The influence of nitrogen fertilization applied in different doses on fodder quality of meadow sward

The experiment was organized in four replicants in arrangement split-plot with plots having a surface equal 9 m². The basic fertilization was applied under the first regrowth. It was a mixture of unary fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, superphosphate, potassic salt) or polifoska. One form of supplementary fertilization was applied under the second and third regrowth. It was the stable form of fertilizer applied to soil. This form of supplemented nitrogen gave respectively: 50 kg N•ha ^-1; 80 kg N•ha^-1; 110 kg N•ha ^-1; per each moving. During the vegetation season three movings were harvested. From each movings the sampIes of green matter were taken for chemical analyses, i.e. total protein content, soluble carbohydrates and net energy (NEL). The obtained results showed large differences in fodder quality of the meadow sward fertilized with three doses of nitrogen.
