Abstract

Sheep fescue is one of the most important and effective grasses in the summer rangelands of Golestan Province. It is a key species in SARALIABAD GORGAN rangelands, having an average production and relative consumption of 38.9 and 41.6% respectively. One of the important factors in determining grazing capacity is ALLOWABLE USE of species. Due to lack of sufficient information in this regard, this research was performed in order to determine the ALLOWABLE USE of sheep fescue during 2006 to 2011 at SARALIABAD GORGAN rangelands. Experimental treatments in each block were included four harvesting intensities (25, 50, 75 percent and control or no harvesting). In each treatment, 10 species were assessed as replication. Results were analyzed by SAS software in split plot statistical design. The results of production showed that the effect of year, different harvesting intensities and their interactions was significant of (P<0.01). The effect of year showed that except first and second year, there was a significant difference between the mentioned years with the third and fourth year of the study. Also, the effect of harvesting treatments showed that only a harvesting of 75% had a negative impact on production. The interaction effect between year and treatments showed significant differences for control treatment despite no harvesting. Therefore, another factor was effective in reduction of the production and it was the rain. Results of the effects of HARVESTING INTENSITY on freshness and mortality of sheep fescue showed that most of the species had acceptable freshness and vitality; also no mortality was recorded for the years and treatments. According to the results and with regard to other functions of SARALIABAD GORGAN rangelands, an ALLOWABLE USE of 60% is recommended for sheep fescue (Festuca ovina).
