Effects of Cutting Frequency of Orchardgrass and Nitrogen Rate on Yield, Plant Nutrient Composition, and Removal1

Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

Synopsis Nitrogen fertilization greatly increased dry matter and crude protein yields over a 4‐year period. Less frequent harvest improved the efficiency of N in terms of dry matter production but had negligible effect on crude protein. Plant nutrient removal by the forage was directly related to N rate. Separate of N, the K content and removal in forage were much more affected by N fertilization than were those of other nutrients.
