The team found that three methods (spray Roundup and direct seeding in the spring, fertilizer application, and broadcast seeding with aerate/spike in the spring) had consistently higher forage yield over control treatments (range: 18 to 90%). Legume composition was as much as 29% for spray Roundup and direct seeding in the spring compared with 2–17% for other methods including the control. The Roundup and direct seeding in the spring resulted in the most profit compared with the control ($380/ha).
