Response of cereals to intercropping with non‐food crops in tropical and subtropical regions: A meta‐analysis

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Intercropping cereals with non‐food intercrops (NFICs) provides a means to enhance cereal productivity while providing additional benefits such as improved soil health or forage production. We conducted a meta‐analysis to investigate the effect of NFICs on cereal yields, cereal nitrogen uptake, and striga (Striga spp.) infestation, using 874 ...

Selection of sorghum and brachiaria cultivars in intercropping for straw and grains production

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2015
The sorghum and brachiaria intercropping shows potential to produce grains and straw. However, few studies have been made to select cultivars for the intercropping conditions, in off-season cultivation, at Central-West region of Brazil.

Evaluating the Adapt‐N model for dynamic nitrogen recommendation in Brazilian maize (Zea mays L.) systems

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Several nitrogen rate recommendation methods have been developed to help farmers fertilize close to the economic optimum N rate (EONR). The objectives of this study were to (i) evaluate a dynamic method (Adapt‐N) for N rate recommendations for maize (Zea mays L.) in Brazil relative to EONRs determined specifically for each trial and (ii ...

Effects of nitrogen fertilizer rate on dry matter yield, nutritive values and nitrate nitrogen of Guineagrass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) extremely late cultivar “Umaku” as a summer annual grass in a warm temperate zone

Grassland Science, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 151-160, April 2026.
Abstract Cultivation as a summer annual grass in temperate regions of new extremely late‐maturing guineagrass cultivar “Umaku” without heading with fertilizer application entails risks of toxic nitrate nitrogen (nitrate‐N) concentration in the grass.

Plant Growth‐Promoting Rhizobacteria Impacting Forage Mass of Urochloa ruziziensis and Megathyrsus maximus: A Reliable New Strategy for Tropical Pastures

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, January-March 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is known for its extensive livestock production in pastures, supporting the world's second‐largest herd of cattle and being the leading beef exporter. However, livestock farming in Brazil has frequently been associated with soil degradation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Acúmulo de macronutrientes e decomposição da palhada de braquiárias em razão da adubação nitrogenada durante e após o consórcio com a cultura do milho

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2014
Em regiões de clima tropical, as principais limitações na manutenção de palhada na superfície do solo são a dificuldade de sua implantação e as suas elevadas taxas de decomposição. Visando identificar o potencial produtivo dos capins xaraés e ruziziensis,

Evaluation of Three Urochloa Hybrid Cultivars in Different Agroecological Zones of the South‐Kivu and Tanganyika Provinces, Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo

Advances in Agriculture, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), feed scarcity is listed among the challenges constraining livestock production. This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance and farmer preference of three hybrid Urochloa cultivars (Cayman, Cobra, and Mulato‐II) and the local Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana Kunth) in South‐Kivu and ...
