Abstract
Lolium perenne was raised in Kick-Brauckmann containers in a greenhouse. At 20 cm plant height differently treated (untreated, separated, diluted) liquid cattle manure was applied either as a top dressing or to the soil surface. For comparison additional containers were treated with urea ammonium nitrate (UAN). Visible scorching of leaves occurred when liquid manure and UAN were dressed. The degree of damage increased with the rate of application. Increased scorching normally caused decreased yields. Washing plants three hours after application caused a reduction of damage only from the diluted manure and from UAN.
