Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to evaluate the forage feeding value of short-stature corn (SSC) genotype characterized by a brachytic2 (i.e., br2) mutation in comparison to tall-stature corn genotype (TSC) harvested at 5 different harvest moments (HM; i.e., 114, 119, 125, 135, and 149 d). In particular, 5 corn varieties selected for whole-plant silage were grown in an experimental field and harvested at 5 different...
