Five Years Results on Monthly Clipping of Pastures

R. H. Lush

Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station, Baton Rouge

ABSTRACT

  1. Pasture yields were higher in April and August than other months when clipped at 30-day intervals for five years.
  2. February grass, calculated on a dry matter basis, contained nearly twice as much crude protein as that cut in September. Calcium, and to some extent phosphorus, decreased from spring to late summer. Dry matter and fiber content increased as the season advanced, while other constituents were quite uniform.
  3. Samples of grass representing the same growth period were quite similar in chemical analyses regardless of species or genera or fertilizer.
  4. Distribution of rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures, and shading are some other factors that influence rate of growth and consequent analysis and yield of pasture vegetation under the condition of this experiment.
