Effects of different fertilizers on quantity and quality of silage corn

Effects of different fertilizers on quantity and quality of silage corn

Different fertilizers, ammonia sulfate and urea (MIN), Fertil 12.5 (ORG) and Azoslow (ORG-MIN) were compared in a silage corn crop. Total biomass yield was above 55.0 t ha-1 for all fertilizers. Azoslow showed the highest dry matter content (40.8%). No differences among the fertilizers were found in...

No differences among the fertilizers were found in protein content (4.9% on average) at waxy ripening, with the control showing the lowest value (3.9%). There were also no differences in silage quality among the fertilizers. The N budget was estimated in order to quantify the residual nitrogen amounts at harvest and the efficiency of fertilizers.http://www.aspajournal.it/index.php/ijas/article/view/1245Organic agriculture, N budget, Corn silage yield and quality
