The use of light-transparent acetate sheet to measure canopy height of marandu palisadegrass: the influence of development stage and sward height

Bioscience Journal, 2022
The use of light-transparent acetate sheet (LAS) may generate variations in the height measured in the sward. However, we compared the use or non-use of LAS to measure the average sward height of marandu palisadegrass (Urochloa brizantha syn.

Repeatability, Genetic Variability and Importance of Forage Traits in Ecotypes of Brunswickgrass (Paspalum nicorae Parodi) via BLUP

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 561-574, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study estimated the repeatability of forage traits in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes using six statistical methods and quantified the minimum number of harvests needed for effective selection. Multivariate analyses based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values were also performed to assess genetic variability, identify key traits ...

Stylosanthes cv. Campo Grande response to Bradyrhizobium inoculation in an Amazon Cerrado Oxisol

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
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.

Performance of Beef Cattle Under Grazing as Affected by Urochloa decumbens Cultivars

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
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 ...

Calibration and evaluation of a carbon net primary productivity module based on the SIMPLE model

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract This study presents the carbon net primary productivity (CNPP) module, an implementation of the simple generic crop model (SIMPLE model) that we have extended to predict aboveground and belowground biomass production and carbon assimilation. The goal for this module is to predict biomass inputs at and below the soil surface, during and at the ...

Twenty-five-centimeter pre-grazing canopy height in palisade grass and forage peanut

Scientia Agricola, 2021
: Short-term grazing behavior variables are sensitive to the canopy structure and have an impact on daily forage intake. This study evaluated the effect of pre- and post-grazing canopy heights on the forage harvesting process at a patch scale in a ...
