This study was conducted to investigate the effects of mixture of different maturity groups on dry matter yield and nutriive value of oat(va. Foothill and Swan) and rape(va. Akela, Sparta and Barnapoli) in the spring in 1998.
The results obtained are summarized as follows;
1.Plant height of Swan was very slightly higher than that of Foothill in oat, but there was no significant difference. Also, although there was no significant difference, there was high in plant height of Barnapoli with Foothill, and Akela with Swan.
2.Dry matter(DM) yield of Foothill was very slightly higher than that of Foothill in oat, but there was no significant difference. Although there was no significant difference, dry matter yield of Akela with Foothill and Sparta with Swan was the highest in both oats.
3.Crude protein(CP) content and crude protein yield(CPY) of Foothill were very slightly higher than that of Swan in oat. And it was slightly higher in Barnapoli with Foothill and Sparta with Swan.
4.Acid detergent fiber and crude fiber content of Foothill were very slightly higher than that of Swan in oat. And it was slightly higher in Akela with Foothill, and it was greatly higher in Sparta with Swan.
5.Total digestible nutrients(TDN) of Foothill was very slightly lower than that of Swan in oat. And it was slightly higher in Sparta and Barnapoli with Foothill, and it was slightly higher in Barnapoli with Swan.
The results demonstrated that although there was not significant difference, the mixture of var, Foothill of oat and var, Barnapoli of rape in the spring was very good for nutritive value and DM yield in Korea.
