Axillary bud viability and dry matter production of Poa ligularis in Patagonian grasslands [PDF]

, 2004
Poa ligularis Nees is one of the dominant perennial grass species in Patagonian grasslands. This is the first field study which investigated the effects of defoliation frequency on its number of viable axillary buds, and subsequent dry matter production ...

Sensitivity to demethylation‐inhibiting fungicides and induced expression of CYP51 associated with tebuconazole resistance in Alternaria species on mandarin in Brazil

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3663-3676, April 2026.
Tebuconazole‐resistant isolates overexpress CYP51 and, when tested at field rates, did not reduce ABS severity, whereas difenoconazole and mefentrifluconazole remained effective. Abstract BACKGROUND Alternaria brown spot (ABS), caused by Alternaria spp., is an important disease affecting mandarin production in several citrus‐growing regions worldwide ...

Forage Production and Sward Structure Dynamics of Tall Fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) Pasture Grazed to Different Sward Heights

Agronomy
Sward structure and post-grazing heights (SH) significantly influence plant growth and animal intake, crucial for dairy grazing systems. However, these interactions are dynamic and vary with season, resource heterogeneity, and defoliation patterns ...

Management recommendations [PDF]

The acute succession problem justifies an opportunistic use of all suitable methods on the short-term (10 years). The ban on winter burning should be (temporally) lifted.

The post‐fire recovery of soil seed banks along a fire severity gradient in an Australian threatened mesic forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 939-955, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change has increased the likelihood of extreme events, increasing the number of days with dangerous fire weather conditions, resulting in fires with increased severity, frequency and extent.

Performance of Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda Reared on Various Horticultural Crops

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 309-320, April 2026.
The developmental performance and reproductive success of the Australian population of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) were evaluated on five horticultural crops under laboratory conditions. Sweetcorn and bean supported rapid development, lower mortality, and higher fecundity (good performance); whereas capsicum, strawberry, and okra resulted in ...

Larval parasitism of the autumnal moth reduces feeding intensity on the mountain birch [PDF]

, 2013
Plants respond to grazing by herbivorous insects by emitting a range of volatile organic compounds, which attract parasitoids to their insect hosts. However, a positive outcome for the host plant is a necessary precondition for making the attraction ...

The role of habitat simplification and seasonality in shaping interactions between ants, plants and herbivores in a neotropical savanna

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 381-394, April 2026.
We evaluated how chronic anthropogenic disturbances (CAD) and seasonal variation influence interactions between ants and plants with extrafloral nectaries (EFN's), with emphasis on the responses of ants, herbivores, and plants. Ant and herbivore diversity remained stable across seasons in the preserved cerrado, whereas the pasture had higher ant ...

Performance of Beef Cattle Under Grazing as Affected by Urochloa decumbens Cultivars

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
ABSTRACT Testing animal performance under grazing is fundamental to determine the potential of recently released, high‐yielding Urochloa decumbens hybrids. The objective was to evaluate the weight gain of young bulls grazing on pastures of U. decumbens cultivars Basilisk, BRS Carinás, and BRS Poraitê, as well as to assess the nutritive value and plant ...

The effect of grazing pressure on rotationally grazed pastures in spring/early summer on subsequent sward characteristics [PDF]

, 2007
peer-reviewedTwo experiments (E1 and E2) were carried out to examine the effect of grazing pressure (GP) in the early part of the grazing season on subsequent sward composition.
