Effects of cutting Frequency and the Last cutting Date on Regrowth and Production in Timothy-dominated Sward

티머시 우점초지에서 예취빈도와 최종예취시기가 목초의 재생 및 생산성에 미치는 영향

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of cutting frequency and the last cutting date on the dry matter yield, the initial characteristics of spring growth, the yield of the first crops after winter, crude protein and crude fiber yield and the correlation efficients among the above items in timothy-dominated award. Cutting frequency was scheduled by 2, 3 and 4 times a year as main plot and the last cutting date in autumm were sept. 30, Oct. 10 and Oct. 20 as subplot. Experiment was arranged as a split-plot design with three replications and was performed for 4 years from 1980 to 1983 at the alpine area. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The start of spring growth was somehow early as cutting frequency increased but not significant, and was not influenced by the last cutting data. 2. The dry matter yield was decreased by cutting frequency, but was not affected by the last cutting data. 3. The dry matter yield of the first crops after winter significantly decreased by cutting frequency, but failed to show and significant differences by the last cutting date. 4. Crude protein yield was increased by cutting frequency, while dry matter percentage was decreased. Crude fiber yield did not show the same trends. 5. There was a significant positive correlation between DM yield and DM percentage and yield of the first crops after winter, and between DM percentage and yield of the first crops after winter. However, there was a significant negative correlation between crude protein yield and DM percentage and yield of the first crops after winter. 6. It may be concluded from the above results that three times as cutting frequency and Sept. 30 as the last cutting data were desirable for the DM yield, but four times as cutting frequency and Sept. 30 as the last cutting data for the crude protein yield.

본(本) 시험(試驗)은 고랭지(高冷地) Timothy 우점초지에서 목초(牧草)의 적정(適正) 예취회수(刈取回數)와 최종(最終) 예취시기(刈取時期)를 구명(究明)하고자 DM 생산량(生産量), 월동후(越冬後) 초기생육특성(初期生育特性), 다음해 1차수량(次收量) 조단백질(粗蛋白質) 및 조섬유(粗纖維) 생산량(生産量)을 조사(調査)하고 그들간(間)의 상관관계(相關關係)를 분석(分析)한 결과(結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 초기생육(初期生育)이 개시(開始)되는 시기(時期)는 예취회수(刈取回數)가 증가(增加)함에 따라 빨라지는 경향(傾向)이었으나 유의차(有意差)가 없었으며 최종예취일(最終刈取日)에 따른 영향은 일정하지 않았다. 2. 예취회수(刈取回數)가 증가(增加)함에 따라 건물생산량(乾物生産量)은 감소하였으나 최종예취일(最終刈取日)에 따른 차이(差異)는 없었다. 3. 월동후 1 차수량(次收量)은 예취회수(刈取回數)에 따라 현저히 감소하였으나 최종예취일(最終刈取日)에 따른 차이(差異)는 뚜렷하지 않았다. 4. 조단백질(粗蛋白質) 생산량(生産量)은 예취회수(刈取回數)가 증가(增加)할수록 많아졌으나 건물율(乾物率)은 낮아지는 경향이었고 조섬유(粗纖維) 생산량(生産量)은 일정하지 않았다. 5. 건물수량(乾物收量)과 건물율(乾物率)($\gamma=0.78$) 및 다음해 1차수량(次收量)($\gamma=0.82$)간(間)과 건물율(乾物率)과 다음해 1차수량(次收量)($\gamma=0.83$)간(間)에는 정(正)의 상관(相關)이 있었고(p<0.01), 조단백질(粗蛋白質) 생산량(生産量)과 건물율(乾物率)($\gamma=-0.67$) 및 다음해 1차수량(次收量)($\gamma=-0.68$)간(間)에는 부(負)의 상관(相關)이었다(p<0.01). 6. 이상(以上)의 결과(結果)를 종합(綜合)해 볼 때 건물생산(乾物生産)에 있어서는 년간(年間) 예취회수(刈取回數)는 3회(回)호 하고 최종예취일(最終刈取日)은 9월(月) 30일(日)로 하는 것이 적당(適當)하다고 생각되며 조단백질(粗蛋白質) 수량(收量)을 고려한다면 4회(回) 예취(刈取)에 최종예취일(最終刈取日)은 9월(月) 30일(日)로 하는 것이 좋다고 사료(思料)된다.
