Description
The effect of ladino clover mixture with some grasses on DM production, botanical composition and seasonal nitrogen fixation activity was examined under field conditions in two consecutive years. Treatment consisted of a clover mixture with four grasses and a reference crop which was grass grown alone. DM production of second year Perennial ryegrass, Tall fescue plus clover mixture was greater than plot growing grasses but almost the same as Timothy and Orchardgrass both with and without clover. Yield in the third year was higher than that of the clover mixture treatment. Ladino clover content was increased from 26% in 1992 to 40% in 1993. Nitrogen fixing activity was increased each year. Generally ARA was low in spring, became highest in summer and again decreased in autumn.
