I need some of review of literatures about the impact of agronomic factors on forage quality parameters. Please suggest me related literatures. Thank u
Dear Dr Monyer thanks for your response. I have gone through this PDF. It's a good compilation but more emphasis was given to quality parameters of crop residue but what I needed is impact of these factors on quality parameters of green fodder.
For example, water stress causes tolerance mechanisms in fodder (synthesis of the resistance substance) and then affects the forage's degradation quality.
I believe this is a good review of agronomic factors that affect forage quality. Check the link and if you don't have access feel free to contact me for a copy.
Agronomic factors is too wide. Those are for old papers that discuss your topic and some focus in fertilization and cool season grasses. Management and systems are agronomic factors as well.
