Nitrogen Loss in Superphosphate Nitrate Mixtures
Research analyzes nitrogen destruction in mixtures of nitrate with superphosphate under different temperatures. At ordinary temps losses are minimal. at 50 C losses rise, especially with bone meal superphosphate. Free acids and moisture drive degradation. ferrous sulphate shows little effect. Practical note: mix saltwater only in matured superphosphates. store in sacks in heat.

A Cultivator article notes a striking loss of available nitrogen in dry air conditions after a clover crop. Sowing wheat with superphosphate can restore mineral fertility. Two clover crops may be followed by a grain crop. land remains fertile, with added hay value and manure. Clover improves soil porosity and drought resilience. Green manure prefers large pea vine clover. for hay, medium red clover performs best.
