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.

Biology of Sourgrass and Its Competition with Buffelgrass and Guineagrass

Weed Science, 1977
Establishment and early growth characteristics were defined for sourgrass [Trichachne insularis(L.) Nees], one of the most serious pasture weeds in Hawaii. Optimum germination of sourgrass seeds was obtained in the light at 30 C or with alternating temperatures of 20 and 30 C or 25 and 35 C.

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

Climatic Effects on Buffelgrass Productivity in the Sonoran Desert

Journal of Range Management, 1995
Buffelgrass (Cenchrus cilaris L.), a perennial bunchgrass from northcentral Kenya has been successfully seeded on 400,000 ha in northwest Mexico. To determine if carrying capacity increased after buffelgrass introduction we measured live, recent-dead standing, old-dead standing and litter at 2-week intervals for three years.

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.

Further secondary metabolites produced by the fungus Pyricularia grisea isolated from buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris).

Chirality, 2020
The fungal pathogen Pyricularia grisea has been studied to evaluate its production of phytotoxins for the biocontrol of the buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) weed.

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
