- Observation Hybrid forage quality responded similarly across planting densities.
- Observation Maximum dry matter yield occurred at 97 300 to 102 200 plants per hectare.
- Intervention effect In vitro digestibility fell by 16 to 23 g per kg as density increased.
- Intervention effect Crude protein fell by 6 to 8 g per kg as density increased.
- Intervention effect Neutral detergent fiber rose by 20 to 35 g per kg as density increased.
- Intervention effect Acid detergent fiber rose by 19 to 29 g per kg as density increased.
- Intervention effect Milk per Mg of forage fell by 98 to 143 kg as density increased.
- Intervention effect Milk yield per hectare rose by 926 to 2176 kg up to 75 000 to 85 000 plants per hectare.
