Utilising leaf number as an indicator for defoliation to restrict stem growth in rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) cv. Callide [PDF]
A plot experiment examined the yield response of a nitrogen-fertilised rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) sward to defoliation using the production of a set number of leaves after the last defoliation as the indication for defoliation harvesting. Two factors,

Environmental Impact of Silicic Magmatism in Large Igneous Province Events
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Field performance of MON 94637 and laboratory evidence supporting a Bt pyramiding strategy against key lepidopteran pests in Brazil. [PDF]
A genetically modified soybean expressing multiple Cry proteins protects against key lepidopteran pests, consistently reducing larval damage and offering an effective resistance management option for soybean production in Brazil. Abstract BACKGROUND Pyramided Bt genes in crops have been widely adopted to delay insect resistance evolution worldwide. The

Root production in a subtropical pasture is mediated by cultivar identity and defoliation severity
Grasslands occupy significant land area and account for a large proportion of the global soil carbon stocks, yet the direct effects of grazing and genotypic composition on relationships between shoot and root production are poorly resolved.
