Summary

Evaluations of non-nitrogen nutrient budgets in pasture systems are limited, and there needs to be greater knowledge of these budgets. Although most nutrient budget studies from grasslands have focused solely or primarily on N, maintenance of a proper nutrient balance is important to healthy plant growth and reduction of potential water quality problems. Budgets of non-nitrogen nutrients were studied in a rotational pasture system during two treatment periods, which received different levels of nitrogen (N) fertility. Rotationally grazed grass pastures in Ohio (USA) received 56 kg N ha−1 as NH4NO3 for a 5-year period and then 168 kg N ha−1 for a 10-year period. A topsoil pH of 6.0 and available P and K levels of 28 and 168 kg/ha, respectively, [...]
