Abstract

A Common Experiment (CE) was set up within the EU-FP7 project ‘Multisward’ across a subset of partner sites to analyse responses of multispecies swards (MSS) to grazing and cutting managements. Across sites and managements there was no detriment to yield in moderately fertilized legume-based MSS compared with perennial ryegrass monocultures receiving high inputs of external nitrogen fertilizer. The response of sward types to grazing depended on sward composition and the identity of the grazing animal species.
