Nesting and Habitat Characteristics of White-Browed Sparrow-Weavers (<i>Plocepasser mahali</i>, Smith) at Chemeron, Baringo South, Kenya. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
. ABSTRACT Arid and semi‐arid lands (ASALs) support tropical wooded shrublands and grasslands that sustain a diverse array of flora and fauna, including specialized avian communities. However, as the demand for food, fuel, and other natural resources intensifies, these inherently fragile ecosystems face mounting pressure, resulting in significant ...

Transcriptomic Insights: Phytogenic Modulation of Buffel Grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) Seedling Emergence. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
This study explores the impact of a novel phytogenic product containing citric acid, carvacrol, and cinnamaldehyde on buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) seedling emergence. A dilution series of the phytogenic solution revealed a concentration range that promoted seedling emergence, with an optimal concentration of 0.5%.

Assessing genotypes of buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) as an alternative to maize silage for sheep nutrition. [PDF]

PLoS One
Nutritive value of five Cenchrus ciliaris (buffel grass) genotypes (IG96-50, IG96-96, IG96-358, IG96-401 and IG96-403) weredetermined. Their sugar contents (>70 mg/g of dry matter) and ensiling potential were evaluated using in vitro batch culture and in vivo studies.

Germination and vigor of buffel grass seeds stored in environmental conditions

Revista em Agronegócio e Meio Ambiente, 2022
One of the main limitations for the cultivation of forages refers to seed dormancy, which can compromise the emergence of seedlings in the field and the establishment of pastures. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the germination and vigor of buffel grass seeds cv. Aridus stored under environmental conditions.
