e0“Applications of 30 to 50 lb N/acre/year have commonly doubled forage production with an N-use efficiency of about 20 lb dry matter/lb N applied, or in grazing situations about 1 lb beef/lb N applied.”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Nitrogen fertilization achieved about 20 lb dry matter/lb N applied nitrogen-use efficiency.
- Observation Grazing situations yielded about 1 lb beef/lb N applied.
- Intervention effect Range fertilization can increase water-use efficiency and improve forage quality and palatability.
- Intervention effect Species composition changes are gradual at nitrogen applications of 50 lb N/acre/year or less.
- Recommendation Fertilizer timing and grazing season and intensity can largely control species composition changes.
- Intervention effect Drastic species composition changes are usually confined to nitrogen applications greater than 150 lb N/acre/year.
