The research on the sodium bicarbonate solution cures the ryegrass hay
The Chongqing weather, with cloudy rainy and fog in the autumn and winter, relative humidities averaging 72%, and sometimes achieving 95% makes it very difficult to cure hay using only solar drying.Using sodium bicarbonate to destroy plant surface wax structure, promotes moisture evaporation from the plant, this increases the forage drying rate, reduces loss of leaf blades, and preserves forage nutritional value.This process also increases the leaf :stem ratio and improves smell of the hay.
