Abstract

SUMMARY In 1964 spring wheat and kale each were grown with 0·0, 0·5, 1·0 or 1·5 cwt N/acre. In 1965 barley measured residues. Without N and with 0·33 cwt N/acre the barley yielded more after wheat than after kale, but, with 0·66 or 1·0 cwt N/acre, more after kale. The residues of the N given for the wheat and kale increased barley yields. In 1965 spring wheat, kale and Italian ryegrass each were grown with 0·0, 1·0 or 2·0 cwt N/acre. In 1966 and 1967 barley tested 0·0, 0·5 or 1·0 ewt N/acre in all combinations with previous treatments. In 1966 yields were largest after kale and smallest after ryegrass. Differences from the three crops were diminished by the N applied for them, and these N residues consistently increased yields. N given to the barley greatly increased yields, most after ryegrass and least after kale, and equally with or without fertilizer residues, but did not change differences from the crops. In 1967 yields were largest after ryegrass, but no larger after kale than after wheat. The residues of the N given for ryegrass increased yields. N given to the barley increased yields greatly, but most after kale. In 1966 spring wheat, kale and Italian ryegrass each were grown without N and with 1·0 or 2·0 cwt N/acre, but on a more fertile field. In 1967 and 1968 barley tested 0·0, 0·5 or 1·0 cwt N/acre in all combinations with previous treatments. In 1967 yields were largest after kale and smallest after ryegrass. The residues of the N given in 1966 consistently increased yields when the barley was not given N, and after ryegrass when it was; but they decreased yields when N was given after wheat and kale. The barley needed 1·0 cwt N/acre after ryegrass, but less than 0·5 cwt N/acre after wheat or kale. In 1968 barley yielded most when it was not given N and then the largest yields were after ryegrass. The N given for the barley greatly decreased yields and the N residues decreased them further. The amounts of N removed in the barley grain were well correlated with yields.
