Abstract

Field studies were conducted in 2016–2018 at the Agricultural Experimental Station in Zawady, which belongs to the Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities, located near Siedlce in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship. The aim of the conducted research was to evaluate the content of selected nutrients in mixtures of narrowleaf lupin with spring triticale harvested at two developmental stages of narrowleaf lupin. The highest content of total carbohydrates, water-soluble carbohydrates and crude ash, among the mixtures, was revealed in a mixture with 75% narrowleaf lupin and 25% spring triticale. In contrast, the highest crude fat content was found in mixtures with component shares of narrowleaf lupin and spring triticale of 75% + 25% and 50% + 50%, respectively. A higher carbohydrate and crude ash content was determined in mixtures harvested at the flowering stage of narrowleaf lupin, while higher crude fat contents were determined in mixtures harvested at the flat green pod stage of narrowleaf lupin. Among the mixtures to be grown to achieve fodder with a high content of total carbohydrates, water-soluble carbohydrates, crude fat and crude ash a mixture with 75% + 25% components of narrowleaf lupin and spring triticale, respectively, should be recommended and harvested at the narrowleaf lupin flowering stage.
