Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Earliest seeding produced the highest dry matter yield.
- Intervention effect Nitrogen fertilization of 120 kg/ha produced the highest dry matter yield.
- Observation Crude protein yield stayed relatively constant across years, seeding dates and nitrogen rates above 120 kg/ha.
- Intervention effect Delayed seeding increased leaf to stem ratio and crude protein content.
- Observation Nitrate nitrogen in stems, leaves and whole plants was at an acceptable feeding level.
- Intervention effect Seeding date and nitrogen level did not greatly affect cellulose, crude fiber, calcium or phosphorus content.
- Intervention effect Treatments did not markedly affect in vitro dry matter digestibility.
