Track 1-11: Advances in Forage Conservation to Improve Quality
Description
Winter crops of rye, barley, oats and Italian ryegrass are used alone or combined as silage crops or green forage in autumn and spring in Korea. The production and utilization of winter crops have been increasing since 2000, because of high yield and double cropping potential in the rice field after harvesting rice. An advantage of these winter crops is that they are produced in the cool season. However, a main problem in making silage with these winter crops is that they are sometimes poor in quality for various reasons.
Therefore we conducted a survey of farms and forage selling cooperatives, on forage and silage quality for the last five years.
