Description
Galicia is a humid region with mild winters in the atlantic coast of the north west of Spain. White clover and perennial ryegrass perform quite well in the acids soils, after P and lime. application. White clover potential is reduced due to the dry period in July and August. Use of N in spring could compensate this potential despite increasing seasonality. When clover is included in the sward, a low response to N application was expected, as usually happens in small plo1 experiments on an annual basis (Gonzalez, 1982). This experiment attemps to evaluate, in terms of animal production, the response to fertilizer nitrogen applied to a grassclover sward grazed by young heifers.
