“…In the present study, the digestibility of Festulolium steadily improved in a statistically significant way in successive harvests, from 61.05% in the first to 64.51% in the third. These results were confirmed by Truba et al [7]. Jankowski and Malinowska [3] recorded the highest digestibility in the forage of the second harvest (54.25%) and the lowest of the first (51.51%).…”

The aim of the experiment was to determine the effects of the foliar application of Tytanit, at the same time comparing it with the effects of mineral nitrogen, on the cellulose and hemicellulose content and its effect on Festulolium braunii digestibility. The experiment was founded in the spring of 2014 in the field of the University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in Siedlce, Poland. The plant used in the experiment was the Felopa variety of Festulolium braunii. The effects of Tytanit foliar application at a concentration of 0.2% and 1% and of mineral nitrogen at a dose of 80 and 160 kg/ha were studied in the experiment. During its full use (2015–2017), Festulolium braunii was harvested three times. The content of cellulose and hemicellulose was determined by near-infrared reflection spectroscopy (NIRS) using the NIRFlex N-500. The higher dose of 1% Tytanit contributed to an increase in cellulose content of Festulolium braunii (334.8 g kg−1), at the same time decreasing hemicellulose content (175.0 g kg−1), lignification degree (7.1%), dry matter digestibility (59.71%), and total digestible nutrient content (52.99%).

“…One of the most important factors affecting forage amounts and quality is fertilizer treatment, with N being an essential nutrient for plant growth and development. In view of the ecological aspect, that is, the need to reduce the use of chemical substances, natural fertilizers, like slurry (Obraztsov et al., 2018), and biological products are increasingly applied, including soil conditioners, manufactured on the basis of various types of microorganisms (Sosnowski et al, 2019; Truba et al., 2020). An undoubted advantage of slurry as a fertilizer is its significant content of nutrients (especially N) in available forms, while its disadvantage is large losses due to the leaching of the nitrate form (Christensen et al., 2009; Kall et al., 2016; Oenema et al., 2001).…”

The aim of the studies was to determine the effect of slurry supplemented with UGmax and Humus Active soil conditioners and with NPK fertilizers on the content of structural and non-structural carbohydrates and lignin in a forage grass species of Sulino variety [Festulolium braunii (K. Richt. A. Camus]. The 2-yr field experiment with three replicates and a completely randomized design was established on the experimental facilities of the University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in Siedlce, Poland. Cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, total protein, crude ash, and crude fat in plant material were determined by near-infrared reflection spectroscopy (NIRS). The amount of non-structural carbohydrates was calculated by deducting the weight of other components from 1,000 g of dry matter. The applied fertilizer significantly affected the content of structural and non-structural carbohydrates, but not lignin. The highest amounts of cellulose (283.0 g kg -1 ) and hemicelluloses (220.2 g kg -1 ) were recorded in plants treated with both slurry and Humus Active and UGmax, while the highest content of non-structural carbohydrates (220.2 g kg -1 ) was found in Festulolium braunii treated with slurry only. Cellulose and hemicellulose content significantly varied across growing seasons, while the amounts of cellulose, lignin, and non-structural carbohydrates varied across harvests. The interaction of slurry with soil conditioners, unlike only slurry treatment affected the formation of hemicellulose and non-structural carbohydrates. The combined use of Humus Active and slurry increased hemicellulose content by approximately 23%, while the content of non-structural carbohydrates decreased by about 35% in comparison to plants treated with slurry only.

“…Moreover, they have chelating abilities, which results in a more rational use of macro and micronutrients by plants and in a reduction of nutrient losses. Research by Wiśniewska-Kadżajan and Jankowski 15,16 , Sabry and Abdal-Latife 17 , Wiśniewska-Kadżajan and Stefaniak 18 , Godlewska and Ciepiela 3 , Bozhanska 19 and Truba et al 20 on the agricultural use of similar products and fertilizers has shown that they have a bene cial effect on the yield and chemical composition of grassland vegetation.…”

The aim of the experiment was to determine the impact of the interaction of slurry with soil conditioners used in organic farming on selected feed parameters of Phleum pratense biomass. The research was conducted in three replications at the experimental facility of Siedlce University (52°10′03"N; 22°17′24"E, Poland) in years 2015 - 2017. The fertilizers used in the experiment were cattle slurry used separately and supplemented with leonardite extract and vermicompost extract, as well as mineral NPK. Cattle slurry was used each year at a total dose of 30 m3 ha-1, divided into individual cuts. Soil conditioners were used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. NPK mineral fertilization was applied at doses: N – 100, P – 30, K – 100 kg ha-1. The tested plant in the experiment was forage grass of the species Phleum pratense of the Secesja variety. The content of the neutral detergent fiber fraction and acid detergent fiber fraction was analyzed in the plant material samples using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). The relative nutritional value was determined based on the neutral and acid detergent fiber fraction content. It was shown that the addition of vermicompost and NPK extract to the slurry improved the values of the tested parameters compared to the slurry alone. The feed value of biomass collected from facilities fed with slurry and NPK was higher than the feed value of biomass fertilized with slurry with leonardite extract, but comparable to the value of biomass fertilized with slurry supplemented with vermicompost extract.
