Description
Pastures in Atlantic Canada require periodic rejuvenation to maintain productivity. The effects of method of pasture renovation, soil loosening by paraplowing and nitrogen rates on naturalized pastures were determined. Both direct drilling and cultivation and sowing Lolium perenne L. and Trifolium repens L. in naturalized pastures increased the yields slightly and proportion of white clover. Loosening the soil by paraplowing tended to reduce the yields of naturalized swards. Nitrogen concentration and digestibility of dry matter were greatest in sown pastures.
