“…In agreement, Radkowski et al. (2020) reported lower humidity and higher temperature increased the protein and fiber concentration of grass, respectively. Moreover, the N concentration of Timothy grass increased as the temperature increased from 8.1 to 16.3 °C, however, reduced as the temperature increased to 20 °C (Thorvaldsson, 2009).…”

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of row spacing (RS) and interplant spacing (IPS) on the yield of total biomass, leaf, and edible twigs, and nutritive value of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.) at three locations in the Rift Valley area of Ethiopia. The authors used a randomized completed block design with three replications in 3 × 3 factorial arrangement: three RS (25, 50, and 75 cm) and three IPS (15, 30, and 45 cm). Row spacing × IPS of 25 × 30 cm and 50 × 15 cm gave greater total biomass yield than the other RS and IPS combinations. A similar result was found for edible plant yield. At Hawassa, the greater leaf crude protein was found for the wider IPS of 45 cm than the narrower IPS of 30 cm (318 vs. 303 g kg–1). At Wondo‐Genet, the greater leaf in vitro digestible organic matter (597 vs. 582 g kg–1) was found for the wider RS of 75 cm than narrower RS. Similar to leaf, a better nutritional value of edible twigs was found for a wider RS and IPS than narrower RS and IPS at Hawassa and Wondo‐Genet. In contrast at Aliyu‐Amba, a better nutritional value of edible twigs was found for narrower RS and IPS than the wider spacing. Thus, it can be concluded that RS × IPS of 25 × 30 cm or 50 × 15 cm are advisable for pigeon pea forage production.

“…As indicated by the results of Kitczak et al [30] on organic soils, Festulolium braunii performs better (maintaining the share in the sward at 52 to 100% after 6 years) on organics soils than Lolium perenne. Festulolium braunii is characterised by high durability in the sward and significantly less sensitivity to unfavourable weather conditions compared to Lolium perenne and about 25-50% inferior to species, such as Festuca arundinacea and Phleum pratense, which the literature reports as persistent and habitat-developing species well on organic soils [16,25]. Kulik and Baryła [31] confirmed the high durability of the Lolium perenne in pasture sward used in the four-species mixture for regeneration.…”

“…A species with outstanding value and lower tolerance to frequent cutting is Phleum pratense, which reduces the risk of yield losses caused by stress factors, e.g., weather conditions [17,19]. Phleum pratense has low soil requirements; however, the shallow root system of this species makes it susceptible to drought [25].…”

Intensive Meadows on Organic Soils of Temperate Climate–Useful Value of Grass Mixtures after the Regeneration

et al. 2023

Meadows on organic soils perform an essential role as a source of fodder and biomass for energy purposes. In the case of intensive meadows, it is crucial to use grass mixtures that enable obtaining high yields of good quality; however, on organic soils, the grass species composition changes dynamically. We carried out the full cultivation (ploughing) for grassland restoration. The floristic composition of meadow sward in the first year of full use (2013) was similar to the composition of mixtures used for sowing (2012) individual plots. Festuca arundinacea and Phleum pratense showed greater resistance to low temperatures in winter and excess water in spring compared to Lolium perenne. In comparison, we obtained the highest yield (fresh and dry mass) from mixtures with Festuca arundinacea and Lolium perenne. We obtained the best quality forage from the first swath and the object with the highest share of Lolium perenne. For grassland restoration in the analysed habitat, it is reasonable to use grass mixtures with varied compositions, in which the share of Lolium perenne is between 25–50%.

“…Its domesticated form is known as timothy and is widely cultivated for grazing and production of hay and silage. It is highly palatable for cattle and horses, having a high nutritive value and digestibility [2,3]. In Scandinavia, timothy is the dominant forage grass due to its winter hardiness, rapid growth and high biomass production.…”

Timothy (Phleum pratense) is a cool-season perennial forage grass widely grown for silage and hay production in northern regions. Climate change scenarios predict an increase in extreme weather events with fluctuating periods of high rainfall, requiring new varieties adapted to waterlogging (WL). Wild accessions could serve as germplasm for breeding, and we evaluated the responses of 11 wild and 8 domesticated accessions of timothy, P. nodosum and P. alpinum from different locations in northern Europe. Young plants at tillering stage were exposed to WL for 21 days in a greenhouse, and responses in growth allocation and root anatomy were studied. All accessions produced adventitious roots and changed allocation of growth between shoot and root as a response to WL, but the magnitude of these responses varied among species and among accessions. P. pratense responded less in these traits in response to WL than the other two species. The ability to form aerenchyma in the root cortex in response to WL was found for all species and also varied among species and among accessions, with the highest induction in P. pratense. Interestingly, some accessions were able to maintain and even increase root growth, producing more leaves and tillers, while others showed a reduction in the root system. Shoot dry weight (SDW) was not significantly affected by WL, but some accessions showed different and significant responses in the rate of production of leaves and tillers. Overall correlations between SDW and aerenchyma and between SDW and adventitious root formation were found. This study identified two wild timothy accessions and one wild P. nodosum accession based on shoot and root system growth, aerenchyma formation and having a root anatomy considered to be favorable for WL tolerance. These accessions are interesting genetic resources and candidates for development of climate-resilient timothy varieties.
