Effects of Harvesting an Oat Companion Crop at Four Stages of Maturity on the Yield of Oats, on Light Near the Soil Surface, on Soil Moisture, and on the Establishment of Alfalfa
1960
Klebesadel, L. J. | Smith, Dale
SynopsisOats produced highest dry matter yields at near early dough stage, but protein yields were highest at near early dough or from harvests made whenever oats reached 12 to 16 inches. Less soil moisture and light were available to the alfalfa seeding but weeds were less numerous before and after removal of the oats at maturity than when harvested earlier. Slightly thinner alfalfa stands resulted from oats harvested at maturity, but alfalfa forage yields were comparable to other treatments.
