Grazing under Irrigation Affects N₂O-Emissions Substantially in South Africa

Atmosphere, 2020
Fertilized agricultural soils serve as a primary source of anthropogenic N2O emissions. In South Africa, there is a paucity of data on N2O emissions from fertilized, irrigated dairy-pasture systems and emission factors (EF) associated with the amount of ...

A PCA-random forest pipeline for high-resolution SNP-based cultivar discrimination in Leymus chinensis

BMC Plant Biology
Background Leymus chinensis (sheepgrass) is a key perennial forage grass for grassland restoration in northern China, but its complex genome and high genetic diversity hinder precise cultivar identification using traditional morphological methods. Recent

Evaluation of genetic divergence and heritability in pea (Pisum sativum L.) [PDF]

Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology, 2016
An experiment on genetic evaluation of five genotypes of forage pea (Glyans, Svit, Kamerton, Modus, Pleven 4) was conducted during 2012-2014 period. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for the traits pod width, seeds per ...

Assessing the Potential of Diverse Forage Mixtures to Reduce Enteric Methane Emissions In Vitro

Animals, 2021
Methane emissions from ruminants are a major contributor to agricultural greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, eight different forage species were combined in binary mixtures with Lolium perenne in increasing proportions, in vitro, to determine their methane ...

Fundamentals for forage crop breeding and seed production in Russia

Vavilov Journal of Genetics and Breeding, 2021
Plant breeding and seed production of new generation fodder crops is the groundwork for creating a fodder base for livestock production in sufficient quantities. The Federal Williams Research Center of Forage Production and Agroecology founded in 2018 based on of the All-Russia Williams Fodder Research Institute and other scientific institutions is the

Breeding potential of the field pea (Pisum sativum L.) cultivars and their progenies [PDF]

Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology, 2014
The inheritance and gene effects structure were investigated for ten quantitative traits in field cultivars by a full diallel model of four parents – the cultivars Kerpo, Pleven 10, Mir and EFB33.

Genetic analysis on some yield traits of pea (Pisum sativum L.) crosses [PDF]

Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology, 2015
The trial was carried during 2011-2013 on the second experimental field of the Institute of Forage Crops – Pleven, Bulgaria. Eight generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, RC1 and each reciprocal generation) from a cross between the Shtambovii and Pleven 10 ...
