Performance of Buffelgrass Germplasm with Improved Winter Survival

Agronomy Journal, 1996
AbstractLack of winter hardiness in buffelgrass [Cenchrus ciliaris L.; syn. Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link] currently limits the utilization of this species in Texas and northern Mexico. This study was conducted to assess differences in field survival and yield potential of buffelgrass germplasm believed to have increased levels of winter hardiness.

Facultative Apomixis in Buffelgrass¹

Crop Science, 1980
We studied embryo sac morphology, chromosome number, reproductive behavior, and phenotype of buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) line 18‐35 to obtain further evidence regarding the occurrence of facultative apomixis in the species. Line 18‐35 is an F1 llne derived from a cross of obligately sexual TAM‐CRD B‐Is with an apomictic plant from Africa. Within

Isolation of candidate genes for apomictic development in buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare)

Plant Molecular Biology, 2007
Asexual reproduction through seeds, or apomixis, is a process that holds much promise for agricultural advances. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying apomixis are currently poorly understood. To identify genes related to female gametophyte development in apomictic ovaries of buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link), Suppression Subtractive ...

Control of Ergot in Buffelgrass with Triadimefon

Plant Disease, 1991
The systemic fungicide triadimefon was tested for its ability ergot in buffelgrass at concentrations of 0.00375, 0.0075, or 0.015% a.i., applied at the rate of 1 L/80 cm 2 clump of grass, with spray application frequencies of twice per week, once per week, and once every 2 wk.

Buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris) Responses to Tebuthiuron

Weed Science, 1983
Tebuthiuron (N-[5-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-1,3,4-thiadiozol-2-yl]-N,N′-dimethylurea} pellets (20% ai) applied at 0.6, 1.1, or 2.2 kg ai/ha in the spring at two locations and in the fall at a third location on the South Texas Plains did not significantly decrease buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliarisL.

Response of Kleingrass and Buffelgrass to Herbicides¹

Agronomy Journal, 1980
AbstractKleingrass and buffelgrass are sometimes difficult to establish in the field from seeding because of poor seedling vigor and severe competition from weeds. Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the tolerance of kleingrass (Panicum coloratum L. ‘Selection 75’) and buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.

Silages in the form of diet based on spineless cactus and buffelgrass

African Journal of Range & Forage Science, 2018
This study was conducted to evaluate the fermentation pattern and the in situ dry matter degradability of silages in the form of diet. Five diets were formulated based on spineless cactus (Opuntia fícus-indica cv. ‘Gigante’) and buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris). The experimental design was completely randomised, with five treatments and three replicates

Spittlebug (Homoptera: Cercopidae) Life Cycle on Buffelgrass in Northwestern Mexico

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1995
The spittlebug, Aeneolamia albofasciata Lalleman, is the most economically important insect pest of buffelgrass pastures in Mexico. In 1984-1986 we studied the effect of climate on the life cycle of this insect in Sonora, Mexico, by monitoring spittlebug nymph and adult densities in relation to summer precipitation and maximum and minimum temperatures.

Evaluation of Herbicides for Restoring Native Grasses in Buffelgrass‐Dominated Grasslands

Restoration Ecology, 2007
Abstract Buffelgrass (Pennisetum ciliare) is an exotic grass that threatens arid and semiarid ecosystems. The objective of this study was to determine effectiveness of several herbicides at reducing competition from buffelgrass to enhance establishment of planted native grasses.
