Verbatim
e0“Oat (Avena sativa L.) variety of Canadian Monopoly and alfalfa variety of WL525HQ were used”
e1“a field experiment was conducted to study the effects of the mixed cropping ratio of oat and alfalfa”
e6“Furthermore, the relative growth rate, forage yield, neutral detergent fiber, and crude ash were decreased prominently with decreased oats and increased alfalfa sowing rate, and the highest and lowest values showed under T1 and T5, respectively”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Plant height, chlorophyll and soluble sugar rose and then fell as oats were reduced and alfalfa increased, peaking under T2.
- Intervention effect Starch, antioxidant enzymes and crude fat rose and then fell as oats were reduced and alfalfa increased.
- Association Malondialdehyde and acid detergent fiber first fell significantly and then rose across the mixed cropping ratios.
- Intervention effect Neutral detergent fiber and crude ash fell as oats were reduced and alfalfa increased, lowest under T5.
- Association Sucrose, proline and N contents were highest under T2 and lowest under T1.
- Association P, K and relative feeding value contents were highest under T2 and lowest under T1.
- Association Crude protein content was highest under T2 and lowest under T1.
- Intervention effect The T2 mixed cropping treatment gave the best biomass yield and forage quality.
- Mechanism The T2 mixed cropping improved biomass yield and forage quality through enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, osmotic regulators, and nutrient uptake.
- Recommendation Oat with 25% alfalfa (75% oat mixed cropping) is recommended as a salt-tolerant cultivation technique in moderately saline soil.
