Abstract:
... In an attempt to quantify the nitrogen (N) contribution from forage legumes to succeeding potatoes, trials were conducted on 28 Wisconsin alfalfa or red clover fields. Potato total yield and crop value were determined following in-season fertilizer N applications of 0 to 280 kg ha⁻¹. Only 2 of the 12 alfalfa sites and 6 of the 16 red clover sites responded to applied fertilizer N when total yield ...

Abstract:
... Over 177,000 ha of woodlands in Minnesota, USA are grazed. In general, these woodlands are not managed specifically for timber or cattle benefits. This lack of management often leads to decreased timber value and reduced forage yields. Silvopasture is a potential alternative to overcome this lack of land management on Minnesota woodlots. However, very limited information are available about silvop ...

Abstract:
... Bite mass (BM) is the main parameter determining intake, production level and efficiency for grazing ruminants. Various data have been published concerning BM and its components bite diameter, bite area, bite depth and bite volume (BDiam, BA, BD and BV). However, it was not yet possible to have a clear quantitative view of the relationships between BM and its related components. The sward factors ...

There are many variants of this land use in both the temperate and tropical regions of the world practiced at small and large scales. Modern silvopasture; however, is not just a new name for an old practice. It is rooted in sound ecological principles and demands skills ...

Abstract:
... Cattle production based on natural pastures is often subject to flooding periods, which affect plant performance and as a result, forage production. Although most forage legumes are not tolerant to flooding, Lotus spp. are outstanding alternatives, since species, such as L. tenuis (Lt) and L. corniculatus (LcT), have high forage quality and are adaptable to different environments. We recently obta ...

Abstract:
... Boreal soils tend to be podzols characterized by acidic pH, which can further limit forage crop growth and production. It is unclear, how forage soybeans adopt to produce forage with high nutritional quality when cultivated on podzols in boreal climate. To answer this question, we cultivated forage soybeans on agricultural podzols at 3 farm sites with varied soil pH (6.8, 6.0 or 5.1), and assessed ...

Abstract:
... Ryegrass early sowing at the beginning of soybean grain maturation (stage R7) results in an earlier offering of forage for animals in integrated crop-livestock (ICL) systems. In addition, early sowing may decrease N2O emissions compared to ryegrass sowing after soybean harvest, although this possibility requires further study. We performed a two-year study to evaluate the effects of ryegrass early ...
