Forage Legume Response to Subsoil Compaction

Legume-Cereal Intercropping Improves Forage Yield, Quality and Degradability.

Intercropping legume with cereal is an extensively applied planting pattern in crop cultivation. However, forage potential and the degradability of harvested mixtures from intercropping system remain unclear. To investigate the feasibility of applying an intercropping system as a forage supply source to ruminants, two consecutive experiments (experiments 1 and 2) involving a field cultivation t...

Clitoria ternatea L. as a Potential High Quality Forage Legume

Samples of Clitoria ternatea L. (Cunhã) were harvested at 35, 50, 70, and 90 d after a uniformity harvest in a field study designed as a completely randomized design with a total of 18 experimental plots. The dry matter yield of the whole plant was separated quantitatively into leaves, stems, and pods at each harvesting age. Chemical analyses and in vitro gas production kinetics were performed ...

Secondary Metabolites and Pest Resistance in a Tropical Forage Legume

Determination of Phytoestrogen Content in Fresh-Cut Legume Forage

The aim of the study was to determine phytoestrogen content in fresh-cut legume forage. This issue has been much discussed in recent years in connection with the health and safety of feedstuffs and thus livestock health. The experiments were carried out on two experimental plots at Troubsko and Vatín, Czech Republic during June and July in 2015. Samples were collected of the four forage legume ...

Subsoil Water

In March, last, Drs. Cunningham and Lewis put ia motion experiments to test the value of Professor Pettenkofer's theory of the propagation of cholera, in the neighbourhood of Calcutta, by daily measurements of the level of subsoil water: they a^s0 caused similar experiments to be undertaken in Oudh. The measurements are now ordered by the Government of India to be carried out in every military ...
