“…It has been shown that the application of natural fertilizers such as manure or N and P mineral fertilizers has increased the above-soil biomass and microbial community, stimulated plant diversity, and, at the same time, contributed to overgrazed topsoil regeneration [9][10][11]. The effect of this procedure has been shown to be beneficial for a great diversity of grassland [12,13], not only by restoring the vegetation but also by increasing the amount of forage crude protein (CP) and dried matter digestibility [14], which, in their own way, have a helpful influence on the grazing animals.…”

In order to obtain more data concerning the influence of fertilizers (organic and mineral) on different forage plants in the northeastern Romanian grassland, the mass fractions of 14 essential, enzymatic, or toxic elements were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis together with the amount of crude proteins, ash, fibers, as well as fat ether extract. The final results showed a significant variance in the content of analyzed elements on organic as well as on mineral fertilized experimental plots. At the same time, increased content of crude protein and fat ether extract was evident in fertilized grasses for all applied fertilizers, while other global indicators such as neutral and acid fibers of sulfuric lignin content decreased, suggesting significantly higher nutritional values for fertilized forage plants.
