Northeast China is known as the “Corn Belt” of China. Long-term conventional tillage has
led to severe soil degradation, threatening the food production and China's food security …

Objective Apart from various climatic differences, corn harvest stage and varieties are two
major factors that can influence the yield and quality of corn silage in the tropics. A study was …

Research focusing on the nitrogen (N) application and N use of forage maize (Zea mays L.)
in the boreal region is either limited or non-existent. The aim of this study was to investigate …

This study evaluated the effects of different combinations of added lactic acid bacteria and
cellulase applied at two growth stages on chemical composition and in vitro rumen …

Two maize hybrid cultivars, early (Cisko FAO 300) and late maturing (Arma FAO 700), were
sown on three different dates (March, April or May) and harvested at two stages of maturity …

APSIM Next Generation was used to simulate the phenological development and biomass
production of silage maize for high latitudes (ie,> 55°). Weather and soil data were carefully …

The experiment was aimed at confirming that silages made of two very similar hybrids could
have different in vivo digestibility, primarily amylase-treated neutral detergent fibre …

The objectives of this investigation were to study the effects of marginal site conditions and
hybrid on plant development, agronomic performance and nutritive characteristics of forage …

This study evaluates nutritive, morphological and agronomic characteristics of forage maize
predicted by using a high-quality near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer and an NIR hyperspectral …

Forage maize (Zea mays L.) yield and nutritional quality fluctuate markedly in Northern
Europe due to weather conditions. A field experiment was conducted in Southern Finland …
