Forage Yield Heterosis in Alfalfa

Crop Science, 2002
Increasing forage yields remains a top priority of most alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) breeding programs, but yield trends suggest yield has stagnated over the past two decades. Little effort has been invested into capturing heterosis in alfalfa, but semihybrid breeding systems are a possible solutions to overcome forage yield stagnation.

Forage yield and quality as affected by salt stress in different ratios of Sorghum bicolor-Bassia indica intercropping

Journal of plant nutrition, 2020
Salinity tolerance is presumed to be improved in the intercropping system, however, there has been inadequate evidence to scientifically prove this. In the current study, the effect of salinity was examined on forage yield and quality of sorghum and ...

Kura clover forage yield, forage quality, and stand dynamics

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1991
Persistent legumes are needed for livestock production in the northern U.S.A. and Canada. We compared forage yield, forage quality and stands of kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.), a rhizomatous perennial legume, with commonly grown forage legumes. Kura clover had lower initial stands and yields than most other legumes, but was ultimately among

Effect of Pythium oligandrum and poly-beta-hydroxy butyric acid application on root growth, forage yield and root diseases of red clover under field conditions

, 2020
Root diseases of red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) contribute to reduced persistence and production of sown red clover stands; however, the potential of biological control of these diseases has not yet been investigated. Our objectives were to determine

Simulating Forage Sorghum Yields with SORKAM

Agronomy Journal, 1997
AbstractA validated crop model can be a valuable tool for evaluating new production and management practices, particularly for crops routinely grown in environments that produce large variation in field performance tests. Previous work has been done to validate SORKAM a crop growth model for grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench].

Yield and Quality of Forage Soybean

Agronomy Journal, 2001
Tall forage soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars in maturity groups V, VI, and VII have been developed to supply forage. Our objective was to determine the effect of harvest date and row spacing on the forage yield and quality of these new soybean cultivars.

INTERACTIONS IN FORAGE YIELD TRIALS

Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1964
A study was conducted to evaluate the effects on forage yield of interactions between a few common management treatments and herbage mixtures. Relative yields of the species and mixtures under comparison varied with the amount of fertilizer applied, stage of growth prior to harvest, stubble height, and seeding method. The response of grass to nitrogen

Genotype‐Environment Interactions of Bermudagrass Forage Yields

Crop Science, 1990
Knowledge of the presence and magnitude of genotype ✕ environment (GE) interactions is important to plant breeders in making decisions regarding the development and evaluation of new cultivars. The forage yields of three cultivars and 21 experimental stains (genotypes) of bermudagrass, Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., were determined for 3 yr (1981–1983 ...

Seeding rate and nitrogen application effects on oat forage yield and nutritive value

Journal of plant nutrition, 2019
Nitrogen (N) is the most limiting nutrient for forage production. This study determined seeding rate effects and optimum N rate for spring oat (Avena sativa L.) forage production in the central Great Plains.
