The present study was carried out at Sakha Agricultural Research Station (clay soils) middle north of Nile Delta area during summer seasons 2021 and 2022 in randomized complete block design with three replications. objective this research to find the response yield, water saving some functions for teosinte forage crop cut-off surface irrigation owing produce " more per less”. Three levels were ...

The study aimed to observe the effects of two forage sorghum hybrids and different nitrogenous (N) fertilizer rates. current was set up in randomized complete block (RCB) as a split-plot design with triplicate at Field Crops Department experimental area, University Ankara 2022 summer season. This experiment included treatments which had (Hay day Super-graze) nitrogen fertilization rates form 18...

Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export from soils can play a significant role in soil C cycling and in nutrient and pollutant transport. However, information about DOC losses from agricultural soils as influenced by management practices is scarce. We compared the effects of mineral fertilizer (MF) and liquid hog manure (LHM) applications on the concentration and molecular size of DOC released in...

Reuse of saline drainage waters is a management option that has been suggested for the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) of California in order to reduce both the area affected by shallow water tables and the volume of drainage effluent requiring disposal. Salt-tolerant forages may play an important role in this strategy, while at the same time producing a food source for sheep and cattle. Crop selectio...

the aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of different dry matter content and addition of silage inoculant on the ruminal protein degradability. alfalfa herbage was collected from two cuts and the fresh matter was sampled two times during each cut (with different dry matter content). during the preparation of experimental micro-silages, the chopped forage was treated with a microbia...

There continues to be a lot of interest in corn silage harvested with a self-propelled forage harvester (SPFH) equipped with an aftermarket processor with cross-grooved processing rolls set for 2to 3-mm roll gap and greater roll speed differential than has typically been used (32% versus 21%). Also, the developer of this processor recommends that the SPFH be set for a longer theoretical length ...

This paper deals principally with alteration to the physical form of forage diets and the effect on rumen fermentation. When a forage crop is cut and conserved there are possibilities of (a) changing the physical and chemical characteristics of the forage before it is given and (b) of combining the forage with other food components. T o produce a ruminant ration of high nutrient potential both ...

introduction amaranth, genus amaranthus, belongs to the amaranthaceae family and includes more than 60 species (28). amaranth forage, is distinguished by high yield performance of up to 70 t/ha (30). plant maturity was found to affect neutral detergent fiber (ndf), acid detergent fiber (adf), lignin, cp and nitrate content of amaranth forage (27). several studies (21, 27, 29) have shown that the ...
