Using phenological progression and phenological complementarity to reveal potential for late grassland harvest

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Farmers often face the problem of which grasslands enable harvest later in the season without a substantial decline in fodder quality. We used an experiment in dry broad-leaved grassland in the White Carpathian Mountains (Czech Republic) with three treatments: sheep grazing, mowing in mid-July and fallow. Species cover and phenophase were recorded in permanent plots at the beginning of May, June and July during two seasons. Phenological complementarity appeared only in the grazed plots. Community-weighted means of plant traits revealed that grazed and mown plots were characterised by earlier flowering and lower leaf dry matter content than fallow plots. Consistently, community phenological progression was the fastest in the mown plots and the slowest in the fallow plots. Mown plots accelerated the development earlier than grazed plots. We concluded that long-term grazed swards offer greater potential for a single late harvest than mown grasslands, as fodder quality is expected to decli
