Optimal nitrogen (N) fertilization for grass-clover leys is important, since the N application affects yields and clover crude protein (CP) contents of forage. Modeling optimal to maximize economic output minimize environmental consequences depends on responses, e.g., proportion, dry matter (DM) CP yield. Thus, such parameters need be quantified in field trials. Based a three-year trial (2017–2...

Abstract Various winter crops can be produced before soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr] in the Southeast United States, however effect of these on productivity and optimum maturity group to use following various remains unknown. This experiment was conducted five environments across North Carolina 2019 2020 understand crop (MG) productivity. Winter investigated included cereal rye ( Secale cereal...

Growing degree days (GDD) is a tool to predict plant growth and can be adapted for use in any species, including cover crops. A limitation of the GDD calculation accurate temperature parameters used development. For most crop cardinal temperatures are not well defined literature, leading less GDD. The objective this study was determine eight Austrian winter pea (Pisum sativum), balansa clover (...

Sheep and cattle farmers need pastoral systems that are more productive and environmentally sustainable. The role that high feeding value herb and legume forage species can play in the farms of the future is highlighted. It is shown that species such as chicory (Cichorium intybus), plantain (Plantago lanceolata), red clover (Trifolium pratense) and white clover (T.repens) can provide live weigh...

The daily BW gain of stocker steers grazing tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S.J. Darbysh. = Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.]-based pastures typically declines during summer. To avoid these declines, in part to mitigate the effects of tall fescue toxicosis, it is commonly advised to move cattle to warm-season forage during this period. A 3-yr (2006, 2007, and 2008) grazing ...

on this site led to the discovery of K deficiency in cotton, which had been referred to earlier as “cotton rust” (Atkinson, 1891, 1892). Today, the experiment is a 3-year rotation of: 1) cotton followed by crimson clover, 2) corn harvested for grain and followed by winter wheat, and 3) soybeans double-cropped after the small grain is harvested. The soil is a Marvyn loamy sand (fine-loamy, silic...
