Performance of nitrogen fertilised temperate grasses and temperate grass-clover mixtures in coastal south-east Queensland

Abstract

Dry matter production of nitrogen fertilised temperate grasses, including ryegrasses (Lolium spp.) and oats (Avena strigosa cv. Saia), was compared at two planting rates. Kangaroo Valley ryegrass (L. perenne) was also grown without nitrogen and in mixtures with various clovers (Trifolium spp.). The experiments were conducted at four sites, two raingrown and two irrigated, in coastal south-east Queensland from 1972 to 1975.
