The Effect of Differential Cutting on the Yield, Persistence, Protein and Mineral Content of Birdsfoot Trefoil1

R. W. Duell and H. W. Gausman2

Sypnosis: Highest yields of birdsfoot trefoil were obtained when harvested at 1/10 bloom. Yields were lower when cut at 3 inches height as compared with 1 inch. Cutting at 1 inch height and 20 day intervals for 2 seasons reduced plant population.

The percent of protein and minerals declined with maturity but maintained relatively high levels at maturity. Notable exceptions occurred in the decline of P, K, and Ca with maturity.
