View larger version (22K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. Simulated leaf and stem cell wall (CW) concentration and CW digestibility plotted against measured values for timothy grown under nonlimiting and limiting N conditions in three separate experiments. DM, dry matter.

View larger version (23K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2. Measured and simulated in vitro true dry matter (DM) digestibility (IVTD) of green leaves and stems of timothy grown under nonlimiting N conditions in three separate experiments. The data are from three cultivars in 1991, two cultivars in 1992, and one cultivar in 1993.
