Book Description
There is an interest in finding a way to increase protein values in forage for dairies. Previous studies have reported that when intercropped, corn and soybean can increase the dry matter yield and crude protein yield of silage. In 2016 and 2017 a study with three levels of nitrogen application and six different planting densities at two locations were evaluated to help determine what the best combination is to get the highest yields and protein levels when intercropping corn and soybean. There was a linear trend observed showing an increase of nitrogen will increase yields in both grain and forage. There were mixed results when increasing densities of soybean were planted. At the lowest nitrogen level of 150 pounds per acre there was a positive response to the increasing soybean density while at the higher nitrogen level this was not observed. There was also a positive response observed when evaluating increasing soybean densities and protein levels in the aftermath of a grain crop. This did not hold true when the corn was harvested for silage. Overall there is still research that needs to be done as there appears to be some possible advantages to intercropping soybeans in a corn crop, but results were inconsistent in the two years of this project.

Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences
Author: Wade H. ShaferPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1468449192
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1 957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 28 (thesis year 1 983) a total of 10,661 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 197 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 28 reports theses submitted in-1983, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Increasing Value of Corn Silage in Corn-triticale System by Intercropping with Forage Soybean

Book Description
Intercropping is an old and commonly used agricultural practice of cultivating two or more crops in the same space at the same time. Double cropping is when two crops are planted sequentially in one year. Double cropping corn-triticale rotation for silage is a common practice in the Columbia Basin and in the Treasure Valley of Idaho and Oregon as it increases the amount of feed that can be grown for dairy cows. Double cropping provides protection of the soil from wind and water erosion during the winter months and additional organic matter to the soil via root degradation. Double cropping will also enhance intercropping of corn and soybean as the later planting will increase soybean competition in the intercrop mixture with corn. The most common advantage of intercropping is the greater yield on a given piece of land by making efficient use of the available resources. Moreover, intercropping with legumes improves soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation, increases soil conservation, and provides better lodging resistance for crops susceptible to lodging. Intercropping provides financial stability, especially during extreme weather conditions such as drought, and makes the system particularly suitable for labor-intensive small farms. In addition, intercropping minimizes agriculture's environmental influences and reduces fertilizer and pesticide application requirements. However, there are some disadvantages with intercropping, such as the selection of the appropriate crop species, sowing densities, crop management, and harvest.

Book Description
In order to find essential information for efficiency management of sorghum and corn fields in sole cropping and intercropping patterns should be conduct experiment at the field condition. The quantity performance of intercropping of forage sorghum with soybean and green bean were studied through factorial experiment. The treatment of two rows sorghum + one row green bean had a highest land equivalency ratio (LER= 1.6). This means that the performance of intercropping is 60% more than single cropping. The other experiment also showed; double - row planting arrangement of on one double - row rebased a row maize and another row soybean with 65000 plant per hectare corn and 475000 plant per hectare soy bean is the best choice for forage production. It was conclude that by using double planting pattern with changing arrangement and density the most yield obtained.
