A demonstration was conducted to examine the stored forage yield and stored forage quality of two different hay forage management systems. The forage management systems were a hay harvest only system or a complimentary hayround bale silage harvest system. The hay system harvested bermudagrass forage as hay during the summer when weather conditions allowed, the complimentary system harvested ber...

A field experiment to compare forage yield and quality of eight sorghum cultivars/genotypes namely JS-263, JS88, Hegari, F-9601, F-9603, F9706, F-9806 and F-9809 was conducted at the Agronomic Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during the year 2008. Significant differences were observed among the genotypes for forage yield and quality. The variety F-9603 produced significantly...

kochia scoparia is a salt resistant plant that can be used in producing forage in the areas with salt water and soil resources. one of the problems which produce the forage plants in these areas decreases the function and quality of the forage in irrigation condition with salt water. therefore, using the chemical fertilizers can be considered as a useful solution. this study was conducted to ev...

APBN1, a variety of hybrid napier was analysed at five stages of harvest (30, 40, 45, 50 and 60 days) for yield, leaf to stem ratio, chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility, in sacco dry matter and protein degradation to find out optimum stage of harvesting. The yield of green fodder, dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) (MT/ ha/year) of forage harvested at 30, 40, 45, 50 and ...

Many field experiments require the collection of forage yields in addition to grain yield (small grains). ln smal! plot research, mechanized grain harvest is common. However, forage harvest is often accomplished by hand which is time consuming and labor intensive. Sample heterogeneity increases when forage harvest is obtained by hand. The objectives of this study were to construct a mechanized ...

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 four replications in isfahan university of technology research farm. res...

The effects of two different harvest stages (full flowering and full podding) on forage yield and quality of ten forage rape (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) and three turnip (Brassica rapa L. var. rapa) cultivars were evaluated under rainfed conditions in a Mediterranean type climate at Bursa, Turkey, during the 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 growing seasons. Plant height, branches per plant, leaf l...
