Abstract

Appropriate harvesting management is essential for sustainable forage production and improving nutritional quality. In this study, four forage crops, including Medicago sativa (Ms), Vicia sativa (Vs), Avena sativa (As), and Sorghum Sudangrass (Ss) were evaluated under two harvesting modes, i.e. single harvest and multiple cuttings. Results showed that multiple cuttings increased the forage yield of Ms., As, and Ss by 82 %–114 %, 7.5 %–51 %, and 21 %–150 % compared to the single harvest. The acid and neutral detergent fiber concentration decreased, while crude protein contents increased with multiple cuttings. Also, multiple cuttings increased the ether extract content of Ms. and Ss and reduced the ash content by 9.42 % to 33.04 % from 2015 to 2016. The variation range of legume forages' annual yield was 18.66 %–33.04 %, while that of gramineous forages was 9.42 %–25.98 %. The relative feeding value (RFV) of Ms. was higher than that of other forages under multiple cuttings. In general, multiple cuttings decreased the SOC content, but the effect was insignificant for the two leguminous forages. Correlations analysis showed a significant positive relationship of RFV and CP with precipitation while a negative relationship of ADF and NDF with temperature. Moreover, results of yield stability, contribution rate, and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) analysis showed that the response of legume crops to multiple cutting was superior to that of gramineous crops. Overall, the cultivation of leguminous forage under multiple cuttings can provide a basis for the development of pastoral agriculture production and animal husbandry in arid regions of China.

在雨水灌溉的农业生态系统中,多次割草可提高牧草产量并增强豆科牧草的稳定性
适当的收割管理对于可持续饲草生产和提高营养质量至关重要。在这项研究中,对四种牧草作物,包括苜蓿(Medicago sativa,Ms)、紫花苜蓿(Vicia sativa,Vs)、莜麦(Avena sativa,As)和高粱苏丹草(Sorghum Sudangrass,Ss)进行了单次收割和多次扦插两种收割模式的评估。结果表明,与单次收割相比,多次扦插可使女士草、阿斯草和苏丹草的牧草产量分别增加 82 %-114 %、7.5 %-51 % 和 21 %-150 %。多次扦插会降低酸性和中性洗涤纤维的浓度,而增加粗蛋白含量。此外,从2015年到2016年,多次扦插还增加了Ms.和Ss的醚提取物含量,灰分含量降低了9.42 %至33.04 %。豆科牧草年产量的变化范围为 18.66 %-33.04 %,禾本科牧草的变化范围为 9.42 %-25.98 %。在多次扦插条件下,Ms.的相对饲养价值(RFV)高于其他牧草。一般来说,多次扦插会降低 SOC 含量,但对两种豆科牧草的影响并不显著。相关分析表明,RFV 和 CP 与降水量呈显著正相关,而 ADF 和 NDF 与温度呈负相关。此外,产量稳定性、贡献率和 TOPSIS(与理想解相似的排序偏好技术)分析结果表明,豆科作物对多次切割的反应优于禾本科作物。总之,多次扦插法种植豆科牧草可为中国干旱地区牧业生产和畜牧业的发展提供基础。
