Table 2: Average dry matter content (DM) values for three combinations (triticale alone, hairy vetch alone and triticale-hairy vetch mixture) receiving 5 levels of nitrogen intake (0, 10, 20, 30 and 50 u N ha- 1). Different letters indicate significant difference among the levels of nitrogen treatment at P˂0.05.
