The Effect of Wheat Residues and Vermicompost on the Quality Characteristics of Corn (Zea mays L.) Forage and Soil Fertility by Hasanali Pooresmaeil, Mehdi Dahmradeh, Ahmad Ghanbari

“…Organic materials increase the ability to absorb nutrients and increase the quality of corn forage by increasing DMD and reducing ADF. The results of this research demonstrated that the integrated system of 70% vermicompost and 30% wheat residue exhibited significant advantages in the characteristics under investigation, outperforming other treatments in the test area.…”
