Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Performance of the six companion crops varied with seeding date and environment.
- Intervention effect For mid-May to early June seeding, oat, Japanese millet or sudangrass gave the greatest total seeding-year forage mass.
- Intervention effect For late June seeding, Japanese millet or sudangrass gave the greatest total seeding-year forage mass.
- Intervention effect For late July to early August seeding, oat or Japanese millet gave the greatest total seeding-year forage mass.
- Intervention effect Reduction of alfalfa or timothy mass by companion crops also occurred in some environments in the first post-seeding year.
- Recommendation Companion crop choice for alfalfa-timothy mixtures should consider seeding date and short- versus long-term forage needs.
