- Intervention effect Increasing nitrogen increased dry fodder yield.
- Intervention effect Increasing N rates increased crude protein content and yield.
- Intervention effect Increasing N rates decreased crude fiber content.
- Intervention effect Calcium content at 90 and 120 kgNha−1 was higher than at 60 kg N ha−1.
- Intervention effect Ash content increased with nitrogen from 60 to 120 kg N ha−1.
- Intervention effect Seed rates up to 80 kg ha increased green fodder yield.
- Intervention effect Dry fodder yield at 60 and 80 kg seed rate was higher than at 40 kg.
- Intervention effect Seed rates did not affect crude protein content.
- Intervention effect Increasing seed rates decreased crude fiber content.
- Intervention effect Seed rate did not affect calcium content.
- Intervention effect Increasing seed rate decreased ash content.
- Intervention effect Zinc application increased green, dry fodder yield.
- Intervention effect Zinc application increased crude protein.
- Intervention effect Zinc application increased calcium.
- Intervention effect Zinc application increased ash content.
- Intervention effect Zinc application lowered crude fiber content and yield.
- Observation Available N in soil decreased after harvest.
- Intervention effect Available zinc in soil was higher after zinc application.
- Observation The combination of 120 kg nitrogen, 80 kg seed rate and zinc gave better yield and quality.
