- Intervention effect Early spring clipping decreased forage yield.
- Observation Grasses were affected more by spring clipping than legumes.
- Intervention effect Yield of dry forage increased with nitrogen fertilizer rates from 0 through 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
- Intervention effect Splitting 300 pounds per acre of nitrogen fertilizer into three applications gave no advantage.
- Observation Most effects of spring clipping and nitrogen fertilization were reflected in the first summer harvest.
- Intervention effect Plots fertilized with nitrogen produced a higher yield than check plots.
- Intervention effect Plots fertilized with nitrogen had a higher nitrate content than check plots.
- Intervention effect Legumes had higher nitrate content than grasses on unfertilized plots.
- Intervention effect Legumes had lower nitrate content than in the unfertilized case on fertilized plots.
