Agronomic performance of interspecific Paspalum hybrids under nitrogen fertilization or mixed with legumes

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 3, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Abstract Nitrogen supply and mixtures with legumes affect agronomic performance of pastures, and both practices can guide breeding decisions in Paspalum hybrids. The goals of this study were: (a) quantify herbage accumulation (HA), leaf accumulation (LA), cold tolerance, and N use efficiency (NUE) in P. plicatulum × P.

Repeatability, Genetic Variability and Importance of Forage Traits in Ecotypes of Brunswickgrass (Paspalum nicorae Parodi) via BLUP

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 561-574, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study estimated the repeatability of forage traits in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes using six statistical methods and quantified the minimum number of harvests needed for effective selection. Multivariate analyses based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values were also performed to assess genetic variability, identify key traits ...

Performance of Beef Cattle Under Grazing as Affected by Urochloa decumbens Cultivars

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
ABSTRACT Testing animal performance under grazing is fundamental to determine the potential of recently released, high‐yielding Urochloa decumbens hybrids. The objective was to evaluate the weight gain of young bulls grazing on pastures of U. decumbens cultivars Basilisk, BRS Carinás, and BRS Poraitê, as well as to assess the nutritive value and plant ...

Estimating costs of ecological restoration across degradation scenarios in South Brazilian grasslands

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Introduction Grassland ecosystems are among the most threatened worldwide, and the Campos Sulinos—a region of subtropical grasslands in southern Brazil—experiences degradation driven by multiple factors. This study provides initial cost estimates for different restoration approaches, offering guidance for technical and budgetary planning ...

Seed yield and quality of interspecific hybrids of Paspalum plicatulum × P. guenoarum at different harvest times

Crop Science, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 697-709, March/April 2024.
Abstract Paspalum guenoarum is a warm‐season perennial grass, with a caespitose growth habit. The species is native to southern Brazilian grasslands and has been used in interspecific hybridizations because of its high palatability, resistance to trampling and grazing, and cold tolerance.
