Effect of Heat Stress on Growth and Physiological Traits of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and a Comprehensive Evaluation for Heat Tolerance

Agronomy, 2019
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is a valuable forage legume, but its production is largely affected by high temperature. In this study, we investigated the effect of heat stress on 15 alfalfa cultivars to identify heat-tolerant and -sensitive cultivars ...

Economic Footprint of Alberta's Irrigation Districts: An Economic Impact Analysis

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Irrigation development can be an effective economic force for agricultural production, regional development and urban and rural community development. This study estimated the societal economic footprint of the Irrigation Districts on the economy in Alberta, Canada, via a variety of economic impact analysis models.

Concurrent Response of Soybean to Fixed (Full and Limited) and Variable Rate Irrigation Management in Three Soil Types: II. Growth, Yield, Evapotranspiration and Water Productivity

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soybean growth, yield, crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop water use efficiency (CWUE or crop water productivity, CWP) under different irrigation levels in three different soil types in the same field were investigated concurrently. Treatments in each soil type were: (i) variable rate irrigation (VRI), (ii) fixed rate full irrigation (FR‐1″)

Effect of Replacing Alfalfa Hay with Alfalfa Silage in High Performance Dairy Cattle Diets

پژوهشهای علوم دامی ایران, 2014
Four-handed fifty lactating Holstein cows with mean body weight of, 597± 40 and 50±20 and days in milk body Condi from sure of 3.1±0.4 were blocked by parity and randomly assigned to 3 treatments. Each treatment had 3 pens and each pen had 50 cows.

Effects of ferulic acid esterase-producing Lactobacillus fermentum and cellulase additives on the fermentation quality and microbial community of alfalfa silage

PeerJ, 2019
Background Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is an important forage material widely used for animal feed production. Ensiling is an effective method for preserving alfalfa, but it has shown some limitations in the production of high-quality alfalfa silage due to

Evaluation of Different Fall Dormancy-Rating Alfalfa Cultivars for Forage Yield in a Semiarid Environment

, 2020
Alfalfa is one of the most important, nutritive, and high yielding forage legumes planted across the US. Fall dormancy in alfalfa influences forage yield characteristics and the plants persistence mostly under the cold and temperate climate.

Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances in agricultural systems: Human dietary exposure via beef raised on corn stover from a field with contaminated biosolids

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biosolid‐amended soils can transfer and accumulate in crops, cattle, and people. Bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) are often applied to estimate the transfer of contaminants from soil to crops. However, they can vary widely and introduce uncertainty to exposure and risk estimates. We, therefore, aimed

Swift microbiome‐mediated phenotype transfer from transgenic plants

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The expression of an organism's genes determines its own characteristics in any given environment. In this study, we demonstrate that the phenotypic traits of genetically modified transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants, designed for nutrient efficiency and enhanced yield, can be naturally and readily transferred to neighboring wild‐type plants.
