Summary

A relationship between grass N yield and total N supply was derived using data from experiments on grass-white clover swards. This relationship was very similar to that found previously using a larger pool of data from clover-free grass swards. The quantity of N released underground by the clover was estimated to be around 50% of the annual N yield in clover herbage. This is a much lower estimate than that reported by earlier workers.
