crop production in arid and semi arid environments has been affected by drought stress. forage production have important role on animal production in this area. in order to determine the effect of irrigation intervals on the yield and morphological characteristics of forage millet, sorghum and corn, an experiment was conducted in a split plot with a randomized complete block design with four re...

Research was initiated at the Texas Experimental Ranch by 1981 to quantify the effects of 2 livestock densities on forage quality in a rotational grazing (RG) treatment. Livestock densities evabmted were equivalent to 14 and 42-paddock RG treatments. Baseline data were collected in 1981 from 3 adjacent 30-ha paddocks in a 465_ha, M-paddock, ceil designed RG treatment stocked at a rate of 3.6 ha...

We assessed national scale changes in the forage plants of bumblebees in Britain, as a means of providing quantitative evidence for the likely principal cause of declines in bumblebee species. We quantified the relative value of native and long-established plant species as forage (nectar and pollen) resources for bumblebees by collating visitation data from 14 field sites across Britain. Twenti...

to evaluate the vegetative and productive characteristics and forage utilization by livestock at different stages of bromus tomentellus boiss.phonology, this experiment was carried out during five years in kordan rangeland of alborz province rangelands. so starting the grazing season and livestock entering, any remaining amount of forage grazing was harvested until a month intervals, and utiliz...

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...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity, relationship between morphological, agronomic and qualitative traits and to identify components of forage yield using some multivariate statistical methods in local sainfoin populations. the experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center...

to evaluate the effects of sowing density, deferred harvesting, and harvest intensity on forage yield and an some vegetative characteristics of annual medic (medicago scutelatta var robinson) an experiment was conducted on the research farm of college of agriculture ,university of tehran ,karaj, during 2005 growing season. the expremental treatments were arranged in split-split plots based on a...
