Biomass flows and defoliation pattern of ryegrass grazed by supplemented heifers

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017
To strategically define the best stocking rate management strategy for ryegrass, it is important to know the growth process of forage plants in detail. The study was conducted to analyze the leaf biomass flows and the defoliation intensity and frequency ...

Interval and intensity of defoliation on the growth, senescence and defoliation fluxes and equilibrium of associated grasses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
O experimento foi realizado no INRA (Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique) em Theix, França. Duas gramíneas (azevém perene e festuca)foram semeadas em caixas (0,13 m²) e submetidas a três intervalos (3,5, 7 e 14 dias) e três intensidades (160 ...

Linking drought strategy to climate‐of‐origin in a widespread C4 grass: hydraulic traits, xylem anatomy and stomatal behaviour in Themeda triandra

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Climate‐of‐origin of Themeda triandra populations used in this study. Summary Hydraulic, stomatal, and anatomical traits strongly influence plant performance under drought, but the extent to which these trait‐types are coordinated and relate to climate‐of‐origin remains vastly underexplored in herbaceous species relative to woody plants.

The classification of machines for vineyard defoliation in relation to production quality

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2008
Defoliation fulfilment in correct terms, range and intensity effects highly on conditions of bunches and quantity of their contentual matters. Due care reduction of foliar surface together with sunshine allows better access of air to the proximity of ...

Coupled decline in growth and fine‐branching signals the onset of drought‐induced European beech mortality

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Conceptual synthesis of drought‐induced mortality in European beech. Summary Severe and recurrent droughts have caused widespread canopy decline and mortality in European forests. Drought‐induced mortality occurs when structural damage and physiological dysfunction impair a tree's ability to recover, yet it remains unclear when trees transition from ...

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Grazing management strategies for massaigrass-forage peanut pastures: 2. productivity, utilization and sward structure Estratégias de manejo do pastejo para pastos consorciados de capim-massai e amendoim forrageiro: 2. produtividade, utilização e estrutura do pasto

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2006
This study was carried out to evaluate the productivity, utilization and sward structure of a mixed massaigrass (Panicum maximum x P. infestum, cv. Massai) and forage peanut (Arachis pintoi Ac 01) pasture, intermittently stocked at three daily herbage ...

Herbage utilisation efficiency of continuously stocked pastures during periods of restricted pasture growth

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2020
The aim of this study was to evaluate the defoliation patterns of individual tillers, efficiency of herbage utilisation, and forage production in continuously stocked Brachiaria humidicola cv. Comum swards during periods of the year of restricted pasture
