Abstract
A field experiment was established in 2011 with the aim to evaluate different N application strategies on yield of mixed grass-clover leys. The treatments were 0, 40, 90, 160 or 250 kg N ha-1, applied in single or split applications. The ley crop was harvested three times yearly in 2012 and 2013, and DM yield, botanical composition and digestibility were determined. The response to N application declined from the first to the second harvest year, despite a slight overall decrease in clover content. The economic return of N applications to the last harvest each year was negative for all treatments.
