| What type of experimental design was used to study spring maize silage yield and quality? | randomised complete block design (RCBD) | In north-western India, maize (Zea maysL.) is mainly grown in spring season for silage making. Sowing time of spring maize in different rice (OryzasativaL.) and maize-based crop rotations varies, and it affects the yield and quality of silage. The present experiment was conducted during 2020–21 and 2021–22 at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab with four crop rotations i.e. maize–toria (Brassica rapassp.oleifera)-spring maize (silage); rice (Oryza sativaL.)–barley (Hordeum vulgareL.) (silage)–spring maize (silage); rice–wheat (Triticum aestivumL.) (silage)–spring maize (silage) and maize–rapeseed (Brassica napusL.)–spring maize (silage) to evaluate the spring maize silage yield and quality in randomised complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. | 715 | definition | 1.000 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IJAgS/article/view/163821 | maize–toria (Brassica rapassp.oleifera)-spring maize (silage); rice (Oryza sativaL.)–barley (Hordeum vulgareL.)

| What was the impact of the March 2022 heat wave on silage yield? | 24–28% reduction in silage yield | Further, heat wave in northern India during March 2022 resulted in 24–28% reduction in silage yield in four crop rotations during 2022 than 2021. Results indicated that maize–toria–spring maize and rice–barley–spring maize rotations are most suitable for achieving high-quality spring maize silage production. AOAC. 2007.

| At which growth stage was spring maize collected for silage production? | milk stage | Sowing of spring maize was undertaken from 8thFebruary to 19thMarch in different crop rotations and harvested at milk stage for silage making. Spring maize grown in maize–toria–spring maize took greater number of days for reaching all phenological stages. During 2021, heat use efficiency (HUE) was higher in maize–toria–spring maize, was similar with rice–barley–spring maize and rice–wheat–spring maize.However, during 2022, maize–toria–spring maize recorded higher HUE and better silage quality than all other treatments.Higher silage yield of spring maize was recorded in maize–toria–spring maize, was similar to rice–barley–spring maize but higher than rice–wheat–spring maize and maize–rapeseed–spring maize rotations during both years. The delayed sowing altered the phenological development of maize, resulted in reduced silage yield and quality. | 113 | definition | 0.940 | https://epubs.icar.org.in/index.php/IJAgS/article/view/163821 | Sowing of spring maize was undertaken from 8thFebruary to 19thMarch in different crop rotations and harvested at milk stage for silage making. | | p[0] | 0.700 |
