Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Higher slurry rates did not consistently increase total yearly timothy yield.
- Intervention effect Lighter slurry rates caused less physical suppression of timothy growth at the first cut.
- Recommendation The authors recommend lighter slurry rates for timothy.
- Intervention effect Spring slurry application provided the greatest nitrogen recovery in timothy.
- Recommendation The authors recommend spring over summer slurry application.
- Recommendation The authors say moderate summer slurry application can allow more disposal without reducing yield if spring use is infeasible.
- Observation Nitrogen recovery from dairy slurry was relatively low.
- Association Potassium concentrations in timothy forage indicate relatively high potassium supply from slurry.
- Mechanism The authors identify potassium recycling as a possible major benefit of surface-applied slurry.
