Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Lentil genotypes varied significantly in grain yield, straw yield and straw nutritive value.
- Intervention effect Urea treatment significantly improved straw nutritive value.
- Observation Genotypic range exceeded the urea effect by 13.3 units for crude protein.
- Observation Genotypic range exceeded the urea effect by 56 units for in vitro organic matter digestibility.
- Observation Genotypic range exceeded the urea effect by 0.82 units for metabolisable energy.
- Observation Genotypic range exceeded the urea effect by 106 units for potential dry matter intake.
- Observation Genotypic range exceeded the urea effect by 18.3 units for potential crude protein intake.
- Observation Genotypic range exceeded the urea effect by 1.62 units for potential metabolisable energy intake.
- Association Acid detergent fibre strongly correlated with other straw nutritive-value parameters.
- Method / resource Acid detergent fibre predicted in vitro organic matter digestibility with R2 of 0.9.
- Method / resource Acid detergent fibre predicted metabolisable energy with R2 of 0.8.
- Association Straw yield was weakly correlated with grain yield.
