Synopsis The experiments conducted suggest that 200 pounds of nitrogen is about the optimum as a split application when pasturing or greenchopping irrigated Piper sudangrass. Greater amounts do not appreciably increase yields but do account for relatively high rates of accumulated nitrate (NO 3 ‐ ) in the harvested forage.
