forage is the main product of rangelands. so, determining its economic value as one of the main important nonmonetary functions can help managers to improve planning and optimal utilization management of rangelands. the main purpose of this study is to estimate the economic valuation of the forage of summer rangelands in nour-roud watershed basin in mazandaran province. consequently, total fora...

kochia scoparia is a salt resistant plant that can be used in producing forage in the areas with salt water and soil resources. one of the problems which produce the forage plants in these areas decreases the function and quality of the forage in irrigation condition with salt water. therefore, using the chemical fertilizers can be considered as a useful solution. this study was conducted to ev...

sainfoin (onobrychis viciifolia scop.) is a perennial forage legume has recognized for its feed value and high stability. this experiment was conducted to investigate the relationship among morphological and agronomic traits using multivariate statistical methods including correlation, regression and factor analysis. twenty one accessions of sainfoin were evaluated in a randomized complete bloc...

Forage is one of the main products of rangeland ecosystems, which is threatened by different anthropogenic disturbances. This study was conducted to assess the impact of urbanization, rural development, agriculture extension, road construction and industry on forage production in an arid and semiarid rangeland using InVEST habitat quality model in spring 2018. In 14 rangeland types, thirty 2×1m...

Regardless the crop production, range and livestock management is unlikely to be possible. Considering the range production is essential for efficient and effective range management. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the rate of forage production and the effects of climate variables. For this purpose, forage yield of four range species including Artemisia sieberi, Scar...

Forage sorghum is considered to be the most heat and drought resistant summer forage with a fairly high green forage yield. Forage sorghum is more economical to grow as compared to forage maize with fairly high economic returns. The total area under forages in 2012 in Punjab was 1.82 million hectares with green forage production of 38.8 million tons. The land area of Punjab under forage sorghum...
