers [ 8 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 ]. However, the observed increase in exchangeable Al under PS treatments was not related to soil pH which was unchanged.…”

Legumes play critical dual roles in grazed grassland ecosystems; providing nitrogen inputs and high-quality feed for grazing livestock. However, many species fail to persist in acidic, low fertility soils. A glasshouse study was conducted to investigate the response of lucerne (Medicago sativa) to phosphogypsum (PG), lime and soluble P + S fertilizer (PS) application to two soils. Phosphorus and sulphur were applied through either PG (0, 1, 3 and 9 t ha−1) or P + S fertilizer at equivalent rates to PG. Both PG and PS were applied with or without lime, which was applied at 2 t ha−1. Yield and nutrient uptake of the lucerne was measured, while the soil was analyzed for pH, Olsen P and exchangeable aluminum. Yield responses were significantly different between the two soils. Maximum yields and P and S uptakes were obtained under PG 9 t ha−1 combined with lime. Exchangeable Al decreased in both soils under 1 ha−1 of PG compared with the control. At the highest rate, Olsen P increased by 8 and 6 mg kg−1 for PG and by 6 and 11 mg kg−1 for PS compared with the control for Glenmore and Molesworth soils respectively. Phosphogypsum showed positive effects on P and S bioavailability.

“…Liming significantly increased pasture production when soil pH was less than or equal to 5.5, which is consistent with results from other lime trials reported by Edmeades et al (1984). There was a greater response in pasture production to lime from shady vs sunny aspect and easy vs steep slope (Morton et al 2005). One reason for this effect could be the addition of lime alleviating toxicity of soil aluminium (Al) in the areas with a greater content of white clover, a species that is sensitive to Al (Morton et al 2005).…”

The soils on the eastern region of the North Island (Wairarapa, Tararua, Hawke’s Bay, Poverty Bay, East Coast) are mainly of the Brown, Pallic, Recent (Sedimentary) and Pumice orders and are most are farmed with sheep and cattle on hill pastures. Several field trials have been carried out to determine the pasture growth requirements for phosphorus (P), sulphur (S), potassium (K), nitrogen (N), lime and molybdenum (Mo) in this region since the 1960s and the results published in various papers. This review considers the results of these studies collectively and in relation to national datasets. Sedimentary and Pumice soils with Olsen P levels of less than 12 µg/mL required annual application of P. Significant pasture production responses to S were measured where initial soil sulphate-S levels were less than 6 ppm. Additional K for sheep and beef pastures was required mainly on Pumice and Brown soils with soil QTK levels of 6 or less. Large pasture DM responses to N were measured in most trials, especially on steep slopes and sunny aspects with low legume content. Lime is needed to maintain soil pH once it decreases to 5.4 on hill soils. Molybdenum deficiency in legumes can occur on sedimentary soils and should be monitored by clover-leaf analysis.

Sulphur and lime response of four adventive annual clovers grown in a New Zealand high country soil under glasshouse conditions

Adventive annual clovers play a critical role in nitrogen (N) cycling and feed quality in extensive summer-dry hill country, where traditionally sown white and subterranean clovers often fail to persist. However, very little is known about the edaphic (e.g. soil fertility) requirements of these species. The growth response and nutrient uptake of four adventive annual clovers to applied sulphur (S) or lime, grown in a typical low-fertility South Island high country soil, were investigated under glasshouse conditions and compared with white and subterranean clovers as reference species. The annual species had yield responses of 12Á17% or were unresponsive to S applications. Trifolium repens and T. striatum responded to liming at low lime rates, while all other species had negative yield responses to liming. Maximum yields were generally in the order of T. subterraneum ]T. arvense !T. striatum ]T. dubium!T. glomeratum !T. repens. For lime treatments, yields were strongly driven by phosphorus (P) availability, linked to soil pH. The data indicate that the adventive annual clovers are better adapted to low soil fertility (low pH and S) conditions, which in turn may be an important factor contributing to their success under South Island high country field conditions.
