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 ...

Population structure and genetic diversity of Brachiaria grass (Urochloa spp.) accessions from the Democratic Republic of Congo using DArTseq single nucleotide polymorphism markers

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract Brachiaria grass (Urochloa spp.) is one of the key forage grasses utilized in sub‐Saharan Africa for improving livestock productivity, particularly in terms of milk production and feed sufficiency. Limited information on its genetic resources has hindered its breeding and conservation strategies.

Enhancing Phenotyping Accuracy for Selection of Urochloa spp. Tolerant Genotypes to Red Spider Mite (Oligonychus trichardti)

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 3, July-September 2025.
ABSTRACT The red spider mites are a major biotic limitation to productivity for Brachiaria (Urochloa spp.) grasses in tropical Eastern Africa, causing severe economic losses mainly in the dry seasons. However, due to the lack of reports of integrated pest management strategies, genetic resistance can play a crucial role in Brachiaria‐based livestock ...

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
