Maize and sorghum root growth and yield when intercropped with forage grasses
Abstract Integrated crop–livestock systems that intercrop forage crops with grain crops are effective for increasing forage production and improving nutrient cycling and soil health. However, the potential for root competition when maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] are intercropped with forages in sandy soils is unknown. The

Core Ideas Grassland is a widespread agroecosystem in the globe; however, not enough attention has been given to link grazing management to soil health. Grazing management practices greatly impact soil quality. Moderate stocking rate are more adequate to keep grassland stability.

The genotype does not influence the establishment of elephantgrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.)
This study investigated whether genotype influences the establishment of Pennisetum purpureum Schumach. The experimental design was a randomized complete blocks with four treatments and eight replications (n=8). The treatments were four genotypes of P. purpureum, two classified as tall sizes: P. purpureum cv. Elephant B and cv.

Elephantgrasses were introduced from Africa to the U.S. in the early 1900s, with dwarf varieties like Mott emerging in the 1940s and 1970s. Mott elephantgrass reaches 5–6 feet in height, making it more manageable than taller types. It boasts high forage quality with 12%–14% crude protein and 65%–70% digestibility when properly fertilized.

Impediments to Hybridization between Napiergrass and different Pennisetum Species
Napiergrass [Pennisetum purpureum (Schum.) Morrone] is a robust, perennial, warm‐season grass that grows throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Some genotypes have sufficient winter hardiness to survive winters in the Gulf Coast region of the United States.

Abstract Second‐generation biofuels and bio‐based products derived from lignocellulosic biomass are likely to replace current fuels derived from simple sugars and starch because of greater yield potential and less competition with food production. Besides the high aboveground biomass production, these bioenergy grasses also exhibit extensive root ...

Leather Industry Solid Waste as Nitrogen Source for Growth of Common Bean Plants
The leather industry generates large amounts of a Cr‐containing solid waste (wet blue leather). This material is classified by the Brazilian Environmental Council as a category‐one waste, requiring a special disposal. The patented process Br n. PI 001538 is a technique to remove chromium from wet blue leather, with the recovery of a solid collagenic ...
