To investigate the dry matter (DM) productivity and nutritive value (NV) of a range of pasture species sown independently or in conjunction with Fathom barley at Hart in winter and summer.
Key messages
Pasture species were out competed when sown with Fathom barley.
Even when pasture species were sown as monocultures weed competition reduced biomass production in winter and summer.
Fathom barley produced the most dry matter and the vetches and peas performed comparatively well.
