ABSTRACT Background: Grass–clover and silage maize are key for dairy feed production and frequently occur within the same crop rotations. Fertilizer management in grass–clover may leave residual effects that influence both environmental outcomes and the performance of subsequent maize crops.

Can DNA from wet, temperate soils be used for palaeoecological reconstruction?
ABSTRACT Sedimentary ancient DNA in well‐dated contexts (sedaDNA) has great potential as a palaeoecological proxy. A few studies have attempted palaeoecological reconstructions using sedaDNA from soil; these studies have been mainly restricted to cold and/or dry soils.

Abstract Background Fusarium graminearum, one of the causal agents of ear rot in maize and head blight of cereal grains, also infects hemp (Cannabis sativa L. containing a maximum of 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol or THC). This fungal pathogen produces trichothecene mycotoxins when it infects maize and cereal grains, but little is known about its production

In vitro and in sacco determination of neutral detergent fibre digestibility of treated cereal straw
Abstract Background Cereal straw is hardly digestible due to its complex bonds of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. That is why chemical treatments, such as with sodium hydroxide, may help to loosen the bonds and thus increase ruminal digestibility. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility is a good predictor of feed intake.
