Effect of Mixed Seeding Types and Ratios of Whole Crop Barley for High Yield and Feed Value

This study was conducted to investigate the mixed seeding of 5 forage barley varieties (youngyang, yuyeon, dami, wooho, soman) with 1 malting barley variety (hopum). Yield of the mixed seeding was compared with each single seeding and variety combinations. Yield of mixed seeding combination was higher than each single seeding. In mixed seeding of u0027Youngyangu0027 and u0027Hopumu0027 (50% and 50% ratio), u0027Yuyeonu0027 and u0027Hopumu0027 (70% and 30% ratio), u0027Damiu0027 and u0027Hopumu0027 (50% and 50% ratio), u0027Woohou0027 and u0027Hopumu0027 (50% and 50% ratio) were higher yield of dry weight than yield of other mixed ratios. Most of all, mixed seeding of u0027Damiu0027 and u0027Hopumu0027 were high yield mixed seeding (ratios of 50% each other). In generally, the yields of barley mixed seeding with malting barley u0027Hopumu0027 were high production. The forage quality of mixed seeding combination was higher than any each single seeding. u0027Youyeonu0027 50% and u0027Hopumu0027 50% ratio was more higher TDN content (69.2%) than any other mixed combination.
