[QUOTE="Dave, post: 336184, member: 498"] There is both a direct line from protein to nitrogen and the stage of growth will effect protein level. Crude protein divided by 6.25 will tell you the amount of nitrogen in the forage. Stage of growth effects the protein level because grass stops taking up N when it begins to elongate. At this point the volume of grass will increase but beings as no more N is being taken up into the plant the total protein stays the same thus dropping the percent of protein as the volume of grass increases.
