The Monocrotaline Model of Hypertension Leads to Cachexia in Male but Not Female Mice
ABSTRACT Background The monocrotaline (MCT) model of cardiac cachexia is a pharmaceutical approach to pulmonary hypertension that has been used to study heart failure and muscle wasting in rodents; however, little is known of how this pyrrolizidine alkaloid leads to peripheral changes in organ function and body mass, and sex differences have not been ...

Crotalaria spectabilis Toxicity in Chickens.
SummaryConcentrations of 0.05% to 5% Crotalaria spectabilis seed were fed to chicks. All concentrations of the legume were shown to be toxic. Concentrations in excess of 0.3% produced death in all birds within 18 days. When less than 0.2% was fed there was a marked reduction in weight gain.

Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks
Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. Zeus Mateos‐Fierro*, Ashley Leach, Ian Kaplan. Spider mite and melon aphid outbreaks are enhanced with broad‐spectrum insecticides, while natural enemies are reduced. However, rye cover crop has little effect on either pest or natural enemy populations.

Acúmulo e liberação de P, K, Ca e Mg em crotalária e milheto solteiros e consorciados
As características das leguminosas e gramíneas usadas como plantas de cobertura são bastante conhecidas, mas a velocidade com que os nutrientes associados à biomassa vegetal tornam-se disponíveis às culturas é ainda pouco estudada.

Abstract The transition from conventional to more regenerative cropping systems can be economically risky due to variable transition period yields and unforeseen costs. We compared yields and economic returns for the first 3 years of the transition from a business as usual (BAU) conventional corn (Zea mays)–soybean (Glycine max) rotation to an ...

We examined whether seeding rates and soil types affected the number, growth and survival of new seedlings of wiregrass (Aristida beyrichiana). We sowed seeds from wet and dry sites on wet and dry soils at three seeding rates. In the first year of restoration, the number of seedlings per plot was greatest at the highest seeding rate, and seedlings from

Carbon and nitrogen release from cover crop roots is poorly predicted by their chemical composition
Abstract Root‐derived carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) release in relation to chemical composition has rarely been quantified in field studies. The objectives of this study were to evaluate C and N release from six summer cover crop roots and to correlate it with their chemical composition. Root decomposition and N release from velvet bean (Mucuna aterrima),
