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 ...

Seeding Rate Effects on Forage Mass and Vegetation Dynamics of Cool-Season Grass Sod Interseeded with Sorghum-Sudangrass [PDF]
Agronomy, 2021 Interseeding annual warm-season grasses into perennial cool-season grasses has the potential to increase summer forage mass and nutritive value. Knowledge of how seeding rate affects annual warm-season grass establishment, forage mass, and vegetation ...

A Pilot Study to Estimate Forage Mass from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in a Semi-Arid Rangeland
Remote Sensing, 2020 The application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the monitoring and management of rangelands has exponentially increased in recent years due to the miniaturization of sensors, ability to capture imagery with high spatial resolution, lower altitude ...

Using sentinel-2 satellite images and machine learning algorithms to predict tropical pasture forage mass, crude protein, and fiber content. [PDF]
Sci RepGrasslands cover approximately 24% of the Earth’s surface and are the main feed source for cattle and other ruminants. Sustainable and efficient grazing systems require regular monitoring of the quantity and nutritive value of pastures.

Partitioning of Forage Mass and Nutritive Value in Sunn Hemp Leaf and Stem Components
International Journal of Agronomy, 2021 Sunn hemp (SH; Crotalaria juncea L.) is a fast-growing, annual, warm-season tropical legume that could complement less productive cool-season forages such as tall fescue during summer.

Breeding for Resilience to Water Deficit and Its Predicted Effect on Forage Mass in Tall Fescue
Agronomy, 2021 Resilience is increasingly part of the discussion on climate change, yet there is a lack of breeding for resilience per se. This experiment examined the genetic parameters of a novel, direct measure of resilience to water deficit in tall fescue (Lolium ...
