and use appropriate amounts
of fertilizer and thereby pro-

the growth of desirable plants
Many levels of fertility are so
low that adding one fertilizer
element alone will produce no

ments or more are necessary
for substantial increases in
yield.

maintenance can be made. This
means that supplementary pas-
