Dry Matter and Nitrogen Production of Legumes and Legume Associations in the Fall of the Seeding Year¹

Abstract

Synopsis Madrid sweetclover excelled in dry matter and nitrogen production in the fall of the seeding year. Southern, nonhardy alfalfas were superior to the hardy strain, Ranger. Higher yields were obtained from medium red clover than from. Ladino white clover, but both were inferior to other legumes. Madrid sweetclover grown alone outyielded the various legume associations. Madrid was the major component of all associations in which it was included. Red clover and Ladino white clover lacked strong competitive ability under these conditions.
