Nitrogen (N) deficiencies often limit plant growth on forests and grasslands. For example, Freyman and van Ryswyk (1969) found that ammonium nitrate, applied at 100 and 200 kg/ ha on an open-forest site dominated by pinegrass (Calamagrostis rubescens Buckl.) in Interior Douglas-fir (IDF) biogeoclimatic zone near Kamloops, BC, improved palatability, nutritive value, and forage standing crop. Both forage standing crop and quality were further enhanced when sulfur (S) was applied with N.
The following projects were established to demonstrate the biological and economic opportunities
available through fertilizer application on rangeland in the southern interior of BC. |
