The effect of soil conditioners on the content of soluble carbohydrates, digestible protein and the carbohydrate–protein ratio in Lolium perenne and Dactylis glomerata

A three-year field experiment (52.169°N, 22.280°E), in which each treatment was replicated three times, was set up in a randomised split-plot design in the autumn of 2011. The main experimental factors were soil conditioners with the trade names such as UGmax, Eko-Użyźniacz and Humus Active Papka, w...

The main experimental factors were soil conditioners with the trade names such as UGmax, Eko-Użyźniacz and Humus Active Papka, which were applied on their own and with mineral fertilisers. They were applied to the soil with two forage grasses: the Bora variety of Dactylis glomerata and Lolium perenne of the Info variety.
