The responses in canning yield and tree growth obtained from clingstone peaches (CV. Golden Queen) to fertilizers applied in factorial combinations were measured for 19 years at Tatura, Victoria. During the first eight years, the treatments involved ammonium sulphate, superphosphate, and potassium sulphate. Then a fourth factor, lime, was added, and included in the study for four years. For the final period of seven years, the experimental design was modified, in that all trees were limed, potassium sulphate was deleted, and applications of ammonium sulphate were re-arranged. The fertilizer combination that gave the greatest tree response was an application of 3 lb ammonium sulphate plus 4 lb superphosphate to each tree (at bud swell), and then in mid-summer an extra 3 lb ammonium sulphate. The main effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and lime were to increase both yield and growth, while the main effect of potassium was to depress them (usually it was not large enough to be proved significant). The main effect of splitting the total application of ammonium sulphate was to increase yield through larger fruit size, but there was no effect on growth. The responses were independent and additive. Ammonium sulphate strongly acidified the soil, and this caused manganese toxicity, which was alleviated by liming.

The binary eutectics Li2SO4•H2O–ice and (NH4)2SO4–ice as well as the ternary eutectics Li2SO4•H2O–Li2SO4•(NH4)2SO4–ice and (NH4)2SO4–Li2SO4•(NH4)2SO4–ice have been determined as to temperature and composition. The complete solubility isotherms at 0.1°, 71.8°, and 95.2 °C. have been investigated. The enthalpies of solution of lithium sulphate monohydrate, of ammonium sulphate, and of double salt have been determined (in water at room temperature), and from these data, as well as from the solubility isotherms, it has been shown that the temperature of the transition of the double salt, Li2SO4•(NH4)2SO4, to its component single salts (in the presence of water) is approached by lowering the temperature, but this transition temperature is still far from reached when the system freezes completely.

The Rothamsted Park Grass and Woburn Barley soils are almost all acid. Ammonium sulphate has caused a considerable increase in acidity, and sodium nitrate a slight decrease. Mineral manures have but little effect, and potassium sulphate has slightly increased trie acidity of the subsoil below the more acid plots. There is some evidence that the pH value 3·8 represents a maximum acidity in the Rothamsted soil. The change in pH value as a result of liming is less than that shown in the laboratory, owing in part to the subsoil acidity.
