Economic Parameters of Maize Fodder Cultivation

Growth and Production of Maize: Mechanized Cultivation

Maize originated under warm, seasonally dry conditions of Mesoamerica, and was by human selection converted from a low-yielding progenitor species into its modern form, with a large rachis (cob) of the female inflorescence bearing up to 1,000 seeds. Maize is a C4 plant and is very efficient in water use. If subjected to water stress, however, especially during the mid-season pollination process...

Effects of Nitrogen on Growth, Fodder Yield and Silage of Maize and Jumbo Fodder with Cowpea as Inter Cropping

Two field experiments were conducted to know the effect of different doses of nitrogen fertilizer on the growth, botanical parameters and yield of maize and jumbo fodder cultivated with cowpea as inter crop and evaluation of silage. The experimental plots for Jumbo with cowpea and maize with cowpea were applied to nitrogen (N2) levels as urea 0, 100, 150kg ha-1 and 0, 150, 220 kg/ha, respective...

Impact of Cultivation Technology On Yield and Fodder Value of Winter Triticale Grain

In 2008-2010 grain yield and fodder value of winter triticale cv. Kitaro were assessed. The level of plant protection covered three technologies with various production intensity. Grain yield of winter triticale cultivated on the higher agro technical level was 7,56 t/ha and was respectively almost 36% higher than the yield obtained from standard technology. The intensity of plant protection ag...
