A note on comparative performance of summer forages in relation to varying nitrogen and irrigation levels
Year: 1974
Type: article
Abstract: In the field trial in 1970 (a) maize, (b) Pennisetum typhoides [= P. americanum] and (c) Euchlaena mexicana were given 0, 60 or 120 kg N/ha and irrigated when open-pan evaporation had accumulated to 125, 175 or 225 mm. Yields of total digestible nutrients were (a) 4.75, (b) 7.0 and (c) 3.4 t/ha; of DM (a) 6.93, (b) 10.98 and (c) 6.7 t/ha; and of CP (a) 0.43, (b) 1.10 and (c) 0.35 t/ha. Average yields of total digestible nutrients were 3.96 t/ha without applied N, 5.16 t with 60 kg N/ha and 5.99 t with 120 kg applied N. The different levels of irrigation did not significantly affect yields
