Abstract:
The experiment was conducted in the years 2014-2016 with the aim to evaluate the influence of a biostimulant based on seaweed and amino acids on the content of neutral and acid detergent fiber, lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose in three cultivars of soybean. In the vegetative season, 0.7% and 1.0% solutions of the biostimulant were used in single and double spraying. Based on the determined fiber fraction contents it was evaluated whether treating soybean with the biostimulant may enhance the quality of forages obtained from it. It was found that the level of fiber fractions and contents of hemicellulose and cellulose were influenced by biostimulant application. Differences in the content of fiber fractions resulted from the number of biostimulant doses and its concentration. Mavka cultivar treated with Fylloton was characterized by the highest mean content of fiber fraction. Evaluation of the forage quality indexes demonstrated that biostimulant use caused their reduction, and the highest values were found for Annushka cultivar.Keywords:

Core Ideas Reduced lignin and reference cultivars did not differ in forage accumulation. Forage accumulation was greater with a fall harvest or a 40‐d cutting schedule. Reduced lignin alfalfa averaged 8% less acid detergent lignin and 10% greater neutral detergent fiber digestibility. Cutting treatments with shorter harvest intervals increased forage nutritive value. Delaying reduced lignin alfalfa harvest increased forage mass and maintained quality. Reduced lignin alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) cultivars have the potential to increase the feeding value of alfalfa for livestock by improving forage fiber digestibility and to increase harvest management flexibility. The objectives were to compare the forage accumulation and nutritive value of reduced lignin and reference alfalfa cultivars when subject to diverse cutting treatments in the establishment and first production year. Research was established in 2015 at four locations in Minnesota. Reference alfalfa cultivars 54R02, DKA43–22RR, WL 355.RR, and the reduced lignin cultivar 54HVX41 were subject to cutting treatments with variable intervals between harvests. Cultivar by cutting treatment interactions were not significant ( P > 0.05), but cultivar and cutting treatment effects were significant. Cultivars did not consistently differ in forage accumulation. Establishment year forage accumulation was greater when a fall harvest was taken, and first production year forage accumulation was generally greatest when alfalfa was harvested on a 40‐d cutting schedule. Compared to reference alfalfa cultivars, 54HVX41 had an average of 8% less acid detergent lignin (ADL) and 10% greater neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFD) but was similar in crude protein (CP) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) concentrations. Cutting treatments with shorter harvest intervals increased forage CP and NDFD and decreased NDF and ADL concentrations. With a 5‐d harvest delay, 54HVX41 harvested on a 35‐d harvest interval had a 21% gain in forage mass and a 3% reduction in relative forage quality (RFQ) compared to reference cultivars harvested on a 30‐d harvest interval, which could allow for increased management flexibility.

A reliable index for quantifying maturity and predicting herbage quality of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) grown in diverse environments would be useful. An index developed at Cornell University was used to compare the in situ rate and extent of digestibility of neutral‐detergent fiber (NDF), cellulose, and hemicellulose of spring‐ and summer‐grown alfalfa stems at similar morphological stages. Stems were harvested every 10 d during spring growth and summer regrowth of 1984 and 1985. Maturity at each harvest was classified on a scale of 0 to 9, and a mean stage number was calculated. Ground (2 mm) stems were ruminally incubated in dacron bags for 0 and 48 h in 1984 and 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h in 1985. Residues were extracted sequentially with neutral and acid detergent to determine residual NDF, cellulose, and hemicellulose. Rate of digestion (1985 data only) was calculated via nonlinear regression. After 48 h in the rumen, NDF, cellulose, and hemicellulose of spring‐grown stems were digested to a greater extent than summer‐grown stems of comparable chronological age. Digestibility of NDF [ R 2 = 0.78, root error mean square (REMS) = 64 g kg −1 , cellulose ( R 2 = 0.78 REMS = 58 g kg −1 ), and hemicellulose ( R 2 = 0.83, REMS = 59 g kg −1 ) declined nonlinearly with increasing maturity stage. Digestion rate of NDF, cellulose, and hemicellulose was faster in vegetative stems (average = 0.164 h −1 ) compared with reproductive stems (average = 0.093 h −1 ). Hemicellulose was digested 80% faster than cellulose. Our data demonstrated a close association between in situ digestibility of detergent‐fiber fractions and the Cornell index and further supports its utility.

To determine as optimal sowing time of forage rape in spring time in southern areas of Korea, forage rape cv. Velox, the highest yielding variety among introduced varieties of forage rape, was grown under five different sowing times. Yield components such as plant length, number of branches and number of leaves etc. were higher at the sowing time of Mar. 15 and Mar. 25. The plants sown at Mar. 15 and Mar. 25 also showed highest fresh and dry matter yield. When plants were grown under later sowing time, they showed higher values in content of crude protein and lower values in contents of crude fiber such as Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF), cellulose and lignin. There was no relationship between variation of In Vitro Dry matter Digestibility (IVDMD) and sowing time. The plants sown at Mar. 15 and Mar. 25 showed highest digestible dry matter yields.

We evaluated 30 cultivars of oats (Avena sativa L.) for forage quality and yield at heading and 10 days later in 1968. Quality traits measured included in vitro digestible dry matter (IVDDM), cell wall constituents (CWC), acid detergent fiber (ADF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), and crude protein (CP) concentration. Eleven of the cultivars were tested for 2 additional years. All three fiber components (CWC, ADF, and ADL) were positively correlated with each other and all were negatively correlated with IVDDM. Of the three, however, ADL was most closely associated with digestibility. Yield and quality were negatively correlated at heading, but independent 2 weeks later. Forage yield and grain yield were not associated. Forage yield was correlated with plant height and heading date. Cultivars differed in oat forage quality within a given environment; differences, however, generally were not repeatable over years. In contrast, cultivar variation for forage yield was consistent over years and sufficient for effective selection. Therefore, we recommend primary emphasis on forage yield in the developmnt of superior forage oat cultivars. However, one should examine forage quality before making final selections.

Abstract Poor dimensional stability restricts the commercial utilization of fast-growing wood. In this study, fast-growing poplar ( Populus cathayana ) was treated by removing hemicellulose with hydrothermal treatment and impregnating alkali lignin via full-cell process, synergistically, for enhanced dimensional stability. After modification, hydroxyl groups were reduced in hemicellulose removed wood (DHC), alkali lignin was observed to fill in the cell lumens of vessels and wood fibers in the impregnated wood (AL) and in the wood modified by hemicellulose removal with alkali lignin impregnation (DHCAL). Compared with untreated wood, the volumetric swelling ratio of DHC and AL decreased by 11 % and 21 % under relative humidity (RH) of 89 %, respectively. The volumetric swelling ratio of DHCAL decreased by over 50 %, indicating a positive synergistic effect. The combination of hemicellulose removal and alkali lignin impregnation treatment improved the dimensional stability of wood significantly by reconstructing wood chemical components with various levels of hygroscopicity. This work could meaningfully contribute to the efficient utilization of fast-growing wood and promote the added value of industrial alkali lignin.

Abstract The objective of this study was to compare and explain the variations in the production and nutritive value of canarana erecta lisa grass (Echinocloa pyramidalis Lam.) at different harvest intervals. The treatments corresponded to the cut intervals of 20, 27, 34, 41, 48, 55, 62, and 69 days. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with three replications. Each experimental unit had 6m2 (3m ×2m). The variables studied included forage production, canopy height, and nutritive value o harvested forage. Forage production varied from 11517 to 12324 kg ha-1; Plant heights from 48.8 to 234 cm; Neutral detergent fiber (NDF) from 68.8% to 71.13%; Acid detergent fiber (ADF) from 36.20% to 44.15%; Crude protein (CP) from 11.43% to 5.85% and in “in vitro” dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) from 63.30% to 47.42%. These values indicated that the nutritive value of canarana erecta lisa was reduced at longer harvest intervals. It is recommended to harvest the grass at 35 days of regrowth favoring productivity, nutritive value and forage digestibility.
