Description
In our country it is commonly accepted at the level of extension services that growing forage grasses and legumes mixtures can offer to the farmers a good opportunity to achieve high dry matter yield and good quality feed at a lower rate of input than growing pure grass stands. This is supposed to be so due to combination of the chief advantages coming from each component as far as their chemical composition and feeding value, the influence of their root system on soil structure, their mineral nutrition characteristics, ... are concerned. A number of experiments have been done, the results of which tend to streng-then this opinion but as far as we know, precise experiments are not numerous which give a good appraisal of the nitrogen nutrition status of grasses and legumes when grown in pure or mixed stands. So it was decided to develop an experiment through which it could be possible to have such an appraisal, using two grass species -Loi um multiflorum cv. Tiara and Brom us sitchensis cv. Lubro - on one hand and five red clover cultivars on the other.
