the aim of this study was to determine the effects of ensiling and using of fertilizers nitrogen and phosphorus on chemical composition and ruminal dm degradability of safflower plant (carthamustinctorius l.). the safflower plant was cultivated at december 2009, and harvested at june 2010 in flowering stage, chopped to 3-5 cm particles and then ensiled in the laboratory silos for 60 days. the e...

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers on nutritive value of safflower forage and silage by in situ and in vitro methods. The safflower forage was harvested at flowering stage, chopped to 3-5 cm particles and then ensiled in the laboratory silos for 60 days. The experimental treatments included: 1. Unfertilized forage (control), 2. Phosphor...

This experiment evaluated forage production, sward structure, stocking rate, weight gain per area and nutritive value of forage as grazed by beef heifers on Alexandergrass (Urochloa plantaginea (Link) Hitch) pasture fertilized with nitrogen (N): 0; 100; 200 or 300 kg of N/ha. The experiment was a completely randomized design following a repeated measurement arrangement. The experimental animals...

The crop nutrition has a well-defined effect on yield and quality of forage crops. Among various essential macro nutrients, the nitrogen has a key function in improving forage yield and crude protein contents but demand of crop for nitrogen varies with the cultivars. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different nitrogen levels (0, 25, 50 kg ha) on forage yield and qual...

To evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer amounts on grain yield of forage corn in 2012, a pilot was implemented in Islamic Azad University Agricultural Research Station, Isfahan, as a split plot in a randomized complete block design. Main plots consisted of four levels: control (no fertilization ) , 50 , 100 and 150 kg per ha nitrogen from urea source and subplots , including several varie...
