Claim · model-written summary
Ryegrass yield and nitrogen removal did not decrease with sward age under cutting.
Verbatim
e1“Under the cutting regime grass-clover showed a significant reduction in both yield and N-removal with increasing sward age, whereas for ryegrass these figures did not show any decreasing trend.”

Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Nitrate leaching was lower from grazed unfertilized grass-clover than fertilized ryegrass.
- Association Grassland age had no significant effect on grass-clover nitrate leaching.
- Association Nitrate leaching increased dramatically with sward age in grazed ryegrass.
- Observation In years 6–8 grass-clover leaching was 9–13% of comparable ryegrass losses.
- Association Under cutting, grass-clover yield decreased significantly as swards aged.
- Association Under cutting, grass-clover nitrogen removal decreased significantly as swards aged.
- Association Nitrogen fixation was lower in eight-year-old than two-year-old grass-clover swards.
