Water-Soluble Carbohydrate (WSC) Concentrations in Ireland and Norway of \u3cem\u3eLolium perenne\u3c/em\u3e Differing in WSC Genotype and Receiving Varying Rates of N Fertiliser
Cultivars bred for elevated water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) concentration may have improved grass ensilability and nutritive value. Increasing rates of application of N fertiliser generally reduce grass WSC concentration, although it is unknown if the response is similar for normal and elevated WSC genotypes or if these factors interact with growing conditions. This experiment evaluated the effects on grass WSC concentration of varying N fertiliser application rates to perennial ryegrass cultivars of high or normal WSC genotype grown in Ireland and Norway
