TI  - Effects of Applying Nitrogen on Yield of Silage Maize Grown after Forage Legumes
AB  - In a 2-year study, it was determined how winter planting variousforage legumes (Hungarian vetch, narbon vetch and forage pea) beforeapplying nitrogen (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 kg N da-1) affected the yieldcomponents of silage maize grown afterward. Fallow was applied forcontrol treatment. The results showed that among the forage legumescultivated from October to May, forage peas afforded the highest freshweight (4279 kg da-1) and the dry matter ratio (20.50%). However,narbon vetch affected all other yield components of silage maize exceptdry matter ratio more positively than the other legumes and increasedthe green yield by 30.3% compared yields achieved in control plots.The dry matter ratio of silage maize was higher in plots grown withHungarian vetch and forage pea plots because of their later sowingand harvest times. Later, applying nitrogen positively affected thegreen yields of silage maize by up to 15 kg N da-1. Such results readilyapply to cultivating crops with high nitrogen demands (e.g., maize) insoils with low organic matter content. It was concluded that narbonvetch as a previous crop should be advised for silage maize and topdressing of 15 kg N da-1 could be beneficial for increasing green maizeyield.
