Synopsis Percent N and seasonal yield of N in pure orchardgrass and bromegrass stands were increased significantly by each increment of fertilizer N with 0, 30, 60, 120, and 240 pound‐per‐acre rates. Split applications of 120 pounds of N did not result in significant seasonal N yield increases. Application of fertilizer N to grass‐legume mixtures resulted in increased yields of N and consistently increased the percent N in th grass component in the first harvest.
