    Notes: Abstract. Nitrogen (N) is of enviromental concern if it leaches or is released as nitrous oxide (N2O,). In order to utilize N efficiently in grazed pasture systems, the fluxes of N from various sources need to be quantified. One flux is N mineralization from organic sources. Previous work has examined incubation and chemical extraction of soils as methods to determine N mineralization potential. This paper re-examines new and previously published data on net mineralization, with the aim of examining the relationships between soil thermal units, net N mineralization (measured using acetylene incubations) and dry matter production in pastures. Net N mineralization is expressed as N turnover (net N mineralization as a % of total soil N). Relationships are developed between soil thermal units, dry matter production, and N turnover. These relationships have potential in advising farmers on potential N mineralization from soil organic matter. A second use of such relationships is the modelling of N transformations in pasture systems. Further work should explore the effect of soil moisture on such relationships and examine the relationship between soil thermal units and uptake of N by pasture.

    Notes: The effect of annually switching sward management between cutting regimes that simulated rotational grazing and those for forage conservation vs. maintaining a constant management regime was studied by testing for ranking-order changes between six perennial ryegrass varieties.Total dry-matter (DM) yields were found to change in response to an annual switch in management. When under a conservation management and switched in the next year to simulated grazing, all six varieties yielded more in that year than when they were maintained constantly under simulated grazing. Similarly, when under a simulated grazing management and switched in the next year to conservation, all six varieties yielded less than when maintained constantly under a conservation management. These yield differences were largely expressed in spring of the year following the management switch.Differences in the ranking order of varieties were observed between the constant sward management treatments and the alternating managements. However, in these changes in variety ranking, no variety was consistently favoured or disadvartaged by the annual switch in management. Therefore, no clear evidence was produced that an alternating management system had any consistent effect on variety ranking and the observed changes were possibly due to the normal year-to-year variation frequently recorded in variety performance trials.

    Notes: When grazed sward surface height was controlled within the range 3·75-5·25 cm during spring and summer, the effects of two annual stocking rates of twenty (SR20) and twelve (SR12) Cheviot ewes per hectare with their lambs and two rates of nitrogen fertilizer, 100(N100) and 200(N200)kg Nha−1 per year on animal performance and yield of silage from areas of pasture surplus to grazing requirements were measured. Decision rules for management of sward height resulted in good control of swards and consistent and satisfactory individual animal performance across treatments. Total output of lamb was greater for SR20 than for SR12 (699 vs 424kg live weight ha−1; P 〈 0·001). Yield of silage was less for SR20 than for SR12 [27 vs 184 kg dry matter (DM) per ewe; P 〈 0·001] and less for N100 than for N200 (65 VS 146 kg DM per ewe; P 〈 0·01). Around the mating period, when sward height fell below 3·5cm, supplementary feed was offered. More concentrates were offered to the SR20 than to the SR12 ewes (12·3 vs 1·2kg DM per ewe; P 〈 0·001) and to the N100 than to the N200 ewes (8·3 vs 5·2kg DM per ewe; P 〈 0·01); trends in the amounts of hay offered during that period were similar.

    Notes: The dry-matter productivity of the forage legume Lotus corniculatus (bird's-foot trefoil) was assessed under low-input conditions at three sites in the north of England. An initial study in 1989 and 1990 compared fourteen accessions of L corniculatus with Trifolium repens and T. pratense grown as spaced plants at two sites with contrasting soil conditions. One site represented good agricultural land, the other poor-quality, marginal land. Yields of all species and accessions were significantly lower on the marginal site. Seasonal yields (averaged over sites) of L corniculatus cultivars averaged 52 g plant−1 and 170 g plant−1 in 1989 and 1990 respectively. General trends over both seasons were that T. repens and T. pratense yields were high but some L. corniculatus cultivars (Empire, Franco, Leo) and naturalized UK ‘aliens’ were similar to at least one Trifolium in each year. Yields from L. corniculatus ecotypes from the UK and Norway were very low in comparison with the cultivars. A largerscale study of eighteen L corniculatus, two L uliginosus, three T. repens and two T. pratense accessions was undertaken on an upland, calcareous site in 1990. Legumes were assessed in 2 m × 2 m swards as either monoculture or grass/legume mixture. Establishment and productivity of L uliginosus and T. pratense accessions were poor, with seasonal yields no greater that 50gm−2 year−1. When grown as a monoculture, L corniculatus yields were superior to both Trifolium spp., and averaged 1080 gm−2. In mixed swards, L. corniculatus constituted a higher proportion of the total dry matter yield (26% and 62% at first and second cuts, respectively) than the other legume species. It is concluded from these studies that L corniculatus is suited to marginal or free-draining calcareous soils under low-input conditions, and consequently has more potential for use in the UK than has previously been reported.

    Notes: Substantial annual fluctuations in the performance of arable silage mixtures, comprising Minerva forage pea and Goldmarker barley, were observed from ten annual sowings between 1977 and 1986, Total dry matter (DM) yield varied between 2·5 and 11·5 t ha−1. Dry matter content also ranged widely from 10·3% to 20·0% and there was a large variation in the proportion of peas in the DM (0·44 to 0·90). Almost 80% of this yield variation was due to the fluctuation in pea performance and over 60% of all yield variation was related to the variation in sunshine hours and air temperature.In 1983 and 1984 differences in seed rate of between 20 and 140 kg ha−1 of Minerva and 80 and 160 kg ha−1 of Goldmarker influenced the forage composition at harvest, with the pea component capable of outgrowing and suppressing the other species when sown at over 80 kg ha−1. Very high yields of peas were associated with increasing stress on the undersown grass re-seed and were considered undesirable.It was concluded that sowing rates of between 120 and 160 kg ha−1 for barley and a maximum of 60 kg ha−1 for peas would, in most years, provide the best compromise between attaining good arable silage yields and avoiding excessive dangers of damage of undersown grass re-seeds.
