It produces marked influences on the growth of leguminous crops, not only with respect to yield, but also with respect to the relative proportion of the legume to the other herbage. Potash induces the healthy development of the leaf and the stalk, and is especially beneficial to grasses. When applied in large quantities, potash lengthens the growing season of the.
