- Intervention effect Summer irrigation increased forage yield, tiller density, and tiller weight versus water stress.
- Intervention effect Summer irrigation increased leaf elongation rate.
- Intervention effect Summer irrigation increased leaf water soluble carbohydrate concentration.
- Intervention effect Summer water stress increased stem-base water soluble carbohydrate concentration.
- Intervention effect Previously water-stressed plants had more fall growth than irrigated plants.
- Association Compensatory fall growth was associated with late-summer stem-base WSC and faster leaf elongation and heavier tillers.
- Intervention effect Following drought stress, spring tiller density and forage yield were higher.
- Observation In the higher-rainfall third year, compensatory growth was absent in fall and spring.
- Intervention effect Three-year total yield was 4% larger under irrigation.
- Observation Irrigation chiefly shifted the season of production.
- Recommendation Management and breeding should account for subsequent performance after summer irrigation or drought.
