Forage production technology on the base of mixed yellow lupin and grasses crops

Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of productivity and nutritional value of yellow lupin crops mixed with barley or spring wheat in the South-West part of the Non-Chernozem zone of Russia. Cultivation of yellow lupin in barley or spring wheat mixed crops at developed sowing rates without mineral fertilizers and herbicides allows increase the yield of dry matter, forage units and metabolic energy per an acreage unit and produce protein balanced forage.
