Item A review of the use of chicory plantain red clover and white clover in a sward mix for increased sheep and beef production(NZ Grassland Association, 2015) Cranston LM; Kenyon PR; Morris ST; Kemp PDMany farmers are sowing mixed swards containing chicory (Cichorium intybus), plantain (Plantago lanceolata), red clover (Trifolium pratense) and white clover (T. repens) (hereafter termed herb and clover mix). This herb and clover mix has comparable annual dry matter (DM) production to perennial ryegrass white clover pasture (rye/wc), however, it has a different pattern of growth, producing more DM during summer and autumn. The herb and clover mix also has a higher nutritive value and is able to support greater rates of animal production, especially over summer, than rye/ wc in both sheep and cattle. The herb and clover mix is most suited to a rotational grazing interval of 3–4 weeks to an 8 cm residual height, with no winter grazing. When managed appropriately the herb and clover mix is able to persist for at least 2 years and up to 5 years under both sheep and cattle grazing.Item NITROGEN LOSSES FROM PLANTAIN: WHAT CAN WE SAY?Rodriguez MJ; Kemp PD; Navarrete Quijada S; Hanly JA; Horne DJ; Bishop PItem PLANTAIN SWARD: IS IT EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING N2O EMISSIONS IN SPRING AND AUTUMN?(11/02/2020) Rodrigues MJ; Kemp PD; Bishop P; Hanly JA; Navarrete Quijada S; Horne DJItem Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) nitrogen use and excretion by lactating dairy cowsNavarrete Quijada S; Kemp PD; Rodriguez MJ; Horne DJ; Hanly JA; Hedley MJItem The potential of plantain based pastures to reduced nitrogen losses from dairy systemsNavarrete Quijada S; Rodriguez MJ; Kemp PD; Hedley MJ; Horne DJ; Hanly JA; Currie, LD; Christensen, CL
