The Forage Biomass Productions in the Continuous Cultivation System of the Agricultural Land. I. Forage Structures Based on the Aristate Ryegrass Culture
Keywords:
aristate ryegrass, continuous land cultivation, forage productions, forage systemAbstract
For achieving some culture structures that would ensure, through rotation, a continuous coverage of the agricultural land, 6 types of such structures have been studied, based on aristate ryegrass. Each forage structure, that covers the land for a consecutive period of two years, has been cultivated in two variants: one non fertilized with nitrogen (N0) and the other fertilized (N+) according to the specific dose to each culture.
Based on results obtained it has been demonstrated that: in natural experimental conditions, the forage system of continuous cultivation of the land ensures a growth of 2-3 times higher in the forage production as compared to the conventional system based on one culture sown in an agricultural land.
