- Intervention effect Increasing fertilizer N to 100 kg N ha-1 lowered clover percentage.
- Intervention effect At five weeks, clover content did not differ between 100 and 150 kg N ha-1.
- Observation The effect of application season on clover content varied across years.
- Intervention effect Clover content partially recovered in the second regrowth cycle but remained below the zero-N combinations.
- Intervention effect Spring N applications reduced clover dry matter yield, apart from 50 kg N ha-1 in early spring 2000.
- Intervention effect At 50 kg N ha-1 in 2000 and 2002, clover content stayed at or above 30%.
- Intervention effect At 150 kg N ha-1, many treatment combinations produced clover percentages below 30%.
