Evaluation of Cenchrus Ciliaris Ecotypes for Seed Yield and Related Traits

XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023
Cenchrus ciliaris is widely promoted as a choice grass species for reseeding Arid and Semi- arid Lands (ASALs). Due to the high variability in ASAL environments, there is need to evaluate ecotypes of C. ciliaris with potentially higher seed yield and germination that may possibly be selected and promoted for rangeland reseeding initiatives.

Cytogeography of Cenchrus ciliaris (Poaceae) in Tunisia

Folia Geobotanica, 2012
Belonging to the genus Cenchrus with 16–22 species, Cenchrus ciliaris L. (syn. Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link, buffelgrass) is a perennial, common in warmer regions of both hemispheres, growing as a C4 grass in a wide range of habitats. In the present study we determined chromosome number and nuclear DNA content (2C DNA) for 28 natural populations ...

Population differences in Cenchrus ciliaris and Cenchrus setigerus

1993
Cenchrus ciliaris Linn. (Buffel or Anjan grass) and Cenchrus setigerus Vahl. (Blue bird grass) are found in dry sandy areas throughout Africa, including the Canary Islands, Madagascar, and eastward to India. In India, they occur mostly in the western states of Rajasthan, parts of Punjab, and Gujarat. In these areas, extensive grazing lands dominated by

Continuous grazing oncenchrus ciliaris

Proceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1979
Abstract Breeding cattle grazed Cenchrus ciliaris continuously for four years. Excellent calving percentages (mean 95,25%) and good weaning masses (mean 245 kg) were obtained, the A.D.G.’s being 0,963 kg for heifers and 1,075 kg for bulls. The system was planned to eliminate grazing management as a factor.

Enhanced somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration in Cenchrus ciliaris L.

In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Plant, 2021
A highly reproducible plant regeneration protocol through somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis has been developed for Cenchrus ciliaris. Three explants (seeds, shoot apices, and immature inflorescences) of four genotypes (IG-3108, IG-718, IG-74, and DBC15-8/32/10) were used for callus induction and plant regeneration.

Correlation and Path-Coefficient Analyses in Cenchrus Ciliaris L.

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1979
Correlations and path-coefficient botween fodder yield and yield components were estimated in 80 genotypes of Cenchrus ciliaris. Among the characters studied number of tillers. length and breadth of leaf, length and thickness of internode and height of clone were positively correlated with fodder yield. Path-coefficient analysis revealed that number of

Climatic factors in the distribution of Cenchrus ciliaris ecotypes

1993
The main aim of the present investigations was to critically examine if the magnitude of morphological variabilities of Cenchrus ciliaris and Cenchrus setigerus, can segregate populations of the two grasses in western India, and to evaluate environmental factors correlated with this segregation.

SEED STORAGE STUDIES IN CLONES OF CENCHRUS CILIARIS LINN

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1986
Seed storage studies conducted ambinent conditions with three exotic clones FS 3108, FS 339 and Anjan and one local revealed significant clonal differences in the period of seed dormancy, germination and seedling vigour. Exotic Clone Anjan recorded the highest germination of 89.0% after 12 months of storage, while the local, the lowest of 40.0% after ...

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.
