- Association Planting pattern, grass species and season affected mixture botanical composition.
- Association Planting pattern, grass species and season affected mixture yield.
- Intervention effect Alfalfa-grass mixtures were less productive than alfalfa monocultures in summer regrowth.
- Association Reed canarygrass contributed more to spring total yield than orchardgrass.
- Association The two grasses had similar summer yield proportions.
- Association Grass yield in mixtures was unaffected by alfalfa association.
- Recommendation Authors conclude mixtures offer little hay yield advantage over alfalfa monocultures.
