Determining the Effect of Planting Date and Land Preparation Method on Seedling Emergence, Forage Mass, and Forage Nutritive Value of Forage Brassica [PDF]
Agronomy, 2021 Forage brassicas are used as a forage in monoculture and multispecies mixtures, yet research defining best management practices is limited. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of land preparation method and planting date on establishment ...

108 Forage Mass and Nutritive Value of Stockpiled Alfalfa-bermudagrass Systems [PDF]
J Anim Sci, 2022 Abstract The development of newer alfalfa cultivars with improved adaptation to local growing conditions and dual-purpose applications has increased alfalfa incorporation into grass systems in the southern United States. The complementary growth of both species helps to extend the forage production season length, decreasing producer ...

Foraging dive frequency predicts body mass gain in the Adélie penguin [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 AbstractQuantifying food intake in wild animals is crucial to many ecological and evolutionary questions, yet it can be very challenging, especially in the marine environment. Because foraging behavior can be inferred from dive recordings in many marine creatures, we hypothesized that specific behavioral dive variables can indicate food intake. To test

Optimal distributions of central-place foragers: honey bee foraging in a mass flowering crop
Behavioral Ecology, 2022 AbstractThe ideal-free distribution and central-place foraging are important ecological models that can explain the distribution of foraging organisms in their environment. However, this model ignores distance-based foraging costs from a central place (hive, nest), whereas central-place foraging ignores competition.

Forage mass, botanical composition and stocking density of bermudagrass overseeded with forage legumes [PDF]
Revista Ceres, 2017 ABSTRACT Pastures of the genus Cynodon are being cultivated alone in conventional production with high rates of nitrogen fertilizer. Information and research about its use on mixed-pasture system is scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate three grazing systems with coastcross-1 (CC) + 100 kg N ha-1 year-1 + common vetch; CC + 100 kg N ha-1 ...

Blooming and Forage Characteristics of Twelve Native Forbs Subjected to Repeated Defoliation
Agronomy, 2023 Insect pollinators are in population decline due to environmental and chemical stressors. Including native forbs in pastures could benefit grazers and pollinators; however, their forage and flowering characteristics are not fully documented.

<b>Forage mass and nutritive value of bermuda grass mixed to forage peanut or common vetch [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum. Animal Sciences, 2016 Three pasture-based systems (PS) with bermuda grass (BG) + forage peanut + 75 kg of N ha-1; BG + common vetch + 75 kg of N ha-1 and BG + 150 kg of N ha-1 were evaluated. Lactating Holstein cows were used for evaluation and the experimental design was completely randomized.
