Abstract/Contents:"The growth of a timothy sward, a timothy/white clover mixture and a multi-grass/white clover mixture were compared and related to climatic factors at two sites of different altitudes. Temperature and radiation had a greater effect on sward growth than did species composition or management. If the reproductive and vegetative growth periods were studied separately, then more than 90% of the variation in yield could be explained by temperature and radiation. During spring reproductive growth, yields per unit increment of temperature or radiation were 2 - 3 times higher than during summer vegetative growth. Spring growth was affected more by temperature than by radiation and the lower yields at higher altitude were also related to lower temperatures."
