General Composition of Herbage

Prediction of silage composition and organic matter digestibility from herbage composition and pepsin-cellulase solubility

A dataset of grasses and respective silages was collected by systematically varying the harvesting time in primary growth (n = 27) and in regrowth (n = 25). The swards were mixtures of timothy and meadow fescue. The grasses were ensiled unwilted with formic acid. Fixed or mixed regression procedure of SAS was used to investigate the relationships between composition of grasses and respective si...

Composition of herbage in Pinus roxburghii Sargent stands: basal area and importance value index

In the present study basal area and Importance Value Index (IVI) attributes of herbage were investigated in chir pine (Pinus roxburghii Sargent) stands of three different ages and also in open grassland in the sub-tropical region of Himachal Pradesh (India) during growing season (June to September). A higher basal area of the herbage was recorded in open grassland as compared to chir pine stand...

Herbage Response to Sagebrush Spraying

Information that is presently available makes chemical control of sagebrush (Artemisia’ tridentata) a practical operation. Yet additional information is needed regarding ecological responses to assure that the practice of spraying for sagebrush control will be used wisely. The economy of brush control must be determined by the amount of forage and meat products gained; however, the principal ob...
