The studies were conducted on the experimental field of the All-Russian Research Institute of Phytopathology in 2016-2019 in two field experiments on sod-podzolic heavy loamy soils. The aim of the study was to identify the most promising perennial herbs for the organization of a green line in order to make more rational use of labor and technical resources. As the study showed that meadow alfalfa is superior in the first year, but from 2 years old, yellow-hybrid alfalfa comes out on top; timothy and especially fescue and wheatgrass reduced the yield. 2. On average, over 3 years, the highest yield of dry matter of feed units and metabolic energy in the harvest was provided by yellow hybrid alfalfa - 61 c/ha, 45 c/ha 58 gJ/ha and timothy grass, respectively 6 with an undoubted superiority of alfalfa in the yield of digestible protein - 8 against 2.96 c/ha of timothy grass. The disadvantage of alfalfa is the difficulty of seed production due to the long flowering period and cross-pollination, the seeds are formed in the lower part of the stem, and flowering continues.
The studies were conducted on the experimental field of the All-Russian Research Institute of Phytopathology in 2016-2018 in two field experiments on sod-podzolic heavy loamy soils. The aim of the research was to select among the widest range of forage crops the most productive ones with high nutritional value and low cost for organizing green and raw materials conveyors in order to make more rational use of labor and technical resources. Among the annual crops and mixtures, the most productive for three years on average were sunflower, Sudan grass, white lupine and oats: the crop of fodder units was respectively: - 49.9; 50.9; 49.9 and 47.9 centners per hectare; mixtures with peas, they are inferior to single-species crops due to pea damage by powdery mildew and pea weevil, and white sunflower with lupine ensured an equal collection of feed units — 49.9 centners per hectare and the highest provision of digestible protein —127 g in 1 fodder unit. Of the perennial grasses yellow-hybrid alfalfa and timothy grass, which it is expedient to grow in mixed sowing to increase the productive longevity of herbs and reduce the cost of feed, proved to be the most promising.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
