Effect of Nitrogen on Yield of Forage of Eight Grasses Grown in High Altitude Meadows of Wyoming1

Abstract
Sypnosis: Effects of 0, 80, and 160 pounds nitrogen per acre on forage production and percentage crude protein of eight seeded grass species and varieties in a high altitude meadow near Pinedale, Wyoming were studied.Common, Lincoln and Manchar bromegrass, orchardgrass, timothy, intermediate wheatgrass, meadow foxtail and Reed canarygrass were studied. Variations in species and variety response to nitrogen were noted. However, significant increases in forage production and percentage crude protein were obtained for all eight grasses.
