|
SPECIAL STUDY
In 1996 a study was conducted at Ames Plantation using Persist and another well-known orchardgrasses. The main objective of the study was to compare the performance of early-weaned fall born calves on the pasture compared to those left to suckle their dams. The grazing period was from approximately April 1 through June 30th and was conducted for four years.
SUMMARY:
Data shows that Persist produced significantly more forage, both with and without clovers. The data also shoed that Persist can be established with clovers and that animal performance is at least equal to that of the commonly grown variety Benchmark.
TRIAL DATA:
