Description
The prevailing approach for developing fodder base in the North-Western economic region of the USSR is grass feed production. So, choosing plants which should maximize the accumulation of solar energy and provide high yields of quality satisfying cattle requirements is of exclusive importance. Our many year studies of different perennial grasses showed that tall fescue is one of the best to use solar energy in the given conditions of environment. So the experiment was carried out in 1979-1986 with the aim of determining solar energy accumulation and energetic nutritive value of this crop at different cutting frequencies.
