Alfalfa yield components and soil potassium depletion as affected by potassium fertilization.
(American Society of Agronomy, 2012-05-01)Potassium fertilization recommendations for alfalfa (Medicago sativaL.) vary depending on the area of production, soil levels, and crop management. The objectives of this study were to determine the impact of K fertilization ... -
Effect of type roughage and level of barley supplementation on digestibility, rumen fermentation and microbial-N yield
(Centre international de hautes études agronomiques méditerranéennes, 2011)Four cannulated ewes were used in a factorial (2 x 3) design to study the effect of two sources of roughage (alfalfa hay vs ammonium-treated straw, UTS) and three levels of ground barley grain supplementation (F:C ratio: ... -
Influence of stocking rate on forage quality and diversity in Pyrenean subalpine grasslands: Can they recover if abandoned?
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2015-03-01)Can subalpine grasslands recover their pristine conditions if they are abandoned? Since the mid-20th Century, the process of abandonment in European subalpine grasslands due to the decrease in the stocking rate has triggered ... -
Insights into the role of major bioactive dietary nutrients in lamb meat quality: a review
(BMC, 2022-02-07)Feed supplementation with α-linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA) increases their content in muscle, ALA increases n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and decrease n-6/n-3 ratio in muscle, and LA increases rumenic acid. ... -
The Agrodiversity Experiment: three years of data from a multisite study in intensively managed grasslands
(2014-06-11)Intensively managed grasslands are globally prominent ecosystems. Weinvestigated whether experimental increases in plant diversity in intensively managedgrassland communities can increase their resource use efficiency.This ... -
The effect of row spacing on alfalfa seed and forage production under irrigated mediterranean agricultural conditions
(John Wiley & Sons, 2015-12)We evaluated the effect of row spacing on seed and forage yields in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) using combined seed and forage production plots, in an irrigated Mediterranean agricultural environment. We compared three ...
