Previous research and
farm experience indicated
that growing soybeans in
com silage via interplanting
in the same drill does not
appreciably increase the
protein content or feeding
value of whole plant com
silage. This failure stems
from the clear dominance of
com m such a mixture.
The advent of 2-row silage
harvesters has made
possible planting these crops
m alternate rows. Research
with such a system m
Mississippi indicated that
only about % of the dry

matter still is soybean

method increased crude
protein content to 11.3%
crude protein compared to
10.5% on a dry matter basis
for interplanting. Whole
plant com silage contained
8.3% versus 17.3% for whole
plant soybean silage.
Smce soybean silage has
less energy content than
com silage, the mixed silage
contains considerably less
than com silage alone. Cows
ate 22% more dry matter
from the mixed silage, but
did not produce more milk
than those fed whole plant
com silage in a balanced
ration. Thus mixed plantings
do not offer much, if any,
advantage. Cultural
problems exist as well.
Some farmers may wish to
ensile soybeans that are not
expected to reach maturity
before killing frosts. The

UNIVERSITY PARK - Dr.
John W. White of Penn State
has received one of the top
national awards presented
annually for research in
floriculture.
Dr. White won the Alex
Laurie Award for Education
and Research from the
Foundation of Floriculture.
The occasion was the 95th
annual meeting of the
Society of American Florists
m San Francisco. He was
honored for advanced
research in physiology and
nutrition of floral crops.
A plant physiologist and
professor of floriculture at
Penn State, Dr. White has
been actively involved in
plant related research
throughout much of his
career.
In addition to research
involving physiology and
nutrition of floral crops, Dr.
White has done research
involving soil-water-plant
relationships; physical and
chemical characteristics of
media used for container
crops; irrigation systems for
container crops; structures
for greenhouse crops; plant
analysis and soil testing as
diagnostic tools; and effects
of growth regulators on
floncultural crops. His most

silage with a nutritive
content similar to good
alfalfa with the exception of
a somewhat lower energy
content (Ex. 54 vs 58% TDN)
on a dry matter basis. If the
beans are well-formed, they
also may consider ensiling
the whole plant soybeans
with whole plant com silage
on an alternate or split load
basis, preferably the latter.
A combination of hay-crop
and com silage also is
sometimes ensiled in this
manner.
It does not appear
economical on most markets
to grow soybeans for a
forage crop. In most cases it
is more economical to sell
the beans and purchase
other protein supplements,
including soybean oil meal.
Alfalfa or birdsfoot trefoil
are the crops of choice to
increase protein levels in
forage rations.

solar energy for

Dr. White received the
Garland Award of the
American Carnation Society
m 1970. The award is
presented annually to that
research worker, carnation
grower, or American
university person who has
contributed most
significantly to the carnation
industry.
He is a member of the
American Society for
Horticultural Science, the
Society of American
Florists, the Soil Science
Society of America, the
Amenan Society of
Agronomy, and the Penn
sylvania Flower Growers.
He is an honorary member
of the American Carnation
Society.
Dr. White is affiliated with
the honor societies of Sigma
Xi, Gamma Sigma Delta,
Phi Epsilon Phi, Phi Sigma,
Pi Alpha Xi, and Alpha Zeta.
