Determining the Effect of Planting Date and Land Preparation Method on Seedling Emergence, Forage Mass, and Forage Nutritive Value of Forage Brassica

چکیده
Forage brassicas are used as a forage in monoculture and multispecies mixtures, yet research defining best management practices is limited. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of land preparation method planting date on establishment, mass, quality two Brassica species, ‘Inspiration’ canola (Brassica napus L.) ‘T-Raptor’ hybrid turnip (B. rapa subsp. × B. L.). Each experiment was randomized complete block design evaluating four methods: (conventional till (CT), no-till after burning (NB), mowing (NM), without residue removal (NR)), dates: (1 September (S1), 15 (S15), 1 October (O1), (O15)). Significant differences observed for seedling emergence, but not biological significance. Hybrid emergence greatest CT treatment consistently greater than NM NR treatments. mass study NB. demonstrated similar trends canola. had treatments tended provide lowest mass. Across both studies, earlier dates (S1 S15) resulted overall later (O1 O15). nutritive value lower planted brassica; however, reduced enough negatively impact livestock.

متن کاملInfluence of drought stress on nutritive value of perennial forage legumes
In the next decades, forage legumes are likely to become more important. However, predicted climate change may increase the risk of droughts and thus influence their agricultural performance. Decreases in yield due to water shortage are well documented, while influences on nutritive values are inconsistent. Therefore, we examined the effects of drought on crude protein (CP), neutral deterge...
