Evaluation of three grass growth models to predict grass growth in Ireland [PDF]

The Journal of Agricultural Science, 2012
SUMMARYGrass growth in temperate regions is highly seasonal and difficult to predict. A model that can predict grass growth from week to week would offer a valuable management and budgeting tool for grassland farmers. Many grass growth models have been developed, varying from simple empirical to complex mechanistic models.

Evaluation of fusarioses in selected grass species [PDF]

Plant Protection Science, 2002
In the years 1999-2001 we observed the spread and harmful effects of pathogenic fungi causing the dying of some grass species in permanent grass growths. The most common and frequent cause of the dying (winter freezing injury) is the fungus Microdochium nivale known also as Fusarium nivale, or Gerlachia nivalis (imperfect stage) - snow mould.

Associative nitrogen fixation linked with three perennial bioenergy grasses in field and greenhouse experiments

GCB Bioenergy, 2020
Associative nitrogen (N2)‐fixation (ANF) by bacteria in the root‐zone of perennial bioenergy grasses has the potential to replace or supplement N fertilizer and support sustainable production of biomass, but its application in marginal ecosystems ...

Macro-Climatic Distribution Limits Show Both Niche Expansion and Niche Specialization among C4 Panicoids [PDF]

, 2016
Grasses are ancestrally tropical understory species whose current dominance in warm open habitats is linked to the evolution of C4 photosynthesis. C4 grasses maintain high rates of photosynthesis in warm and water stressed environments, and the syndrome ...
