Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Alfalfa leaves kept NDF constant at 206 g kg −1 dry matter with increasing MSW.
- Association Alfalfa leaves kept IVDDM constant at 783 g kg −1 DM with increasing MSW.
- Association MSW accounted for 97% of the variation in NDF and IVDDM of alfalfa stems and herbage.
- Association Herbage NDF and IVDDM were more closely related to MSW than the concentrations in leaflets, stems or petioles of red clover.
- Association Herbage NDF and IVDDM were more closely related to MSW than the concentrations in leaf blades and stems of bromegrass and timothy.
- Association Phenological models for the other species adequately accounted for variation in some, but not all, plant parts.
