Abstract

Silage is produced by ensilage, that is, the placing of crop material inside a vessel or a structure called a silo. The material may be an entire crop or only part of a crop, such as the grain portion. The principles of silage preservation have been reviewed comprehensively by Barnett, Watson and Nash, Woolford, and McDonald et al. The recent introduction of mower-conditioners that spread the crop over the complete area of a field should give added impetus to the rapid wilting of grasses and legumes and thereby reduce the risk of any adverse environmental impact from the resultant silage. Appropriate technologies for making silage from forages and byproducts are emerging, but there will be a continued requirement to harvest material of reasonable nutritional value and to maintain that feeding value and reduce losses during the storage and feeding periods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
