Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect A five-week cutting interval produced the most total digestible nutrients.
- Intervention effect Three- and four-week cutting intervals reduced alfalfa vigor, assessed through crown and root weight and next-year production and weediness.
- Intervention effect Cutting at bloom stages produced the greatest dry matter yield during three years of differential treatment.
- Intervention effect Cutting at the 1/10 bloom stage gave the greatest protein yield.
- Intervention effect Previous cutting-stage treatments yielded no significant difference in the fourth season, when cutting stage was uniform.
- Observation Combined annual yield and digestibility estimates gave the largest total digestible nutrient yield at 1/10 bloom.
- Observation Combined annual yield and digestibility estimates gave the largest digestible protein yield at bud stage.
