Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Phalaris and ryegrass pastures produced average annual yields of 10.4 and 8.0 t dry matter ha-1 respectively over four years.
- Association Phalaris pasture growth was usually greater in winter, producing about 30 per cent more dry matter than ryegrass pasture.
- Observation Stocking rate rarely had a significant effect on pasture growth.
- Association Pasture growth rate fell as stocking rate increased in the final six months of the experiment.
- Observation Basal cover of phalaris declined to about 20 per cent in the two years after the 1967-68 drought, irrespective of stocking rate.
- Association Ryegrass basal cover declined to a greater extent than phalaris basal cover during the drought period.
- Observation Some recovery of ryegrass occurred in 1969 and 1970 at lower stocking rates, when the ryegrass was able to set seed.
- Observation Basal cover of subterranean clover was about 20 per cent at 19.8 sheep ha-1 in most years and usually less at higher stocking rates.
- Observation Poa annua, Trifolium cernuum, Trifolium glomerata, Arctotheca calendula and Holcus lanatus were the main species that replaced the sown species.
- Observation Crude protein concentration of pasture present was always above 11 per cent except during the 1967-68 drought.
- Association Crude protein concentration fell as low as 5.2 per cent on ryegrass pastures during the 1967-68 drought.
- Association Crude protein concentration on phalaris pastures fell to half the pre-drought level during the 1967-68 drought.
