Abstract Canola and oat forage potential may be affected by climatic conditions
when sown early. The objective of this study was to evaluate the forage canola and
oat potential in four early sowing dates (September 11 and 25; October 9 and 23)
during the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 cycles in Matamoros, Coahuila, Mexico.
Growth cycle duration, chemical composition, dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP),
and net energy for lactation (NEL) yields were determined. High temperatures and
long photoperiods affected crops seeded on September 11, accelerating growth and
reducing canola (26.6%-31.7%) and oat (15.8%) DM yields. As of September… More >
