Lactating dairy cow diets with more than 24% starch (DM basis) are common, but recent high corn prices have fueled a desire to feed lower-starch diets. The potential for using digestible neutral detergent fiber or pectin from byproduct feeds or sugars to partially replace starch from corn grain in diets fed to lactating dairy cows was reviewed. Potential modifying effects of corn silage, starch...

Corn (&a mays L.) growth has been shown to be affected by planting date and amount of residue on the soil surface. The objective of this study was to determine if the adverse effects of cool soil temperatures on early seedling growth often associated with surface residues can be overcome by planting at later dates. Corn was planted at several planting dates (late April through early June) into ...

in order to study the effects of nitrogen and drought stress on yield, yield components and seed quality of corn (hybrid single cross 704) a field experiment was conducted at agricultural research station in islamabad gharb in 2009. experiment design was split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications. main plots included full irrigation requirement, 80 percent and...

maize (zea mays l.) is one of the most important crops that used for food, feeding and industrial products and in iran a developing cultivation. in order to study of corn s reactions (hybrid bc666) to supply nutrients to organic nutrition (bacteria and manure) as summer sown in climate conditions of lorestan. an experiment was conduct in meteorology station of lorestan s agriculture research fi...

among crop plants, corn (zea mays l.) need a great amount of nitrogen during its growth period. an increase in the efficiency of nitrogen application not only decrease environmental pollutions, but also it,s economical. this study was conducted to determine the effect of nitrogen fertilization management on the yield and nitrogen efficiency in corn during 2006-2009 at safi-abad dezful agricultu...

water deficit, ultraviolet radiation and carbon dioxide enrichment are the most important environmental factors in global climate change. this research was conducted in tarbiat modares university, research greenhouse and the objective of that was to study the effects of three levels of carbon dioxide (500, 900 and 1300 ppm), uv-radiation (uv-a, b and c with intensity of 18, 25 and 40 µw.cm2 res...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sowing procedures and the seed sowing rate of kudzu (Pueraria phaseoloides cv. ‘Comum’) in corn on corn plant development, forage dry matter production, weed infestation and soybean plant development and yield. The kudzu seeds were either broadcasted over the terrain or sown in furrows (in the main plots) at rates, in both cases, of 400...

in this research, the effects of split application of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and yield component of three varieties of corn have been investigated. for this purpose, a split plot experiment on the base of randomized complete blocks in four replications was used. the main plots were three varieties of corn (370, 447 and 499), and sub plots were six split application of urea fertilizer trea...
