Silage was prepared using a small-scale fermentation system, and treatments were designed as control silage without additive or with BP (30% fresh matter basis), LAB inoculant Chikuso-1 (Lactobacillus plantarum, 5 mg/kg, fresh matter basis), and BP + LAB.
FYM increased soil mineral N concentration, the lettuce fresh matter (FM) yield and nitrate concentration in lettuce.
The maximum load (1602 g) occurred on fruiting cladodes with 1629 g of fresh matter, and corresponded to 2014.
Remarkably, fruiting cladode excess dry and fresh matter required for producing fruit could be important factors to avoid high variation between productivity levels in successive years.
Their difference was in the content of Quebracho extract which was 0, 30 and 60 g per kg fresh matter, respectively.
Both PM and AM cuts were field-wilted and harvested as baleage (531 ± 15.0 g of dry matter/kg of fresh matter).
The plants inoculated with R. clarus presented the highest production of fresh matter, shoot height and number of leaves when P was applied to the soil.
About 70 and 60 kg fresh matter of lucerne and orchardgrass, respectively, were ensiled in nine silos of 120 l capacity.
Alfalfa was cut at sundown or sunup, field-wilted, and harvested as baleage (530 ± 15.0 g of dry matter/kg of fresh matter).
He helped demolish the steady-state theory of the universe, which claimed that the expanding cosmos was forever being filled with fresh matter.
Specific fuel consumption per unit of chipped biomass varied between 1.5 and 4.2 L t−1, of fresh matter, or 2.3 and 6.4 L t−1 of dry matter.
