“…When storing green forage in silos, nutrient losses may be reduced by controlling the microbiological process using di!erent additives: chemical, microbiological, or microbiological and enzymatic (Bolsen, 1993;Haigh, 1998;Pitt, 1997;PodkoH wka et al, 1990;Tarnow, 1964).…”

“…Elevações na ingestão e no ganho de peso têm sido atribuídas também ao uso de inoculante bacteriano (Charmley et al, 1996;Haigh, 1998;Winters et al, 2001) Um fato relatado na literatura, que contribui para a baixa ingestão de forragens tropicais, é seu reduzido teor protéico (Milford & Minson, 1966;Paterson et al, 1994;NRC, 1996). Rações com elevada proporção de fibra e pouco N geralmente respondem bem à suplementação protéica ou com NNP, elevando a ingestão substancialmente, sendo esta resposta maior se o teor de PB da ração estiver abaixo de 6 a 8% (Milford & Minson, 1966).…”

Forage mixture productivity and silage quality from a grass/legume intercrop in a semiarid Mediterranean environment

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In semiarid environments of the Mediterranean region, intercropping is a sustainable agricultural system of long standing. In this area, the pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the most commonly grown legume crops. Little information is available on the quality of silages to be obtained from forage mixtures of pea intercropped with cereals or annual grasses. In this study, two experiments were conducted over the course of two growing seasons in Sicily (Italy) with the aim to determine the biomass production of forage crop mixtures and assess, only in the second experiment, the silage quality of grass and legumes. Four cereals and one annual grass species were grown in pure stand and in mixture with pea, and their main agronomic traits were determined.The land equivalent ratio (LER), competitive ratio, and aggressivity index were also calculated. A number of parameters were considered to assess the quality of silage obtained from fermented biomasses derived from pea-ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam. var. Westerwoldicum) intercropping. In the first experiment, the best performance between the intercrops was recorded for the pea-wheat mixture. The total LER calculated for fodder yields was always greater than 1, indicating crop yield advantages ranging from 2.0% to 47.0%. In the second experiment, the pea-ryegrass mixture appeared to respond well, depending on plant arrangement and seeding ratio factors: the ratios 50:50 and 100:50 showed the greatest crop yield advantages, of 12.0% and 11.0%, respectively. All silages revealed a very good suitability of a pearyegrass intercropping system with high-quality silage production in the Southern Mediterranean region.
