Habitat modifies the relationship between grass and herbivore species richness in a South African savanna

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
We show the relationship between grass and herbivore species richness. We suggest that the relationships between grasses and herbivores may work in both directions, but the relationship is habitat‐dependent, so that in less productive environments the effect of herbivores on vegetation prevails, while in more productive environments along rivers, the ...

In vitro gas production and in vivo nutrient digestibility and growth performance of Thai indigenous cattle fed fresh and conserved pangola grass

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2017
Fresh and conserved pangola grass (Digitaria eriantha Steud., synonym D. decumbens) were compared in terms of in vitro gas production and in vivo nutrient digestibility, metabolisable energy (ME) concentration and average daily gain (ADG) of Thai ...

Potential Use of Herbicide Seed Safener and Pre-Emergent Residual Herbicides When Establishing Tropical Perennial Grasses—A Preliminary Study

Seeds
Annual grass weeds can provide significant competition to an establishing sown tropical perennial grass pasture. At least two years of grass weed control prior to sowing is required to reduce the weed seed bank.

Beef Production from Digitaria eriantha Subsp. Eriantha in a Sub-Tropical Environment [PDF]

Digitaria eriantha subsp. eriantha, previously known as D. smutsii (Russel and Smook 1980), is a robust perennial grass adapted to a wide range of soils and climatic conditions. In Australia, the species has performed well on a number of sites with soils

The effect of form and level of nitrogen fertilization on the yield of Digitaria eriantha steud.

, 1987
On dryland Digitaria eriantha ammonium sulphate and limestone ammonium nitrate were superior to potassium nitrate and urea. With reference to the level of nitrogen fertilization it was found that levels in excess of 300 kg N/ha, and up to 400 kg N/ha ...

Fermentative attributes of wilted vs. unwilted Digitaria eriantha silage

South African Journal of Animal Science, 2007
Silages made from directly cut or wilted Digitaria eriantha treated with or without molasses were evaluated to determine fermentative characteristics. The grass was harvested at the boot stage of growth and the material was ensiled in 1 kg mini-silos. Treatments were arranged in a factorial design of two moisture levels (directly cut or wilted) and two
