Notes:
Sowing pasture species with wheat caused a reduction in the growth and yield of the pasture species. This reduction was more severe with wheat drilled at 7 inch row spacing than at 14 in., and was least when the two crops were in alternate 7 in. rows. The reduction appeared to be due principally to the shade cast by the wheat. The pasture also reduced the growth and yield of wheat, but the effect of row spacing and position were opposite to and very much less marked than those of wheat on pasture. The yield of the pasture early in the following season was related to the seed yields in the year of establishment; later in the season, however, differences in yield among the various treatments disappeared.
