Abstract
Late fall applications of nitrogenous fertilizers to California foothill ranges have consistently hastened the growth of native forage plants both in fall and spring, resulting in a winter forage production which may be advanced as much as two months. Also, the herbage produced by fertilized plants is not subject to frost damage to the same extent as that produced by unfertilized plants.
