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

open access: yesGrass 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 ...

Late Stages of Tropical Silvopastoral System: An Opportunity to Maximise Forage and Animal Production

open access: yesGrass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 3, July-September 2025.
ABSTRACT Silvopastoral systems (SPS) integrate pasture, trees, and animals in the same area and are alternatives for sustainable pasture intensification. We aimed to test whether, in the late stages of an SPS, with large but sparsely distributed trees (83 trees ha−1), forage and animal productivity are comparable to a full sun pasture (FS) over an ...

Disturbances in drylands: Interactions among herbivory, drought, and termite activity in savanna plant communities

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1491-1503, June 2025.
This study highlights the potency of top‐down forcing in African 73 savannas. It suggests impressive robustness to drought and underscores the 74 value of multi‐decadal experiments for studying interactions among multiple 75 drivers of ecosystem dynamics. Abstract Climate models predict increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme‐weather events.

Synthesis, function, and genetic variation of sorgoleone, the major biological nitrification inhibitor in sorghum

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 65, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Sorghum is the third most important food crop, grown on nearly 40 million ha globally, and is known for its resilience under unfavorable conditions. Sorghum is reported to have a strong biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) capacity in root systems, a plant function that suppresses soil nitrifier activity, which in turn prevents the ...

Megaherbivores suppress precipitation‐driven plant irruptions in a tropical savanna

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Irruptions in plant and animal populations are not uncommon, but the factors underlying irruptions are rarely explored quantitatively. In addition, it has been suggested that these irruptions may be reduced by predators or herbivores, but there is a paucity of controlled experimental evidence.
