Summary:

Nitrogen in December promotes vegetative tiller growth and ryegrass persistence.
Nitrogen applications are likely to be profitable, even at high prices for N fertiliser, providing
the farm is stocked to eat the extra pasture grown and pasture quality is maintained.
Nitrogen needs to be applied before soil moisture is limiting growth.
