Abstract
A study was made of the effects of gangmowing, grazing, and combinations of the two on the productivity, botanical composition, nitrogen status, and animal consumption of a pasture, and on the earthworm population under the pasture.
Gangmowing increased pasture production, particularly in the summer, by encouraging greater clover growth. The nitrogen contents of both grass and clover were also increased.
Grazing plus gangmowing resulted in greater pasture consumption than from grazing alone.
Numbers and weights of earthworms under the gangmown pastures were much higher than under the pasture only grazed.
