The question has long discouraged fanners from fer tilizing grassland in the North ern Great Plains whore rain fall is erratic. Recent ARS research indi cates, however, that nitrogen applied to grassland remains in the soil during a dry year, insuring efficient use of mois ture when rains come. ARS soil scientist J. F. Pow er at Mandan, N. Dakota, found that up to 65 percent of Hornco Beef Possible Cost. th« soluble nitrogen applied to unirrigated teat plots was available to gran the follow ing season.- Power established brome grass on fine, sandy loam, and fertilized with calcium nitrate. Irrigated and unirrigated plots each received the following treatments: 180 pounds of ni trogen per acre in early spring, before plant growth began: 90 pounds per acre in early spring plus 18 weekly applica tions of 5 pounds each during the growing season; and 10 pounds per acre during the summer in each of 18 weekly applications. Soluble nitrogen content in the irrigated soil declined rap idly as the nitrogen was ab sorbed by growing plants.
