All spring treatments markedly increased the number of heads, as well as the total head-length per plant, but autumn dressings had no significant effect. Percentage head-length distribution was also greatly influenced by applications of nitrogenous fertilizer in the spring. Each higher rate of application gave a proportionate increase in the number of heads over 9 cm. in length, and a corresponding reduction in the frequency of those of 4 cm. or less. There was a positive correlation between head-length and number of florets per unit length. The results are discussed in terms of their relationship to current practices in managing timothy crops for seed."
