In this study, we compared an innovative stripping technique with a conventional whole plant harvesting for alfalfa and red clover to develop approach regional production of proteins amino acids. While the stems were harvested separately, leaves fractionated by them from using prototype machine, which resulted in higher crude protein (CP) acid yield (CP 26.53% dry matter (DM), g/kg DM, Lys 16.2...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Current agricultural practices are based on growing monocultures or binary mixtures over large areas, with a resultant impoverishing effect on biodiversity at several trophic levels. The effects of increasing the biodiversity of a sward mixture on dry matter yield and unsown species invasion were studied. METHODS A field experiment involving four grassland species [two gra...

1. Tropospheric ozone (O 3 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) are significant drivers of plant growth and chemical composition. We hypothesized that exposure to elevated concentrations of O 3 and CO 2 , singly and in combination, would modify the chemical composition of Trifolium and thus alter its digestibility and nutritive quality for ruminant herbivores. 2. We tested our hypothesis by collecting ...

Field research was conducted in Poland from 2019–2021 to determine the effect of bacteria Azospirillumlipoferum Br17 and Azotobacter chroococcum, as well companion red clover on total protein content yield grain spring barley cultivated a system organic agriculture. Two factors were examined field experiment: I. bacterial formulations: 1—control, 2—nitrogen-fixing (Azospirillumlipoferum Br17, c...

Certain amino acids induce inhibitory effects in plant growth due to feedback inhibition of metabolic pathways. The inhibition patterns depend on plant species and the plant developmental stage. Those amino acids with inhibitory action on specific weeds could be utilized as herbicides, however, their use for weed control has not been put into practice. Orobanche minor is a weed that parasitizes...

Fothergill et al., 1997; Wachendorf et al., 2001a). Research in the northeastern USA, however, indicated that White clover (Trifolium repens L.) persists in pastures mainly by white clover may not follow this pattern in a colder stolon growth. Morphologically complex (i.e., highly branched stolons) plants of white clover generally persist longer. We hypothesized climate. White clover plants in ...
