“…According to a study by Kacorzyk and Gł ąb [89], both investigated doses of sheep manure (69 kg N ha −1 , 103 kg N ha −1 ) resulted in a higher proportion of grasses than other plant species such as herbs and legumes. Similar results were found by Knežević et al [96] that some species, especially grasses, tended to grow faster than other species, such as broadleaf weed species or herbs and legumes such as white clover after fertilization. As a result, grasses became the dominant species while the others declined.…”

This review provides an overview of grassland studies on the effects of manure application and herbivore excreta on plant and soil properties in temperate grasslands. Grass biomass from grazing or mowing is mainly used for animal products such as milk or meat, as well as for energy or raw materials for biorefineries. Manure application or grazing has a significant impact on several plant and soil properties. There are effects on soil chemical properties, such as increased carbon sequestration, improved nutrient availability, and increased pH. Additionally, several physical soil properties are improved by manure application or grazing. For example, bulk density is reduced, and porosity and hydraulic conductivity are greatly improved. Some biological parameters, particularly microbial biomass and microbial and enzyme activity, also increase. The use of manure and grazing can, therefore, contribute to improving soil fertility, replacing mineral fertilizers, and closing nutrient cycles. On the other hand, over-application of manure and overgrazing can result in a surplus of nutrients over plant needs and increase losses through emission or leaching. The lost nutrients are not only economically lost from the nutrient cycle of the farm but can also cause environmental damage.

“…Similarly, the decreased ADF content with N application in different cuts of hybrid Napier was also recorded by Sharma et al (2012). In many studies, ADF values did not change significantly under the influence of N fertilization (Kopp et al, 2003, Knežević et al, 2007, Salis and Vargiu, 2008 (Table 4). Studies indicated that the rates of nitrogen inputs were important to maximize the level of nutrients in plants (Odunze et al, 2004, Russo, 2006.…”

Abstract:Field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2013 in randomized block design using three nitrogen doses (50, 75 and 100 kgN/ha) with three replications for Napier Bajra hybrid. Three nitrogen fertilizers, potassium nitrate (KNO 3 ), urea [CO(NH 2 ) 2 ] and ammonium sulphate [(NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 ] were used in divided doses. The crop was harvested four times in different seasons. Growth attributes viz. plant height (72.6cm), number of tillers per plant (20.1) and leaf length (91.2) found highest at 100 kgN/ha doses and maximum values were recorded in monsoon season. Green fodder yield (321.0 q/ha) and dry fodder yield (79.6 q/ha) were recorded highest with KNO 3 fertilization and found maximum in monsoon season. Among all the harvest seasons, crude protein yield (19.1 q/ha) was observed maximum in summer season. Quality attributes viz. ether extract (2.6%), ash content (12.9%) and in vitro dry matter digestibility (62.6%) were observed highest in summer season. Crude fibre, neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre decreased with increased level of nitrogen doses and observed maximum in monsoon season.

“…Az állattenyésztés egyik legfontosabb tényezője a takarmányozás, ami befolyásolja az állatok fejlődését, tömegét és egészségi állapotát, mely kihat az állattartás jövedelmezőségére is. A takarmányköltségek csökkenthetők a takarmány minőségének növelésével (Knežević et al, 2007;Buchgraber et al, 1998;Buchgraber és Gindl, 2004). Mivel az extenzíven tartott kérődzők fő takarmányforrása a gyep, annak termésmennyisége és -minősége gazdaságossági szempontból kiemelten fontos (Voigtländer és Jacob, 1987).…”

From the point of view of the lawns' current existence, use and their existence for the future, but the tasks, goals and challenges of grassland management have changed, and in line with this, we have carried out surveys and developed and modified a method for fast and efficient application. In practice, it is very important to know the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the forage found in the pasture, as well as the exact economic value of the pasture. The purpose of this study is to present a cheap, fast, reliable and easy-to-apply estimation method. We took the previous methods into account and corrected and further developed them with the help of recent lawn management research results. Based on our tests, the corrected Balázs method can be used well to estimate the yield of grasslands and to determine the fodder value of the grassland. This method is cheap and requires no technical background. It also has the advantage, based on experience, that it takes into account the preference of species by animals. The data from the cenological survey and the height measurement of the plant stock can be used to estimate the yield, fodder value and economic value. Being a non-destructive method involving minimal trampling, it is also particularly suitable for monitoring the grassland habitat of protected plants and animals. The method is also presented on a sample example, which proves its applicability.
