The inclusion of warm season forages into pasture can be beneficial as it can extend the grazing season without sacrificing pastures. From the data available it is fair to say while warm season forages didn\u2019t greatly increase Ca, Mg, P and K levels, it did however remain within the same level as cool season forages. This maybe be due to the fact temperature was becoming milder and rainfall was increasing, warm season crops didn\u2019t improve mineral content as one may have expected. Fluctuations in minerals were statistical significant difference mixture and mixture*month which could be due to environmental conditions, season, maturity or forage specie. The pastures tested had almost adequate levels of minerals for grazing ruminants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/david-farrell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2019\/08\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-267\" width=\"313\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/david-farrell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2019\/08\/image-2.png 866w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/david-farrell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2019\/08\/image-2-300x234.png 300w, https:\/\/www.plantagbiosciences.org\/people\/david-farrell\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2019\/08\/image-2-768x599.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 313px) 100vw, 313px\" \/><figcaption>The above scatter plot indicates the relationship between temperature and potassium.
