GROWTH INHIBITION IN SOME MARLBOROUGH SOILS

Abstract

The problem I am going to discuss, which is seen in its most severe form on the Wither Hills near Blenheim, is predominantly one of securing clover establishment from oversowing, although unthrifty growth following establishment is apparently another facet of the same problem. The trouble does not appear to exist-certainly not in a severe form-when cultivation accompanied by liming and appropriate fertilising is adopted.
