The influence of the availability of nutrients and defoliation management on the production of Digitaria eriantha variety eriantha.

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Range and Forage Science, 2007
The influence of different levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) on the growth and quality of Digitaria eriantha var. eriantha was determined in sand culture. The highest production was achieved when N was available at 105 mg/1, P at 24 mg/1 and K at 150 mg/1.

Effect of sowing depth and soil conditions on the germination of Digitaria eriantha subsp. eriantha (=D. smutsii).

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Range and Forage Science, 1981
The viability of D. eriantha subsp. eriantha (=D. smutsii) seed is generally experienced to be very low, which often results in poor establishment in this grass. The effect of different external factors on the germination of this species was investigated.

Short Communication:The control of Amaranthus spp. and the influence thereof on Digitaria eriantha during the season of establishment.

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Range and Forage Science, 1989
Chemical control of Amaranthus spp. in newly established Smuts finger grass (D. eriantha) was investigated. A mixture of 800 ml 2, 4-d Amine + 1200 ml Atrazine per ha was applied. This treatment produced a total yield of 6, 1 t/ha of which 4, 6 t/ha (75, 4%) consisted of Smuts finger grass. The rest were weeds.

Fermentative characteristics of Digitaria eriantha subsp. eriantha silage harvested at different stages of maturity

African Journal of Range & Forage Science, 2008
An experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of stage of growth at harvest on fermentative characteristics of Digitaria eriantha subsp. eriantha silage. The treatment included three different growth stages (early vegetative, boot stage and full-bloom stage). The materials were ensiled either directly (unwilted) or after wilting for a period

The performance of beef cows on Digitaria eriantha silage

Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1990
Digitaria eriantha silage, ensiled when the plants were in the late flowering stage (March), was fed ad lib to mature, non‐pregnant, dry Hereford cows from mid‐May to mid‐September. The average daily gain during a 98‐day feeding period was 0,35 kg/cow.

In vitroregeneration ofDigitaria eriantha

Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1988
Embryogenic callus was obtained from immature regions of the leaf of Digitaria eriantha when grown in the dark on a MS medium supplement with 1, 0 or 2, 0 mg/dm 3, 2, 4D and 3-9% sucrose. Plantlet regeneration occurred when the calli were transferred to MS medium containing 0, 1 mg/dm 3, 2, 4-D and 7-8% sucrose, and placed under 16 hour photoperiod ...

The effect of nitrogen on the development and photosynthetic activity ofdigitaria erianthasteud. subsp.eriantha

Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1984
Abstract Digitaria eriantha Steud. subsp. eriantha, plants were grown under controlled conditions and treated with different concentrations and forms of nitrogen. The plants showed a preference for nitrate nitrogen, as opposed to ammonium nitrogen, with greater total dry matter production and leaf areas being recorded.
