Advantages of Forage Sorghum for Silage in Limited Input Systems
Water shortages are threatening the sustainability of irrigated agriculture in dry environments such as the Southern High Plains (SHP) of the U.S. Corn has been a staple silage crop grown to supply the enormous forage demand associated with dairy and beef feeding industries. The relatively high water use of corn, however, is limiting the extent to which corn can be grown. Although irrigated, co...
متن کاملAssessment of Sorghum Silage for Sheep
From preliminary studies of the feeding value for mediumwool Merino wethers of various samples of sorghum silage, the following points emerge : 1. Mature silage, in addition to being moderately unpalatable, had a low level of digestible protein, a variable digestible crude fibre and a high mineral content. In spite of the latter, most sheep had negative mineral balances. A feature of the ash co...
متن کاملReevaluating On-farm Inputs in Corn and Forage Sorghum Silage Systems
Beef and dairy industries form the base of livestock production in New Mexico. In 2003, Curry, Roosevelt, and Chaves counties accounted for over 48% of all livestock cash receipts in the state (New Mexico Agricultural Statistics, 2003). Milk is the state’s number one cash commodity, producing over $790 million in 2003; and these three counties accounted for over 63% of milk cow numbers and milk...
متن کاملNematode population changes and forage yields of six corn and sorghum cultivars.
Two temperate corn (Zea mays) hybrids (Pioneer 3320 and Northrup King 508), two tropical corn cultivars (Pioneer X304C hybrid and Florida SYN-1 experimental open pollinated cultivar), the sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) x sudangrass (Sorghum sudanense) hybrid DeKalb SX-17, and the sorghum hybrid DeKalb FS25E were compared for effect on nematode densities and forage yield in three plantings (one singl...
متن کاملGrowth and yield responses of two forage sorghum cultivars to different nitrogen fertilizer rates
In order to evaluate the impact of different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on growth and yield of two forage sorghum cultivars, a 2-year field experiment was carried out at the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran during 2010 and 2011 growing seasons. Two factorial experiments were carried out in randomized block design with three replicates, in which the treatments included...
