Using Winter Rye as Forage in Corn Silage Systems [PDF]
, 2017 Producing sufficient high quality forage throughout the year is becoming difficult given current economic and environmental pressures. Farmers are looking for strategies to improve yield and quality of their own forage to reduce the financial burden of ...

Lifetime of a greedy forager with long-range smell [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We study a greedy forager who consumes food throughout a region. If the forager does not eat any food for $S$ time steps it dies. We assume that the forager moves preferentially in the direction of greatest smell of food. Each food item in a given direction contributes towards the total smell of food in that direction, however the smell of any ...

Variation in allelopathic tolerance of vetch cultivars to Sorghum halepense L. (Pers.) extracts [PDF]
Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2018 Using allelopathic tolerance of crops and cultivars is considered a promising supplement to weed control strategies. In order to evaluate the allelopathic tolerance of vetch cultivars to Sorghum halepense extracts in germination and initial growth of the

Potential economic gains from using forage legumes in organic livestock systems in northern Europe [PDF]
, 2002 This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference of the Colloquium of Organic Researchers (COR). Forage legumes, with their ability to fix nitrogen biologically, seem especially attractive for organic livestock production.

Climate Change Mitigation in the Dairy Sector: Uncovering Heterogeneity Through Eco‐Efficiency Clubs
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Combining climate change goals with economic targets is crucial for the dairy sector, which is a significant contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide. In this paper, we assess economic and climate change implications of dairy production with panel data of Irish dairy farms from 2013 to 2021.

Normative theory of patch foraging decisions [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Foraging is a fundamental behavior as animals' search for food is crucial for their survival. Patch leaving is a canonical foraging behavior, but classic theoretical conceptions of patch leaving decisions lack some key naturalistic details. Optimal foraging theory provides general rules for when an animal should leave a patch, but does not provide ...
