Abstract

It is of more than just theoretical interest to enquire about the upper limit to crop production in Ireland, because it is useful in defining objectives to know what the absolute potential in dry-matter production is. It is also useful to consider the factors which cause actual production to fall short of the theoretical, and to enquire about the distribution of dry-matter between the component parts of the total crop biomass...
