Abstract
Dry matter (DM) and in vitro digestible DM (IVDDM) yields of bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) were greater for schedule with harvest at full heading whereas percentage total N and percentage IVDDM were greater for heads emerging schedule. Applied N increased DM production from 26.2 to 4.3 kg DM/kg N. Total N concentrations of tissue and N yields had linear responses to applied N. There was a considerable reduction in the ground cover by bromegrass that was not influenced by rates of N or harvest schedule.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
