- Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different cutting height and nitrogen levels on the forage yield and some quality parameters of giant kinggrass (Pennisetum hybridum). Material and methods: The study was carried out at Ege University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops, Izmir/Turkey, during the summer growth seasons of 2019 and 2020. In experiment, five different cutting height (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 cm) and five nitrogen levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 kg N ha-1 ) were tested. Some characteristics were measured such number of tiller, plant height, dry matter (DM) yield, crude protein (CP) concentration, NDF, ADF contents and root weight. Results and conclusion: Results indicated that increasing N levels increased DM yield, CP content and root weight, and improved cell wall components (NDF and ADF) as compared to the control. Although lower cutting heights increased DM yield; CP content, plant height and root weight decreased. Cutting heights of 10 to 15 cm and application of 150 kg N·ha-1 can be recommended throughout the growing season for silage production of giant kingrass for plant persistence, with high yield and acceptable forage quality, and for the safe operation of the harvest equipment’s.
