Impurities in alfalfa seed and their impact on processing technology [PDF]

open access: yesJournal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2012
The aim of this research was to determine relevant parameters and optimal alfalfa seed processing technology by a comparative analysis of two systems of machinery for processing natural alfalfa seed of different purity (59.0% and 71.0%) and with ...

Effect of bacterial inoculants application and seeding rate on common vetch-oat silage quality [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2018
The experiment was carried out to evaluate the possibility of ensiling common vetch - oat mixtures sown at five different seeding rates. Two effects were studied: seeding rate of common vetch and oat in the mixtures and application of bacterial inoculant.

Forage quality declines with rising temperatures, with implications for livestock production and methane emissions

open access: yes, 2016
. Livestock numbers are increasing to supply the growing demand for meat-rich diets. The sustainability of this trend has been questioned, and future environmental changes, such as climate change, may cause some regions to become less suitable for ...

Grain quality of maize inbred lines originated from local populations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2014
Evaluation of seed quality was done from seeds of inbred lines originated from local maize populations of Eastern Serbia. Following parameters were investigated: 1000 seed weight, dry matter content, protein content and lysine content.

Synergistic effects of grass competition and insect herbivory on the weed Rumex obtusifolius in an inundative biocontrol approach

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Outcomes of weed biological control projects are highly variable, but a mechanistic understanding of how top-down and bottom-up factors influence the success of weed biological control is often lacking.

Pathogen and drought stress affect cell wall and phytohormone signaling to shape host responses in a sorghum COMT bmr12 mutant

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background As effects of global climate change intensify, the interaction of biotic and abiotic stresses increasingly threatens current agricultural practices. The secondary cell wall is a vanguard of resistance to these stresses.

Finite population effects on optimal communication for social foragers [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Foraging is crucial for animals to survive. Many species forage in groups, as individuals communicate to share information about the location of available resources. For example, eusocial foragers, such as honey bees and many ants, recruit members from their central hive or nest to a known foraging site.

Common vetch (Vicia sativa) multi-podded mutants for enhanced commercial seed production

open access: yesТруды по прикладной ботанике, генетике и селекции, 2019
In comparison to other annual forage legumes, such as pea (Pisum sativum L.), advances in breeding vetches (Vicia spp.) are rather modest. One of the main obstacles in increasing the cultivation area under vetches is uncertain seed production, mostly due

Ecophysiology of C4 Forage Grasses—Understanding Plant Growth for Optimising Their Use and Management

open access: yes, 2015
Grazing management has been the focus of the research with forage plants in Brazil for many years. Only in the last two decades, however, significant changes and advances have occurred regarding the understanding of the key factors and processes that ...
