“…Similar results were also obtained by Brockwell and Phillips (1970) with lucerne. Nodulation and herbage production of subterranean clover were improved by lime-pelleting, according to Morrison (1966), whilst Wade et al (1972) found that lime-pelleting improved nodulation and seedling growth of arrowleaf clover (Trifolium vesiculosum L.), increasing winter herbage yields by 200%. In greenhouse trials, Thompson and Hsieh (1972) found that lucerne seed pelleted with molybdenum and CaCO 3 had twice the yields of herbage at pH 4-9.…”

SUMMARYStudies of seed pelleting and liming for legume establishment at initial low pH levels in prepared seedbed and natural pasture situations were conducted in 1971 and 1972 at Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Lime-pelleted seed often improved establishment and increased subsequent dry matter herbage yield of soybeans, greenleaf desmodium, and perennial soybeans at low pH levels (4·8 and 4·9) and low lime rates. Applying agricultural lime at rates up to 6 t/ha generally improved legume establishment and herbage yields on prepared land or in disked natural grass sod, compared to unlimed areas.

Two field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of several pelleting materials in increasing the yields of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) and soyabean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) on acid soils in Sierra Leone. The results demonstrated the beneficial effect of molybdenum, applied either alone or in combination with rock phosphate, in improving growth and yield of cowpea. The beneficial effect of molybdenum was comparable (Exp. i) or greater (Exp. 2) than the effect of liming with 3 t/ha basic slag. However, none of the coating materials had any effect on soyabean growth and yield, although molybdenum significantly increased nodules/plant. Calcium carbonate and basic slag pelletings were ineffective in both crops.

The Influence of Lime, Lime Pelleting, and Method of Sowing on the Nodulation and Growth of Subterranean Clover

Abstract: Lime pelleting of subterranean clover improved nodulation and growth during the establishment period. Lime improved nodulation slightly and increased herbage production. Drilling reduced nodulation slightly compared with broadcast sowing, unless the seed was pelleted or sown with lime.
