Effect of Mixture Type on the Herbage Yield and Quality

혼파유형이 목초의 수량과 품질에 미치는 영향

The objectives of this experiment were to suggest that the suitable mixture type for the herbage use under an intensive system of short-term pasture utilization in fallow land. The field trials were conducted over a 3-year (1989∼1991) period to evaluate the effects of mixture types (pure stands; orchardgrass (OG), simple mixtures; orchardgrass (OG) + red clover (RC), and complex mixtures (C. Mix; orchardgrass + tall fescue + Kentucky bluegrass + ladino clover) on the herbage yield and quality. Mean total dry matter yields per hectare over the three years were higher for OG + RC as 11,849 kg than for OG as 10,709 kg and for C. Mix as 11,371 kg (P<0.05). The concentrations of crude protein were not different among treatments while the concentrations of organic matter digestibility in total herbage over the three years from OG + RC were higher than OG (P<0.05). The total herbage crude protein yields were higher for OG + RC as 2,231 kg than for OG as 1,816 kg and for C. Mix as 2,053 kg (P<0.01). The total herbage digestible organic matter yields were higher for OG + RC as 7,147 kg than for OG as 6,116 kg and for C. Mix as 6,817 kg (P<0.05). On the other hand, organic matter intake per kg were different among the treatments, while organic matter intake per live weight kg from OG + RC as 338 g and C. Mix as 392 g were higher than from OG as 377 g (P<0.01). From the results, it could be considered that OG + RC simple mixture was suitable for the intensive short-term pasture utilization in the fallow land.

휴경지에서의 집약적인 단기간(3∼6년) 초지이용체계에 적합한 혼파유형을 제시하고자 orchardgrass (OG) 단파, orchardgrass(OG) + red clover(RC) 단순혼파 및 orchardgrass + tall fescue + Kentucky bluegrass + ladino clover에 의한 다초종 혼파(cormplex mixtures, C. Mix) 등의 처리를 두어 이들 혼파유형이 목초의 수량과 품질에 미치는 영향에 대하여 3년간(1989∼'91) 시험하였다. 3년간의 ha당 평균 건물수량은 OG구(10,709kg)나 C. Mix구(11,371kg)에 비하여 OG+RC구(11,849kg)가 높았다(P<0.05). 조단백질함량은 처리간에 차이가 없었으나 3년간 평균 가소화 유기물함량은 OG구보다 OG+RC구가 높았다(P<0.05). ha당 조단백질수량은 OG구(1,816kg)나 C. Mix구(2,053kg)에 비하여 OG+RCf(2.231kg)가 높았고(P<0.01), 가소화 유기물수량도 OG구(6,116kg)나 C. Mix구(6,817kg)에 비하여 OG+RC구(7,147kg)가 높았다(P<0.05). 한편 체중 kg당 건물섭취량은 처리간에 차이가 없었으나 두당 유기물 섭취량은 OG구(377g)보다 OG+RC구(388g)와 C. Mix구(392g)에서 높았다(P<0.01). 이상의 결과를 검토할 때 OG+RC 단순혼파가 단기간의 집약적인 초지이용에 가장 적합하다고 사료된다.
