Summary

The application of lime to natural pastures in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, did not increase herbage yields, but nitrogen fertilizer, alone and in combination with phosphorus fertilizer, enhanced dry matter productivity significantly. Dry matter yields of the natural pasture were more than doubled at the highest fertilizer rate, though the botanical composition of the sward was only modified slightly by various lime and fertilizer treatments.
