Contribution of corn intercropped with Brachiaria species to nutrient cycling
The corn biomass and nutrient dynamics may be altered when it is intercropped with Brachiaria (syn. Urochloa spp.). The present study aimed to investigate the dynamics of biomass, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for farming systems that ...

Stylosanthes cv. Campo Grande response to Bradyrhizobium inoculation in an Amazon Cerrado Oxisol
Abstract Species of the genus Stylosanthes show great potential for use in mixed pastures and as green manure due to their symbiotic potential in symbiosis with diazotrophic bacteria, particularly Bradyrhizobium. These herbaceous legumes can improve pasture quality and contribute to sustainability.

ABSTRACT Scrotal circumference (SC) is a key reproductive indicator in beef cattle and an important predictor of male puberty and correlated female fertility. In this study, we evaluated young Nellore bulls raised under combinations of pasture and feedlot environments and modeled SC using a “double” reaction norm model. Additive genetic variance for SC

Urochloa species are widely used in silvopastoral systems (SPS), but production losses highlight the need for more productive forages. This study evaluated agronomic, physiological, chemical composition, and in vitro digestibility responses of Urochloa brizantha cv. Piatã and Megathyrsus maximus cvs.

Performance of Beef Cattle Under Grazing as Affected by Urochloa decumbens Cultivars
ABSTRACT Testing animal performance under grazing is fundamental to determine the potential of recently released, high‐yielding Urochloa decumbens hybrids. The objective was to evaluate the weight gain of young bulls grazing on pastures of U. decumbens cultivars Basilisk, BRS Carinás, and BRS Poraitê, as well as to assess the nutritive value and plant ...
