| Abstract/Contents: | "In mixtures with birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.), tall fescus (Festuca arunidinacea Schreb.) growth during early spring and autumn in north Georgia is limited. A study was conducted to determine if supplemental N fertilizer could extend the productive season of tall fescue-birdsfoot trefoil mixtures. Field experiments were conducted for 3 yr in the Mountain and Piedmont regions of Georgia. Mixtures grown included ′AU Triumph' tall fescue with ′Fergus' or ′AU Dewey' birdsfoot trefoil and tall fescue alone, all with N rates of 0, 56, or 112 kg ha1 in February, or 56 kg ha1 in February and September. The grass-legume mixture at 0 N had total forage yields similar to tall fescue + 112 kg N ha1. Spring production of tall fescue-birdsfoot trefoil mixtures was increased 50 to 114% with 56 kg N ha1. Autumn production was increased 80 to 200% with 56 kg N ha1 in September. The N concentration of non-N-fertilized tall fescue increased 24% when grown with birdsfoot trefoil. Apparent N2, fixation of birdsfoot trefoil grown with tall fescue ranged from 79 to 137 kg N ha1 during a good rainfall year. Birdsfoot trefoil apparently did not fix sufficient N for cool season growth of tall fescue, so that application of N in February and again in September extended the productive season of tall fescue-birdsfoot trefoil mixtures." |
