Agroforestry and silvopastoral systems

AIMS: To determine the effect of Lactobacillus buchneri, alone or in combination with homofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB), on the fermentation, aerobic stability and ruminal degradability of wheat, sorghum and maize silages. METHODS AND RESULTS: The inoculants were applied at 1.0 x 10(6) CFU g(-1). Silages wit…

Alternate planting combinations of maize (Zea mays L.) with common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) or cowpea (Vigna sinensis L.) were compared with the solitary planting of each crop during 2003 and 2004 under the East Mediterranean conditions in Turkey. The experiment comprised 15 treatments; sole planting of maize (71,…

Sustainable increases in crop production require efficient use of resources, and intercropping can improve water use efficiency and land productivity at reduced inputs. Thus, in a three-year field experiment, the performance of maize/soybean strip intercropping system differing with maize plant density (6 maize plants…

AIMS: To evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus buchneri, heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB), on the fermentation, aerobic stability and ruminal degradability of whole-crop maize silages under laboratory conditions. Two homofermentative LAB were tested for the purpose of comparison. METHODS AND RESULTS: Maize…

Intercropping is an agricultural technique where many crops are grown together on the same field, and it is becoming more widely acknowledged for its ability to improve productivity in food and forage production. This farming method allows for the strategic integration of a profitable crop with cover or non-profitable…

Sustainable management of arid and semiarid forests requires careful planning and implementation. Afforestation by planting and seeding is a fundamental tool for the establishment of new forests on barren landscapes and restoration of degraded forests in arid and semiarid ecosystems. In afforestation efforts, the cons…

Abstract A complete randomized design was used to investigate the effect of increasing pasture species on herbage production, chemical composition and utilization under intensive sheep grazing. Four experimental farmlets were established, namely perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) only, receiving 163 kg N ha−1 year−1…
