Synopsis Timothy produced more dry matter than bromegrass and orchardgrass when grown in pure stands without nitrogen fertilizer and in association with trefoil‐red clover. Orchardgrass was the most productive of the nitrogen‐fertilized pure grass stands cut at the pasture stage. Bromegrass yielded slightly more than timothy and orchardgrass in the alfalfa‐ladino association and in nitrogen‐fertilized stands managed as hay. Crude protein production was usually in the following order: bromegrass, timothy, and orchardgrass.
