Preliminary trials on the effect of management on the establishment of perennial grasses and legumes at Davis, California
1944
Love, R.M.
Different grazing treatments in the spring following seeding of perennial grasses and legumes led to the following results: 1. Early, intensive grazing, before the annuals headed reduced the competition provided by them and resulted in the best stand of vigorous perennials. The removal of the animals before all available moisture was exhausted enabled the perennials to continue their development to maturity. A short period of grazing in the fall did not damage the young perennial plants. 2. Late grazing, beginning at the time the annuals were maturing, reduced the stands of perennial grasses by approximately 80% and perennial legumes by approximately 50%. Prolonged grazing into the dry season probably hindered further the development of the seeded species, which besides being reduced in numbers were much reduced in vigor. 3. Late mowing, followed by prolonged grazing, resulted in the poorest stand of the perennials.
