Abstract

This research was carried out during the 2020 growing season to investigate the effects of different organomineral fertilization doses on forage yield and quality traits of second crop silage maize under Eastern Mediterranean conditions. In the study, a total of 7 different fertilizer treatments were used, including the control (0 kg ha-1 N), the recommended inorganic fertilizer N dose (300 kg ha-1 N), and 5 different organomineral fertilizer N doses (100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 kg ha-1 N). Inorganic fertilizer treatment (INORG) exhibited the highest dry matter yield (13.21 t ha-1), followed by 300 kg ha-1 (13.10 t ha-1), 200 kg ha-1 (12.19 t ha-1), 250 kg ha-1 (12.16 t ha-1), and 150 kg ha-1 (12.01 t ha-1) organomineral fertilizer doses, with slight differences. INORG provided also the highest crude protein content (6.75%), followed by 250 kg ha-1 (6.46%) and 300 kg ha-1 (6.34%) organomineral fertilizer doses with slight differences. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between fertilizer treatments in terms of ADF, NDF, and RFV values. These results showed that 300 and 250 kg ha-1 organomineral fertilizer treatments may be used successfully in silage maize cultivation as an alternative to INORG under Eastern Mediterranean conditions.
