Photosensitization by Brachiaria ruziziensis in a sheep herd

Toxicon, 2020
Some species of the genus Brachiaria are cultivated worldwide in tropical and subtropical climate regions as the main feed for ruminants. Several studies report photosensitization by Brachiaria decumbens, Brachiaria brizantha, and Brachiaria humidicola, but the poisoning by Brachiaria ruziziensis have been reported only twice.

CHLOROPHYLL FLUORESCENCE IN Brachiaria decumbens AND Brachiaria ruziziensis SUBMITTED TO HERBICIDES [PDF]

Planta Daninha, 2017
ABSTRACT Different doses of herbicides can promote a differentiated physiological response in grasses of the same genus. This study has been proposed in order to evaluate physiological responses of B. ruziziensis and B. decumbens submitted to glyphosate and fluazifop-p-butyl. Treatments were distributed in a 2 x 6 factorial design with five repetitions,

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.

Nutritive value of improved populations Brachiaria ruziziensis

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2020
A low number of Brachiaria ruziziensis (Syn. Urochloa) cultivars available on the market and a lack of information about its forage potential have made it difficult to expand its cultivated area, and have therefore made it necessary to implement a breeding program for this species.

Reniform nematode impact on cotton growth and management strategies: A review

Agronomy Journal, Volume 115, Issue 5, Page 2140-2158, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Rotylenchulus reniformis Linford and Oliveira (reniform nematode) infestation has been a concerning issue in the Cotton Belt region of the United States for the past decade. Reniform nematode damage is more evident on cotton compared to other row crops in US Mid‐South because they share common edaphic conditions to sustain and develop.

Integrating multiple soil management practices: A system‐wide approach for restoring degraded soil and improving Brachiaria productivity

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 6, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Land degradation has severely affected soil health and agricultural productivity in the Sasiga district of western Oromiya, Ethiopia, demanding urgent and extensive solutions. Integrated soil management in particular is a comprehensive approach that could mitigate the multifaceted effects of land degradation.

Nutritive value of forages consumed by ruminants during the dry season in the Western Highlands of Cameroon

Grassland Research, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 112-119, June 2023., 2023
The design of a database on available forage resources can be very useful to improve the zootechnical performance of ruminants. Abstract Background In the Western Highlands of Cameroon (WHC), information on the nutritional value of fodder species consumed by ruminants is very limited. Methods Through interviews with farmers and monitoring of animals on

Infiltração de água no solo sob escarificação e rotação de culturas Water infiltration in soil as influenced by chiseling and crop rotations

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2010
Nos solos com restrições físicas e, ou, físico-hídricas ao crescimento de raízes, aumentar o potencial de armazenagem de água por meio de melhorias na infiltração pode ser uma estratégia viável para aumento da produtividade das culturas.
