Plant-plant interactions could shift from facilitation to competition or vice versa depending on stress conditions. Many researchers are investigating these among the plant species but knowledge about effect of establishment and growth is limited. Therefore, plant-plant forage yield quality were investigated in pea-cereal mixtures under Central Anatolia conditions during 2018 2019 years. Forage...

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the productive and structural characteristics Paiaguas palisadegrass established in monoculture intercropped with agricultural crops 2018 2019. evaluated treatments were: (PP) monoculture, PP maize, sorghum, soybean. experimental design used a randomized block, 4 replications (plots 160 m²). Sward height, tiller density, dry mass production, ...

introduction multiple cropping such as intercropping plays an important role in agriculture because of maximizing beneficial interactions. intercropping of legumes and cereals is an old practice in tropical agriculture that dates back to ancient civilization. maize-legume intercrops could substantially increase forage quantity and quality and decrease requirement for protein supplements (ahmad ...

Utilization of maize stover to the production meat and milk saving grains for human consumption would be one strategy optimal usage resources. Variance tendency analyses were applied find nitrogen (N) fertilization dose (0, 100, 145, 190, 240, 290 kg/ha) forage (F), (S), cob (C), grain (G) yields, as well grain-to-forage, cob-to-forage, cob-to-stover ratios (G:F, C:F, C:S, respectively). The st...

Short description: In Bavaria, feeding cattle with maize silage is a common method, which is practiced even in for maize unfavorable locations. With increasing feed costs a partial substitution of maize by grass silage could be economically reasonable. Especially against the background of bioenergy production from cereals and maize, a competitive situation can evolve and grass as feedstuff can ...
