Whole-crop wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as forage has been extensively used in the world. In this study, the effects of N application rates on the yields, nutritive value and silage quality were investigated. The N application rates were 0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 kg/ha. The research results indicated that the dry matter yield of whole-crop wheat increased significantly with increasing N rate up ...

regarding increased limitations on fresh water availability in agriculture and the necessity of finding solutions for management of unconventional waters, some scenarios for using saline water were assessed for forage maize. saltmed model, as an integrated approach, can be used for a variety of irrigation systems, soil types, soil stratifications, crops, water management strategies (blending or...

Plant-plant interactions could shift from facilitation to competition or vice versa depending on stress conditions. Many researchers are investigating these among the plant species but knowledge about effect of establishment and growth is limited. Therefore, plant-plant forage yield quality were investigated in pea-cereal mixtures under Central Anatolia conditions during 2018 2019 years. Forage...

in order to determine radiation use efficiency and phenological and physiological characteristics of three maize hybrids on seven plant densities, an experiment was conducted during 2006 growing season in mashhad, iran. three maize hybrids including late-rippening maize (704), medium-rippening (504) and early-rippening maize (260) and seven plant densities including d1=3, d2=5, d3=7, d4=9, d5=1...

management of soil fertility via biological fertilizers inoculation is one of the most important components based on sustainable agriculture. in order to investigate the effects of biological and chemical fertilizers on yield and some morphological traits of forage yield sorghum, a field experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications at a...

to evaluate of drought stress and foliar application of zinc and iron on two annual medics species, experimental field was carried out with split factorial based on randomized complete block design in three replication with treatments of foliar application (controlled, fe, zn and iron+ zinc) and cutoff irrigation from (50% flowering , lower pod maturity,10 days before starting of flowering and ...

ABSTRACT- The increasing population and the pastures inability to meet food needs in livestock have led to the increase of cultivates forage plants. In order to evaluate the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and alfalfa (Medicago sativa) extract on the growth and concentration of macronutrient and micronutrient contents of  forage sorghum (Sorghum vulgare), an experiment was...

Maize grain yield varies highly with water availability as well as with fertilization and relevant agricultural management practices. With a 311-A optimized saturation design, field experiments were conducted between 2006 and 2009 to examine the yield response of spring maize (Zhengdan 958, Zea mays L) to irrigation (I), nitrogen fertilization (total nitrogen, urea-46% nitrogen,) and phosphorus...
