The biological value of fodder is estimated on the basis of its content of particular macroelements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg). Concentration of these components in fodder depends on many factors, mainly on the properties of soil, type of land use and growth phase of crops. The aim of this paper was to estimate the effect of soil properties, land use and species composition of a sward mixture on the con...

abstract turf grass as a main grown cover plant has a unique place in green space planning. in order to study the effect of hydrogel and paclobutrazol on water requirement of turfgrasse (lolium perenne l. barbal) a factorial experiment based on a brcd with 3 replication was conducted in the summer of 2010 in mashhad. the factors under study were 4 levels of hydrogel (0, 3, 6, 9 gr/kg soil), 3 l...

Global meat and milk production depends to a large extent on grazed pastures, with Lolium perenne being the major forage grass in temperate regions. Defoliation and subsequent regrowth of leaf blades is a major and essential event with respect to L. perenne growth and productivity. Following defoliation, carbohydrates (mainly fructans and sucrose) have to be mobilized from heterotrophic tissues...
