Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium concentrations were determined in plant tops harvested every four weeks from nine tropical grasses fertilized with nitrogen on ten occasions at eight week intervals. Nitrogen was applied at three rates-25, 50 and 100 kg/ha (N25, N50, N100)-on each occasion. Grasses were rain-grown without grazing at a site near Gympie with an average annual rainfall of 1160 mm. Overall, nitrogen concentration in the tops increased and potassium concentration decreased with increasing nitrogen application. Phosphorus concentrations were constant at N25 and N50, but were lower at N 100. Mean nitrogen concentration was highest at 2.4% in Pennisetum clandestinum cv. Whittet, and lowest at 1 .9% in Chloris gayana cvv. Callide and Katambora, with intermediate concentrations occurring in Digitaria decumbens, Setaria sphacelata var. sericea cv. Narok, Panicum maximum cvv. Gatton and Makueni, Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk and Paspalurn plicatulum cv. Bryan. Phosphorus concentration was highest in Whittet at 0.38% and lowest in Bryan at 0.25%. Potassium concentration was highest in Whittet at 2.53% and Narok at 2.29% and lowest in Katambora at 1 .48%. The implications of these concentrations and calculated nutrient uptakes are discussed in relation to animal and plant nutrition.

AbstractThe experimental plots used in the study were located in the middle forest zone (elevation: 900-950 m a.s.l.) on two nappes of the flysch Carpathians in southern Poland. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of serpentinite in combination with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers on selected chemical properties of the soil and activity of dehydrogenase and urease in the studied soils. All fertilizer treatments significantly enriched the tested soils in magnesium. The use of serpentinite as a fertilizer reduced the molar ratio of exchangeable calcium to magnesium, which facilitated the uptake of magnesium by tree roots due to competition between calcium and magnesium. After one year of fertilization on the Wisła experimental plot, the pH of the Ofh horizon increased, while the pH of the mineral horizons significantly decreased. Enrichment of serpentinite with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers stimulated the dehydrogenase activity in the studied organic horizon. The lack of a negative effect of the serpentinite fertilizer on enzyme activity in the spruce stand soil showed that the concentrations of the heavy metals added to the soil were not high enough to be toxic and indicated the feasibility of using this fertilizer in forestry.

AbstractThe response of native plants to allelopathic interference of invasive species may differ from species to species. In this study, the phytotoxic effects of Ageratina adenophora were tested on two native shrubs (Osbeckia stellata and Elsholtzia blanda) of Nepal. Both the shrubs were grown in pots under treatments of A. adenophora fresh leaves and root leachates, and litter. Then, the seedling length and biomass were compared among the treatments. The results show that A. adenophora litter has stimulatory effects but the leachates from fresh leaves and root are phytotoxic to the growth and development of native shrubs. Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) analysis confirmed the presence of O–H (Hydroxyl), N–H (Amines), C≡C (Alkynes), and C–H stretching (Aromatic) or C–O–C stretching (Ethers) in the leachates representing harmful allelochemicals. The invaded soil by A. adenophora had low pH and a high amount of organic matter, total nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium than the uninvaded soil. The results indicate that the native O. stellata and E. blanda are harmed by A. adenophora in nature by leaching of allelochemicals and probably by reducing the soil pH. Overall, this study has provided valuable insights regarding the effects of A. adenophora invasion on native shrubs and revealing the potential mechanism of its invasiveness.
