Title
Yield and water use of a ryegrass/white clover sward under different nitrogen and irrigation regimes
A.D. Black; H.M. Murdoch Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association 2013. doi:10.33584/jnzg.2013.75.2916
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen swards had higher annual water-use efficiency, 27 versus 19 kg DM/ ha/mm.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen increased sward yield at the same water use.
- Association Nitrogen swards had higher grass herbage nitrogen content.
- Observation The nitrogen response of WUE persisted across moisture regimes and most of each year.
- Intervention effect Irrigated swards yielded more herbage.
- Intervention effect Irrigated swards used more water.
- Recommendation The authors recommend strategic nitrogen application for high WUE.
- Recommendation The authors recommend pure legume swards for high WUE.
- Recommendation The authors recommend encouraging clover growth in mixed swards for high WUE.
