Abstract

Yields of green fodder, dry matter and nitrogen were adversely affected by an increase in the harvesting interval of Persian clover from 40 to 100 days. The optimum harvesting interval which gave maximum yield of green fodder (86.6 ton/ha) and dry matter (11.2 ton/ha) was 30 days. The maximum yield of total nitrogen (423 kg/ha) was obtained when the harvesting interval was 20 days.
