Abstract

Frequent short irrigation (FS) or moderate treatment was superior in yield, stand persistence, and hay quality in Experiment I. Phytophthora root rot was found in the frequent long (FL) or wet treatment. In Experiment II yield was similar for all treatments, but an invasion of grass resulting from weaker stands reduced the quality of the hay produced in the FL treatment. Disease incidence was low in the normal short (NS) or dry treatment but relatively high in the other two treatments.
