Residual Effectiveness

Both monoammonium and diammonium phosphate fertilizers contain various (Ca,Mg)(NH4)- (Fe,Al)(PO4)(F,OH)H2O compounds that are insoluble in water and comprise 4.9-9.9% of the total phosphorus content of the fertilizers. The compounds have been isolated and characterized by chemical, X-ray powder diffraction, ix., and thermogravimetric techniques. The compounds are only 35-60% as effective as monocalcium phosphate (MCP) in supplying phosphorus to wheat grown under glasshouse conditions. The residual effectiveness of the compounds for a second crop of wheat was generally lower (10-20% relative to freshly applied MCP) than the residual value of MCP (20 %).

Residual Effectiveness

In British Columbia, the following acaricides gave good control of the European red mite, Metatetranychus ulmi (Koch), and the brown mite, Bryobia arborea M. & A., when applied to apple trees at the pink bud stage: chlorfensone (p-chlorophenyl p-chlorobenzene sulphonate), fensone (p-chlorophenyl benzene sulphonate), chlorbenside (p-chlorobenzyl p-chlorophenyl sulphide), Genite 923 (2,4-dichlorophenyl benzene sulphonate), Chlorobenzilate (ethyl 4,4′-dichlorobenzilate), and Kelthane (1,1-bis (chlorophenyl) 2,2,2-trichloroethanol). Trithion [O,O-diethyl S-(p-chlorophenyl-thiomethyl) phosphorodithioate] gave good control of the European red mite; it was not tested in the pre-bloom stage against the brown mite.A summer spray of Kelthane or Trithion gave good initial and residual control of European red mite and brown mite; Diazinon (O,O-diethyl-O-[2-isopropyl-4-methyl-pyrimidyl (6)] thiophosphate) gave fair initial control but lacked residual effectiveness. Chlorobenzilate gave good control of the brown mite, the only species against which it was tested in the summer.Chlorfensone and chlorbenside injured apple foliage when applied at the pink bud stage. Chlorfensone, chlorbenside and fensone injured the fruit of some varieties and Genite 923 severely injured apple foliage when used in summer.

A mathematical description is presented of the effects through time of phosphorus fertilizer application on the growth of Stylosanthes hamata cv. Verano and on changes in extractable soil phosphorus on a red and a yellow earth in the semi-arid tropics. For the five years of observations, the models used provided reasonable descriptions of both aspects. It was not possible, however, to clearly demonstrate which of two functions tested better described the decreasing effectiveness of phosphorus with time. The simpler exponential function provided as good a fit to the yield data as did the function proposed by Barrow, whilst for the extractable phosphorus data the latter did explain a significantly higher proportion of the variance, but its coefficients could not be estimated with great precision. The results show that the phosphorus requirements of such pastures on these soils are modest. Extractable soil phosporus levels of approximately 12 �g g-1 in either 0.005 M H2SO4 or 0.5 M NaHCO3 are indicated as being adequate to ensure near-maximum yields of the legume. Long-term maintenance fertilizer needs as predicted by the models are discussed.
