The influence of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) on biodiversity in an arid Australian landscape
The Rangeland Journal, 2009Buffel grass [Cenchrus ciliaris L. syn. Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link] is an exotic species that has been widely planted in Australian arid and semi-arid grazing lands, and has become an important resource for livestock. It establishes readily and has expanded into such a diversity of land types beyond grazing lands that it is also regarded as a serious

Salinity response of cultivars of buffel grass ( Cenchrus ciliaris )
Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, 1970Five buffel grass cultivars were grown in solution culture at levels of 0.5, 40, 80, and 160 m. equiv. NaCl/l. Yields did not differ between cultivars at the highest level of NaCl, and the more productive cultivars under low salinity conditions, Tarewinnabar, Biloela, and American, suffered greatest potential yield reduction and accumulated highest ...

Growth and development of buffel grass ( Cenchrus ciliaris )
Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, 1968Buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris), an important subtropical forage species, was grown under a range of environmental conditions; growth and development were followed by a series of regular harvests. The rates of plant growth and development increased with increasing levels of solar radiation up to the highest levels received (approximately 700 cal/cm2 ...

Investigation of peroxidase genes and genetic transformation in buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris)
2023This project investigated a molecular strategy for the improvement of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) pastures with respect to digestibility. In other pasture plants, reduced lignin content has been associated with greater digestibility (Cherney et al, 1991).

Fire behaviour on engineered landforms stabilised with high biomass buffel grass
Ecological Engineering, 2017Rehabilitated lands created by open-cut coal mines are generally protected by land managers from fire and grazing disturbances. This practice is employed to reduce negative impacts, such as erosion, on the developing ecosystems. However, fire exclusion over long periods inadvertently contributes to increased fire risk on rehabilitated landforms ...

Intake and ingestive behavior of lambs fed diets containing ammoniated buffel grass hay
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2017This study aimed to evaluate the effect of diets with ammoniated buffel grass hay on the ingestive behavior of feedlot lambs. Thirty-two sheep of no defined breed with an average body weight of 17.7 ± 1.8 kg were used. A completely randomized design with four treatments (0, 18, 36, and 54 g/kg dry matter (DM) basis) and eight repetitions was used ...

Buffel Grass Economic Impact Assessment
Buffel grass is a fast-growing plant introduced to Australia to improve pasture productivity, especially in dry regions. However, it has become a serious environmental and cultural threat, particularly in Central Australia. It spreads rapidly, outcompetes native plants, increases fire risk, and damages culturally significant Aboriginal sites.openaire +1 more source
