Associative diazotrophic bacteria and forage legumes sustain brachiariagrass pasture performance through enhanced root traits

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Interest in microbial plant growth‐promoting processes, particularly biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF), has increased globally as a strategic alternative to mineral N fertilization. Understanding the response of root traits to diverse N sources plays a critical role in unraveling canopy dynamics and improving decision‐making in forage ...

Plant growth‐ promoting bacteria inoculation and co‐inoculation effects on Palisade grass (Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu) in ferralsol in Amazonas State, Brazil

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Deforestation is primarily driven by three main factors the conversion of the Amazon rainforest into pastureland, agriculture, and mining, as well as land invasion. These pastures are mostly degraded, and it is necessary to restore their productive capacity. Microbial inoculants can be used to increase nutrient use efficiency. The objective of

Cover crops and nitrogen rates: Impacts on no‐till corn and soil health in Louisiana

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Use of cover cropping systems to improve soil health is still limited in Louisiana. This study aimed to examine the interaction between cover crops and nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates on crop yield, soil chemical, and biological properties. Winter cover crop treatments, including legumes, a grass and brassica, and a fallow control, were combined

Boron in the phytotechnical, reproductive, and seed production components of hybrid Brachiaria (Brachiaria brizantha x Brachiaria ruziziensis) BRS RB331 Ipyporã

Revista de Ciências Agrárias, 2022
Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos do boro em diferentes doses e épocas de aplicação na BRS RB331 Ipyporã. Foram conduzidos dois ensaios em vasos, a céu aberto, safra 2016/17. Em ambos os ensaios os tratamentos foram representados por quatro doses de boro e duas épocas de aplicação mais um tratamento controle (4x2+1), delineados em blocos casualizados, em

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 ...

Management of Brachiaria ruziziensis biomass affects soybean productivity in integrated crop-livestock system

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
The use of Brachiaria ruziziensis as a cover crop in integrated crop-livestock systems is consolidated, promoting changes in the structuring and protection of the soil surface, with greater nutrient cycling, resulting in increased grain yield.

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.
