Intensive Grassland Management

Massachusetts Agricultural College

Abstract

Conclusions:

1. The results of the third year verify and further substantiate the conclusions reached at the end of the first two years work.
   
2. The beneficial cumulative effect of fertilizer is a factor of outstanding importance.
   
3. Proper management of the herd and plots, combined with fertilizer treatment is necessary for economical milk production and for greatest returns per acre under intensive grassland management.
   
4. Small plots are desirable since the cattle will graze them more evenly and the larger number of plots provides for a longer period of rest per plot.
   
5. Further work is planned to show the proper supplementary ration for cattle on heavily fertilized pasture grass and the grasses best adapted to such an intensive system of grazing.
