Extract

A plot trial compared the herbage yields of Hyparrhenia veld and giant Rhodes grass (Ghloris gayana cultivar) cut at grazing and hay stages of growth at four levels of N fertilizer. Veld outyielded Rhodes grass in all treatments.

The milk yields from Hyparrhenia veld and a giant Rhodes grass pasture were similar when grazed at low and high stocking rates with and without N fertilizer.
