Synopsis
Irrigated, properly fertilized napiergrass, guineagrass and pangolagrass produced 51,491, 41,714, and 18,907 pounds of dry forage per acre yearly, respectively. Yields of napiergrass and guineagrass increased markedly with nitrogen rates up to 800 pounds of N per acre yearly. Protein content of all the grasses increased with nitrogen fertilization up to the 1,600 pound level at which it approached 12% with all species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
