Forage and grain yields of wheat and barley

Wheat Grain and Forage Yields are Affected by Planting and Harvest Dates in the Central Great Plains

cultivars, net return is maximized when grazing is terminated at first hollow stem—the stage at which hollow Although grazing of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a stem can first be identified above the crown (Redmon common practice in the southern Great Plains, little is known about the efficacy of wheat as a dual-purpose crop in the Nebraska Panhanet al., 1996). However, beyond an optim...

Effects of Foliage Removal and Using Different Nitrogen Rates on Remobilization of Pre-anthesis Assimilates to the Grain in a Dual-purpose (Forage and Grain) Barley

In order to study the source limitation and contribution of pre-anthesis assimilates to grain in dual-purpose (forage and grain) barley, a field experiment was carried out in Iran, Ahvaz region. The experimental design was split plot in randomized complete block with three replications. Application rates of nitrogen at four levels (60, 120, 180 and 220 kg.ha-1 N) were as main plots, while sub p...

Airtight storage of moist wheat grain improves bioethanol yields

BACKGROUND Drying is currently the most frequently used conservation method for cereal grain, which in temperate climates consumes a major part of process energy. Airtight storage of moist feed grain using the biocontrol yeast Pichia anomala as biopreservation agent can substantially reduce the process energy for grain storage. In this study we tested the potential of moist stored grain for bio...

Fibrolytic enzyme treatment of barley grain and source of forage in high-grain diets fed to growing cattle.

We conducted a study to determine the effects of treating barley grain with a fibrolytic enzyme mixture on chewing activities, ruminal fermentation, and total tract digestibility in cattle. We also investigated the potential benefits of using barley straw rather than barley silage as a roughage source in high-grain diets for feedlot cattle. Steers were given ad libitum access to one of four die...
