EVALUAREA PRODUCȚIEI ȘI CALITĂȚII SPECIEI ALOPECURUS PRATENSIS ÎN CONDIȚIILE SPECIFICE DEPRESIUNII BRAȘOVULUI

Abstract

The study was carried out based on the experience of a comparative culture, which is composed of 11 genotypes of Alopecurus pratensis and presents the production capacity and the quality of the fodder obtained under the specific conditions of the Brașov Depression in the year 2023. The results obtained showed that the production of dry matter of the species was obtained between 8.68 and 10.27 tons per hectare. The fodder quality of the species was good, having an average content of crude protein (CB) of 13.8%, in crude fiber (CF) of 32.6%, and digestibility coefficients (DMD, DOM) varied between 57.4 and 60.5%. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the species Alopecurus pratensis in culture has a high potential, a minimum of three harvests can be made in an agricultural year, at first cut the highest production of dry matter is obtained, representing 45% of the total production, and depending on the phenophase of the vegetation at harvest, the fodder obtained can ensure a high quality.
