Abstract
1. An examination was made of four chemical components of herbage—nitrogen, crude fibre, acid-soluble ash and acid-insoluble fraction—from different genetic populations of Lolium perenne, grown in two trials at various related densities, some plots being irrigated. Dates of the frequent harvests were determined by the growth stage of the herbage.Keywords
