Extract

1. A series of experiments designed to compare the effects on the succeeding wheat crop of five different methods of treating the aftermath of a Broad Red Clover ley is described and the results discussed.

2. There was little consistent difference in the effects of using the second crop for hay, for grazing or for green manure by ploughing it in. Bastard fallowing immediately after the first hay crop and taking the second crop for seed both showed large seasonal fluctuations in their effects, but there was insufficient evidence to show if these were due to seed-bed differences.

3. In no season was taking the second crop for hay outyielded by any other treatment.
