| Summary: | The establishment of a varied assortment of fodder plants which allows the obtaining of sustainable harvests in the context of the last year’s weather and climatic evolutions has to be an important objective both for specialists and for farmers. The irregular distribution of rainfalls and the high temperatures during vegetative period determine a deficit of fodder production. In these conditions sorghum x Sudan grass hybrid was studied as complementary fresh matter (FM) source to the other fodder crops considered as traditional in Transylvania. The FM yield obtained with unfertilized sorghum x Sudan grass hybrid in the two cuttings was lower than yields obtained with grass and legume mixtures (oat and pea mixture, triticale and pea mixture) but the yield differences were not significant. |
