Abstract

Evaluation of different forage crops (clover, barley, chickpea, vetch, and fenugreek) and the planting method's impact on quality and quantity of forage yield is this study’ s main goal. The study has been conducted as a split-plot based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications on the experimental research field of agriculture faculty, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz during 2017-2018. The main plot includes three planting methods (row intercropping with 10 cm and 20 cm interval and mixed intercropping) with the sub-plot being seven forage crops with dominance of barley (50% barley+50% clover as control, 50% barley+25% clover+25% chickpea, 50% barley+25% clover+25% vetch, 50% barley+25% clover+25% fenugreek, and 50% barley+25% vetch+25% fenugreek). Total forage yield and yield components as well as some quality parameters of forage (ADF, NDF, WSC, DMD, raw fiber and ash have been measured, with the results showing that the highest total forage yield (1268. 9 g. m-2) belongs to crop diversity of 50% barley + 25% chickpea + 25% fenugreek with 10 cm-row intercropping. This can be due to the highest of all forage yield components, including stem, leaves, and reproductive dry weight. On the contrary, mixed intercropping with the diversity of 50% barley + 50% clover (common method) has had the lowest total dry weight (607. 2 g. m-2), 47% less than row intercropping. For both quality and quantity parameters, 10 cm-row intercropping have higher forage yield and protein percentage than mixed intercropping, mainly because of higher leave weight produced. The 10-cm-row intercropping has lower CF, ADF, and NDF, but higher WSC and DMD than row intercropping. This variety explains higher raw fiber in mixed intercropping. Yet, it seems that crop diversity has no significant effect on forage yield as well as increased quality parameters, which improve the forage quality and digestibility statistically. Therefore, crop verity could be an effective factor to improve forage yield quantity and quality in crop management.
