Does harvesting Urochloa and Megathyrsus forages at short intervals confer an advantage on cumulative dry matter yields and quality? [PDF]

J Sci Food Agric, 2022
Abstract BACKGROUND Due to increasing demand for livestock products in sub‐Saharan Africa, increasing livestock productivity is a priority. The core constraint is limited availability of feed of good quality. We assessed optimal harvesting time of three improved grasses, two Urochloa lines (Basilisk a selection from wild population, Cayman – a hybrid ...

Machine Learning Techniques Associated With Infrared Thermography to Optimize the Diagnosis of Bovine Subclinical Mastitis. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Bovine subclinical mastitis (SCM) is the costliest disease for the dairy industry. Technologies aimed at the early diagnosis of this condition, such as infrared thermography (IRT), can be used to generate large amounts of data that provide valuable information when analyzed using learning techniques.

Belowground competition and niche partitioning between the Babassu palm and Urochloa grass in eastern Amazonian pastures

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Much of deforested Amazonia is dominated by pastures planted with exotic Urochloa (syn Brachiaria) grass, containing interspersed, ruderal Babassu palm (Attalea speciosa). This two‐species system offers the opportunity to investigate how two very competitive species interact.

Phenotyping of Urochloa humidicola grass hybrids for agronomic and environmental performance in the Piedmont region of the Orinoquian savannas of Colombia

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 78, Issue 1, Page 119-128, March 2023., 2023
Abstract In the low fertility acid soils of the Orinoquian savannas of Colombia, Urochloa humidicola cv. Tully or Humidicola is one of the most widely planted tropical forage grasses for improving livestock productivity. Low nutritional quality of this grass limits sustainable livestock production in this region.

Does amount of cut vegetal residue on the canopy influence growth and the structural characteristics of marandu palisadegrass?

Bioscience Journal, 2022
The pasture mowing in late winter removes the old forage, improving the pasture structure in spring and summer. However, the residue after mowing can affect tillering, thus limiting forage production and the structural characteristics of pasture.

Co‐Inoculation of Trichoderma asperellum with Bacillus subtilis to Promote Growth and Nutrient Absorption in Marandu Grass

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
The authors have investigated the effects of different doses of mineral fertilizers combined with co‐inoculation of Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma asperellum to promote plant growth and use efficient nutrients in a plant Urochloa (Syn. Brachiaria) brizantha cv. Marandu. Individual experiments with doses of the nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P),

Soil biota shift with land use change from pristine rainforest and Savannah (Cerrado) to agriculture in southern Amazonia

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 19, Page 4899-4912, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Southern Amazonia is currently experiencing extensive land use change from forests to agriculture caused by increased local and global demand for agricultural products. However, little is known about the impacts of deforestation and land use change on soil biota. We investigated two regions in southern Amazonia (rainforest and Savannah/Cerrado

Number and morphology of tiller age groups during summer in Marandu palisadegrass pastures previously used under deferred grazing

Bioscience Journal, 2020
The relative contribution of young, mature and old tillers in the canopy influences the production and structure of the pasture. The objective with this work was to evaluate the balance between tiller appearance and tiller death (BAL) during spring and ...

Contribution of corn intercropped with Brachiaria species to nutrient cycling

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2019
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 ...
