This publication provides:
Planning values for crop nutrient removal by forage crops grown on dairies in Western Oregon. Crop nutrient removal values listed in this publication are typical values. Actual nutrient removal is based on site and management factors. Monitoring of actual forage yields and actual nutrient removal in harvested forage amounts is strongly recommended.
Examples of how increased management intensity can increase the nutrient uptake capacity of perennial grass fields.
Guidance on liquid manure application rates to supply target amounts of nitrogen (N) for forage crops based on manure N analysis.
Recommendations for potassium (K) monitoring in soil and forage to provide suitable forages for dry cows.
