Synopsis On Ephrata fine sandy loam, greater acre yields were obtained from mid‐summer irrigation at 7‐ to 11‐day frequency and 12‐inch clipping height than at longer frequency and less height. Clover percentage was highest under most frequent treatments. Clipping height did not affect botanical composition. Third‐year results showed greatest total yield from 100 lbs. N per acre applied in equal increments in April, June, and August.
