A field experiment was carried out at Breeder seed Production Centre (BSPC), Debiganj, Panchagarh during the Rabi season of 2016-2017 to study the effect of five levels of sulphur application on yield and quality attributes of three potato varieties. The main objective of the experiment was to determine the effect of sulphur on the yield and quality of potato varieties. There were five treatments comprising different levels of sulphur such as T1 (control-no sulphur), T2 (75% RDS), T3 (100% RDS), T4 (125% RDS) and T5 (150% RDS). Three BARI released potato variety; BARI Alu 36 (4.26 R), BARI Alu 40 (4.45W) and BARI Alu 25 (Asterix) were used in this experiment. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The tuber yield and yield contributing characters were significantly influenced by the application of sulphur. Maximum tuber yield (39.28 t/ha) was recorded in BARI Alu 40 (4.45 w). Highest dry matter content, specific gravity and starch content were found in BARI Alu 40 (4.45 w), which was followed by BARI Alu 36 (4.26 R) in case of specific gravity and starch content. Sulphur application in potato varieties showed significant influence on tuber yield of potato. This parameter increased with increasing dose of sulphur up to 100% RDS. Thereafter, further increase in sulphur did not showed any remarkable influence. Besides, sulphur application in potato varieties showed significant influence on tuber quality of potato. The maximum dry matter yield and starch yield were recorded in the treatment T3, which was followed by all other  treatments except T1. The minimum dry matter yield and starch yield were recorded in the treatment T1. Combined effect showed insignificant influences between varieties and sulphur levels. BARI Alu 40 (4.45 w) was found superior over other varieties in terms of yield and quality attributes. Treatment T3 (100% RDS) was found superior over other treatments in terms of yield.

<p>A field experiment was conducted under irrigated conditions in the highlands of Madagascar to assess the potential of intercropping Italian ryegrass with common vetch for improving yield and quality of forage. Seed proportions studied were ryegrass-vetch 100:0; 0:100; 50:33; 50:50; 50:66; 75:33 and 75:66. Mixtures were sown in alternate rows and the sowing rates of pure stands of ryegrass and vetch were 20 and 60 kg per hectare, respectively. The results showed that all mixtures achieved yield advantage over pure stands with the highest land equivalent ratio value for dry matter yield obtained from the mixture of 75:66 (1.47) followed by 50:50 (1.35). Slight increase of crude protein content and protein digested in the small intestine when rumen-fermentable nitrogen is limiting (PDIN) content were obtained from mixtures compared with pure stand of ryegrass. Vetch rate in dry matter yield of mixtures increased with the increase of vetch seed proportion and ranged from 31 to 44%. Agressivity and competitive ratio indices showed that ryegrass was slightly competitive than vetch. Intercropping Italian ryegrass with common vetch at the seed proportions of 75:66 or 50:50 could be a more sustainable alternative cropping to alleviate dry season feed shortages of dairy livestock in the highlands of Madagascar.</p>

SUMMARYThe results are presented from a factorial experiment on the effects of genotype (Julia, Inra 200 and Caldera 535), density (4·9, 11·0 and 16·7 plants/m2) and row width (70 and 35 cm) on the quantity and quality of maize produced 136 days after emergence.The later maturing the variety, the higher was the dry matter yield, but the lower was the dry matter percentage. There was little advantage in favour of the high density when compared with the medium density, while row width did not markedly affect the production character measured. Both density and variety significantly influenced the ripe ear. The dried grain/ear for the low, medium and high densities was 111, 89 and 74 g respectively. However, at the highest density nitrogen content, dry matter digestibility and digestible organic matter in the dry matter were all slightly reduced. With the exception of magnesium, the mineral contents showed similar trends.

Tropical Forage

The study was designed to evaluate the dry matter yield and quality of two temperate (T. Pratense and T. repens) and two tropical forage legumes (S. guianensis and C.molle) harvested at early-flowering stage for hay in a cool tropical environment of Vom, Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. The legumes were planted in the month of June, 2015 and 2016 in a 4 x 4 Latin Square Design with four replicates in plots measuring 5 m x 3 m. The forages were harvested at early-flowering stage for yield components, dry matter yield and nutrient quality evaluation. The result showed that C. molle was significantly (P<0.01) higher in height in the two seasons compared to the other legumes. Number of leaves per plant was higher (P<0.01) significantly in S. guianensis (125.00) in 2015 whereas, T. repens had higher (P<0.01) value (187.25) in 2016 cropping season.  Stylosanthes guianensis produced significantly (P<0.01) higher dry matter with 10.42 t ha-1 in 2015, while the dry matter yield obtained from C. molle (2.90 t ha-1) was the highest in 2016. Trifolium pratense and T. repens were scored excellent grade, while Stylosanthes guianensis and Centrosema molle were scored good in quality. Crude protein content was significantly (P<0.01) higher in T. repens (18.38%) compared to T. pratense (16.50 %), whereas S. guianensis produced the least value of 13.83%. The crude fibre content of the of the forage materials on the other hand was significantly higher (P<0.0I) in S. guianensis (37.29 %) compared to the other forage legumes. The temperate forage legumes in this trial were higher in nutrient content, but lower in dry matter yield. Therefore, the forage crops may serve as better supplementary feeds for livestock feeding especially during the dry season.

Yield And Quality

Field experiments were conducted at four locations in central Alberta to determine the effect of N applications on dry matter yield and quality of bromegrass (Bromus inermis L.) hay. Ammonium nitrate was broadcast in early spring for 5 yr at rates of 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 300 kg N ha−1. In addition, fertilizer N was applied at 200 and 400 kg ha−1 only in the initial year to determine residual effects. Total dry matter yield (TDY) increased with increasing fertilizer N rates maximizing at 150 to 200, 100 to 150, 50 to 100 and 100 to 150 kg N ha−1 at Lacombe, Joffre, Botha, and Rocky Mountain House, respectively. Protein concentration and protein yield in bromegrass hay also increased with increasing N applications. Over the 4-yr period, TDY with initial N applications were generally lower than with the same total amount of N applied with annual rates. The residual effect of initial rates of N lasted only 2–3 yr following fertilizer application. With the exception of the Botha location, levels of NO3-N potentially toxic to livestock (>0.226%) were produced only in the first year. Potentially toxic NO3-N levels did not generally occur at those rates required to maximize TDY.Key words: Ammonium nitrate fertilizer, Bromus inermis, dry matter yield, nitrate-N concentration, protein concentration, protein yield
