Plucked samples of Verano, Seca and buffel grass ( both sites) and a native grass ( spear grass at Cardigan and desert blue grass at Hillgrove) were collected over a 4-year period and concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur and in vitro digestibility were measured. There were large seasonal variations in herbage quality of all species with high quality in the early growing season and low quality in dry periods. The stylos had higher nitrogen concentrations and in vitro digestibilities than the grasses, buffel grass had a higher phosphorus concentration than the other species and there were no consistent differences in sulfur concentration between species. Buffel grass generally had higher nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and in vitro digestibility than the native grasses. Management had relatively minor impacts but where differences did occur, herbage quality was higher in plots with live trees than where trees were killed, on plots where superphosphate was applied compared with plots without fertiliser and was greater at high stocking rate. Oversowing native pastures with stylos had no effect on the herbage quality of desert blue grass which had similar quality in oversown pasture and native pasture.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI:000250216500014</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISI Document Delivery No.: 221GXTimes Cited: 0Cited Reference Count: 43Cited References: *AOAC, 1975, OFF METH AN ASH AJ, 1992, ANIMAL PRODUCTION AU, V19, P331 ASH AJ, 1998, J AGR SCI 2, V131, P211 COATES DB, 1997, TROP GRASSLANDS, V31, P494 CRACK BJ, 1971, AUSTR J EXPT AGR ANI, V11, P336 DIXON RM, 2005, RECENT ADV ANIMAL NU, V15, P65 EVANS TR, 1982, NUGTR LIMITS ANIMAL, P343 FITZPATRICK EA, 1970, AUSTR GRASSLANDS, P3 GARDENER CJ, 1980, AUST J AGR RES, V31, P379 GARDENER CJ, 1982, AUSTR J EXPT AGR ANI, V22, P391 GILLARD P, 1984, BIOL AGRONOMY STYLOS, P405 GREACEN EL, 1983, SOILS AUSTR VIEWPOIN, P499 HUNTER RA, 1979, AUSTR J EXP AGR ANIM, V19, P517, DOI 10.1071/EA9790517 ISBELL RF, 1996, AUSTR SOIL CLASSIFIC JACKSON J, 1998, AGROFOREST SYST, V40, P159 JONES EG, 1997, THALAMUS ORG FUNCTIO, V1, P31 JONES RJ, 1967, AUSTR J EXPT AGR ANI, V7, P57 JONES RM, 1980, AUSTR J EXPT AGR ANI, V20, P703 KATHJU S, 1979, EXP AGR, V15, P103 KEIG G, 1974, CSIRO AUSTR DIVISION, V74 LITTLE DA, 1984, BIOL AGRONOMY STYLOS, P381 MANNETJE L, 1990, TROPICAL GRASSLANDS, V24, P269 MCCOWN RL, 1989, AUST J AGR RES, V40, P573 MCIVOR JG, 1979, TROPICAL GRASSLANDS, V13, P92 MCIVOR JG, 1981, AUSTR J EXPT AGR ANI, V21, P600 MCIVOR JG, 1982, CSIRO AUSTR TROPICAL, V29 MCIVOR JG, 1985, AUST J EXP AGR ANIM, V25, P61 MCIVOR JG, 1988, TROPICAL GRASSLANDS, V22, P132 MCIVOR JG, 1990, AUSTR J EXPT AGR, V30, P523 MCIVOR JG, 1991, CSIRO AUSTR TROPICAL, V68 MCIVOR JG, 1991, CSIRO AUSTR TROPICAL, V70 MCIVOR JG, 1995, AUST J EXP AGR, V35, P705 MCLEOD MN, 1978, ANIMAL FEED SCI TECH, V3, P277 MINSON DJ, 1990, FORAGE RUMINANT NUTR MOIR RJ, 1975, SULPHUR AUSTR AGR, P109 NORTHCOTE KH, 1979, FACTUAL KEY RECOGNIT PAYNE RW, 1988, GENSTAT 5 REFERENCE PLAYNE MJ, 1972, AUSTR J EXP AGR ANIM, V12, P373, DOI 10.1071/EA9720373 REES MC, 1974, J AGR SCI, V82, P419 TMANNETJE L, 1977, CSIRO AUSTR DIV TROP, P28 TMANNETJE L, 1992, PLANT RESOURCES SE A, V4, P77 WALKER B, 1990, TROP GRASSLANDS, V24, P257 WILSON JR, 1978, AUSTR J AGR RES, V29, P503Mclvor, John G.Csiro publishingCollingwood</style></notes></record></records></xml>
