Description
Isotopic labelling is helpful in understanding the fate of nutrient fertilizers and determining the chemical and biochemical mechanisms that affect nutrient cycling through the soil/plant/animal system. Use of isotopic P and S in grassland systems is briefly discussed. Plant growth is discussed in response to nutrient levels in soil extracts and plant tissue. Optimizing plant growth will generally ensure high yields of quality forage that will result in good animal performance. (author)
