Influence of 2,4‐D, Pronamide, and Simazine on Dry Matter Production and Botanical Composition of an Alfalfa‐grass Sward
            1

THE RESULTS of cutting trials which have been designed to provide information on grazing frequency and intensity in pasture rotations have, in both temperate and tropical regions, often shown that lax and infrequent cutting promotes higher dry matter production than does more intensive and frequent cutting, except on prostrate rhizolmatous and stoloniferous pastures These results have, however, seldom been successfully translated into increased animal production where the negative association frequently observed between dry matter production and both herbage quality and the degree of utilization of the dry matter produced often negates the increased production resulting from lax and infrequent grazing. Added to this are the longer term effects of spelling interval and grazing intensity on sward density and botanical composition, these effects varying through the season as the morphological condition of the pasture species changes.

Line Intercept

This research aimed to investigate the productivity and quality of forages (including dry matter, organic matter, crude fiber, crude protein, and extract ether) in the area of Kali Kuning and Krasak River. This area was affected by Mount Merapi Eruption on 2010. The data were taken from the area around the river due to the area was found to be firstly revegetated after the eruption. The Forage classified as grass, legume and forbs. The method applied in the research was Line Intercept method which was done by seeing the botanical composition there and was performed at several observation points. The forage was taken as the sample and then calculated its production and proximately analyzed to determine its chemical composition. The results showed that around the river, the widest cover area in 2013 and 2014 was Brachiariabrizantha grasses. The largest dry matter production in 2013 was Pennisetumpurpuphoides as much as 165.57 g m–2, while in 2014 the largest production of DM was Brachiariabrizantha as much as 190.37 g m–2. Frobs with another type of weed also spread in this area. The Quality of forages around Krasak River increased in 2014 due to the addition of organic matter contained in the soil and the minerals weathering from year to year.
