Abstract
Fertilizing orchargrass with urea to extend the grazing season may be an option for producers if it is present in their fields. The purpose of the replicated study was to determine effects additives had on urea when applied during hot/dry summer months. Treatments consisted of no treatment (control), urea only at a rate of 46 lbs. of nitrogen (N) per acre; urea plus Agrotain®; and urea plus NutriSphere-N®. There was a significant difference in crude protein (CP) content at (P<0.05) between the NutriSphere-N® and Agrotain® treatments. There was no significant difference in drymatter, ADF, and TDN at (P<0.05).
