Nutritions Forage from Napier and Guinea Grasses

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1952
Napier and Guinea grasses are recognized drought-resistant forage crops. They were introduced into the Punjab in 1926, and because of their long life and capability of giving high yields of green stuff without much effort or care were finally recommended for cultivation in the State in 1931. Both tirese grasses are perennial and supply large quantities

Potassium reduces oxidative stress in tanzania guinea grass under cadmium toxicity

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021
Plants used for phytoextraction of metals need to tolerate toxicity conditions. Potassium (K) participates in physiological and biochemical processes that can alleviate toxicity by heavy metals, including cadmium (Cd). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of K on photosynthesis and on the changes in the antioxidant system of tanzania guinea grass ...

Co. 1 GUINEA GRASS (PANICUM MAXIMUM JACG.)

Madras Agricultural Journal, 1994
The germplasm types of Guine sagrass in the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. Coimbatore were evaluated for green fodder yield during 1980-82 along with the local variety. Six selections were found promising in 1982-83 and preliminary yield trials were conducted from 1985 to 1988.

Simulating Guinea Grass Production: Empirical and Mechanistic Approaches

Agronomy Journal, 2013
Tropical grasses are economically important for cattle production in Brazil, and accurate simulation models for tropical pastures can benefit forage researchers and farm managers by improving tropical forage production systems. This research calibrated and validated four modeling approaches of contrasting complexity to simulate mass production of ...

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. To determine the dry matter production of this species, plots were established in existing swards located in ...

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.
