Structural and productive responses of signalgrass and its association with leaf area index and light interception under silvopastoral or monoculture systems

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract Silvopastoral systems (SPSs) have emerged as one of the most prominent alternatives for grassland recovery. We evaluated the structural and productive responses of signalgrass [Urochloa decumbens (Stapf.) R. D. Webster] and its association with leaf area index (LAI) and light interception (LI) measured with different equipment across different

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.

Farming cattle in the tropics: Transnational science and industrializing pastures in Brazil

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page 1060-1069, September 2024.
Society is increasingly concerned over the environmental impact of diets. Much of this concern is over the environmentally destructive nature of meat production, especially beef and especially in the Amazon. This article aims to understand the production of beef in Brazil through the understudied perspective of forage grasses.

Homecoming of Brachiaria: improved hybrids prove useful for African animal agriculture [PDF]

, 2014
Species of the genus Brachiaria originate primarily from Africa, where they are constituents of natural grasslands. Due to their adaptation to acidic, low-fertility soils, millions of hectares of Brachiaria species have been sown as improved pastures in ...

The effect of cutting regime and genotype on growth, seed yield, seed quality and herbage yield of seven Urochloa (syn. Brachiaria) grass genotypes in the Adamawa region of Cameroon

Grassland Science, Volume 70, Issue 2, Page 77-92, April 2024.
Abstract The performance of seven Urochloa grass genotypes (three worldwide cultivars cv. Basilisk, cv. Piata, cv. Xaraes and four landrace cv. Adamaoua1, cv. Adamaoua2, cv. North1 and cv. North2) subjected to two cutting regimes (mid‐June cut and mid‐July cut) was evaluated for regrowth characteristics, seed yields, seed quality and herbage production

Valor nutritivo de populações melhoradas de Brachiaria ruziziensis

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2020
O reduzido número de cultivares de Brachiaria ruziziensis (Syn. Urochloa) disponíveis no mercado, a ausência de informações sobre seu potencial forrageiro que vem dificultando a expansão de sua área cultivada tornaram necessário a implantação de um programa de melhoramento genético desta espécie.

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,
