Fodder Yield, Quality and Growth of Chia (<i>Salvia hispanica</i> L.) as Affected by Sowing Density and Top-Dressing Nitrogen Fertilization

Fodder Yield, Quality and Growth of Chia (<i>Salvia hispanica</i> L.) as Affected by Sowing Density and Top-Dressing Nitrogen Fertilization

Chia (<i>Salvia hispanica</i> L.) seeds are considered a superfood, but research on vegetative biomass uses is scarce. We conducted a two-year trial under the hypothesis that short-day flowering black chia would provide quality forage at high latitudes and tested sowing density (D1 = 125...
