Offered Papers Theme A: Efficient Production from Grassland

Description

Sowing grass or clover under a cereal cover crop or after the harvest of the cereal is common practice, but there still are some questions about seed mixtures regarding monocultures or mixtures, especially when the fodder crop has to be productive for more than 2 years. In this experiment seed mixtures with clovers and grasses in a cereal cover situation were compared in terms of DM yield, energy and protein content and proportions of grass, clover and weeds.
