e0“We recommend pea/oat and hairy vetch as two green manure species to enhance the overall system performance to achieve high level of DM production, good weed competition, utilization by sheep and provision of N benefit to the following wheat and fall rye crops.”

- Observation Pea/oat mix produced 5036 kg ha −1 above-ground dry matter.
- Observation Hairy vetch produced 5032 kg ha −1 above-ground dry matter.
- Observation Sweetclover produced 4064 kg ha −1 above-ground dry matter.
- Observation Lentil produced 3589 kg ha −1 dry matter, among the lowest.
- Observation The seven-species mixture produced 3551 kg ha −1 dry matter, among the lowest.
- Observation Soybean produced 3174 kg ha −1 dry matter, among the lowest.
- Observation Pea/oat was among the most weed-competitive green manures, with less than 15% weed dry matter.
- Observation Hairy vetch was among the most weed-competitive green manures, with less than 15% weed dry matter.
- Observation Grazing utilization of green manures varied little among species and ranged from 28 to 86%.
- Intervention effect Grazing increased nitrogen availability to wheat.
- Intervention effect Grazing significantly increased wheat dry matter production.
- Intervention effect Grazing significantly affected wheat nitrogen uptake, which averaged 107 versus 98 kg N ha −1 in grazed and ungrazed plots.
- Intervention effect Grazing significantly affected wheat grain nitrogen.
- Intervention effect Grazing had no statistically significant effect on wheat yield.
- Association A greater proportion of legumes in green manure increased nitrogen benefit from grazing.
- Intervention effect Fall rye productivity was unaffected by grazing.
- Recommendation The authors recommend hairy vetch green manure for overall system performance.
