Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Continuous grazing produced the greatest white clover flower-head density.
- Intervention effect Continuous grazing produced the greatest ryegrass seed yield.
- Observation Harvested clover seed yield ranged from 20% to 75% of potential yield.
- Intervention effect Harvested ryegrass seed weight was highest under continuous grazing.
- Intervention effect Harvested ryegrass seed weight was lowest under cutting treatments.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilizer increased pasture herbage dry matter.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilizer increased ryegrass seed production.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilizer greatly reduced clover seed yield.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that correctly timed mechanical defoliation can yield as much seed as continuous grazing.
