It is traditional in the early spring period to use winter rye for green fodder, which due to the rapid growth rate is actually the first. However, due to the short period of its use, rye is not able to fully meet the needs of animals at this time, because, unlike wheat, in the earing phase the vegetative mass of rye becomes unfit for feeding. Thus, the optimal period of feeding rye lasts only about 6–8 days, then the feed is mowed perennial grasses, which at this time have still low yields, and winter wheat, which in production conditions, both economically and energetically is impractical. Thus, in many countries of the world there is a question of the maximum reduction of use of crops of winter wheat for forage purposes and its replacement by higher-yielding forage crop – triticale which, in comparison with wheat provides 3 times higher collection of forage units and 2 times digestible. protein. In addition, due to the high photosynthetic potential, even in the phase of entering the tube, which occurs at the end of harvesting winter rye for green fodder, triticale forms a higher yield of green mass and dry matter than winter wheat.The purpose of research – to establish the influence of technological factors of cultivation on the formation of dry matter of winter intermediate crops of triticale on green fodder in the forest-steppe of Ukraine.
