Rising Plate Meter Calibrations for Forage Mass of Wheat and Rye [PDF]

Agricultural & Environmental Letters, 2019
Core Ideas The rising plate meter was useful in predicting forage mass. A quadratic functional form is favored for predicting forage mass using the rising plate meter. Relationships differed by species, season, and tillage Estimating forage availability is important in optimizing livestock stocking rates.

Does the residual effect of n-fertilization applied on corn phase maintain forage production of the following pasture phase in an integrated crop-livestock system?

Bioscience Journal, 2020
Nutrient cycling represents an important nutrient source in the Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems (ICLS). In general, only the crop phase of the ICLS is fertilized, however little is known about this residual effect of nitrogen fertilization from summer ...

The sward height at the early stockpiling period modifies the structural characteristics of marandu palisadegrass under continuous stocking

Bioscience Journal, 2022
The control of sward height at the early stockpiling period influences the structural characteristics of stockpiled sward in winter. So, we conducted this work on the Cerrado region of Brazil based on the hypothesis that the reduction of pasture height ...

What Is the Maximum Nitrogen Dose for the Fertilization of BRS Tamani?

Nitrogen
This study aimed to determine the optimal nitrogen (N) fertilization rate per regrowth cycle for Megathyrsus maximus cv. BRS Tamani by evaluating its effects on forage production, nutrient uptake, bromatological composition, and in vitro degradation ...

Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Specialized Metabolites for Predicting Lichen Fitness and Snail Foraging [PDF]

Plants, 2020
Lichens are slow-growing organisms supposed to synthetize specialized metabolites to protect themselves against diverse grazers. As predicted by the optimal defense theory (ODT), lichens are expected to invest specialized metabolites in higher levels in reproductive tissues compared to thallus.

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.
