GRAZING MANAGEMENT FOR IMPROVED GUINEA GRASS PERSISTENCE

1996
Sustainable, tropical forage-livestock production systems must be based on maintenance of pasture botanical composition. Sheep were allowed to graze rotationally (14 d graze, 28 d rest) on a guinea grass (Panicum maximum) pasture at four levels of hcrbage-on-ofier (HO) of 4, 7, 10, and 13% dry matter of animal body weight (BW).

Yield and yield prediction of guinea grass pastures

1987
Native pastures are the most important source of feed for the livestock industry in St. Croix, U.S.V.I. One of the major constituents of these pastures is guinea qrass (Panicum maximum), found in well managed, properly stocked situations.

Response of Guinea Grass Varieties to Shade and Potash

Madras Agricultural Journal, 2011
Field experiment was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala to find out the potash requirements for guinea grass varieties under varying shade levels. Results of the experiment revealed that lower levels of shade as well as higher levels of potassium had significant positive influence in improving the fodder ...

Guinea Grass (green Panic Grass) Shyamashree Roy And Sanchita Mondal Ghosh

2018
It is the most palatable fodder crop to animals because of its high leaf:stem ratio. It contains 10% crude protein at young leafy stage. Apart from its use as green fodder, it also can be used as hay or silage when the harvesting is delayed and the protein content starts decreasing.

HISTOLOGY OF SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS IN PANICUM MAXIMUM (GUINEA GRASS)

American Journal of Botany, 1985
Immature embryos of Panicum maximum Jacq. (Guinea grass) were cultured on Murashige and Skoog's medium containing 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (5 mg/1) and coconut milk (5%). The epidermal and subepidermal cells of the scutellum at the coleorhizal end either formed somatic embryos directly or gave rise to embryogenic callus at several loci.

Immunogenicity in Guinea Pigs and Tolerance in Grass Pollen-Sensitive Volunteers of Enteric-Coated Grass Pollen Allergens

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 1987
An acid-insoluble, methacrylic acid, methyl methacrylate copolymer (Eudragit L-100) was used to give an enteric coating to a grass pollen extract in order to protect it against gastric degradation. Substantial protection against the degradative effects of simulated gastric secretion was demonstrated using this preparation which was well tolerated by ...

Selenium Fertilization of Guinea Grass Pastures in Central Puerto Rico

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2006
Abstract Five levels of selenium (Se) fertilization and a control were tested in a Guinea grass paddock. All treatments followed the same trend: an initial Se concentration increment up to week 6 and then a slow decrease toward initial values or less. No significant differences among treatments or interactions were observed during the 22 weeks of the ...

Potassium affects the phytoextraction potential of Tanzania guinea grass under cadmium stress

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2019
The supply of potassium (K) is a strategy to increase the tolerance of plants exposed to Cd toxicity. The aim of this study was to verify the influence of K on the growth and potential of Tanzania guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq. cv. Tanzania (syn. Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) B.K. Simon & S.W.L. Jacobs)) for Cd phytoextraction as well as to evaluate
