Key Points
- Growing winter clover crop followed by maize, with no added N fertiliser, may be more profitable than growing maize with N fertiliser.
- Gland clover increased gross margin by over $100/ha compared to the full fertiliser treatment in the first year.
- The yield of maize grown with no additional applied nitrogen fertiliser following a winter clover crop was the same as maize grown with full N fertiliser applied.
- More research is being undertaken in 2015/16 season.
