SUMMARY
Chemical fertilizer deficiency has a negative impact on the quantity and quality of forages. Simultaneously, excessive amounts of additional fertilizers tend to develop succulent-type plants, which increase the plant’s vulnerability to diseases, insect pests, and lodging. It also causes harmful impacts on soil health and its biota. Therefore a clear understanding is required about the ways
which not only results in decreasing these harmful effects but also helps us to provide a better agricultural environment for our future generations.
Key words: Forages, fertilizer, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber
