I FOR years it has been recognised that the average yields of Canterbury Root Crops have been much lower than they should be. This is the direct result of a deficiency of phosphate in the soil . . . . a deficiency which farmers hesitated to counteract with more than Icwt* of Super per acre when sowing, for fear of damaging the germination of the seed. All root crops are hungry feeders and for their proper development a sufficiency of phosphate is essential. Certainly Icwt. of Super was never enough to grow a crop of good volume and high feeding value to stock. , /:v. ■ CANTERBURY The introduction of REVERTED PHOSPHATE and Anti-Glub-Root Mixtures removed all risk of damage to seed germination. Even extra large quantities of these fertilisers can be drilled in with the seed without risk. ■ - :“V Wherever adequate quantities of REVERTED PHOSPHATE or ANTI-' CLUB-ROOT Mixture are used there have been most gratifying increases in both the volume and the food value of the crops to Analysis shows that the mineral content (phosphate) of crops grown with an adequacy of phosphate is. double and treble that of crops grown on land starving for phosphate. This increased phosphatic content of stock feed is of the greatest value tp stock and definitely promotes the development of both meat and wool. The phosphate requirement of the average Canterbury Plains land calls for a MINIMUM DRESSING of 2 bags to the acre (2*cwt) of REVERTED PHOSPHATE .or ANTI-GLUB-ROOT Mixture.' The foregoing is the MINIMUM requirement, and no doubt in the majority, of casps a larger application will be still more profitable. Of course, on heavier land a much heavier dressing of fertiliser is necessary for maximum results. Cross Drilling of Hoot Crops Chon Moelllcr Where Birown or Mottled Heart disease is prevalent, 3cwt. of Borated Reverted Phosphate should be used. Exceptionally good results have been secured with the. cross drilling of Turnip Crops. The method Is to drill the fertiliser across the rows with the coulters m the ground when the plants are Z to 5 Inches hish. This practice has several definite advantages:— 1. Extra cultivation. 2. Gives impetus to the crop, thus producing a vigorous growth which is more able to with- - stand the attacks of the Diamond-hacked - Moth. ; 3. Increases very materially the yield and quality of the crop. This crop is a gross leader, add we mend a sowing ol 6cwt of Phosphate or Special AnU-Cluh-Eoot Rape Mixture.
