Pest categorisation of Diaprepes abbreviatus [PDF]
EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the citrus root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) for the European Union (EU) following the commodity risk assessment of Ligustrum delavayanum topiary grafted on L. japonicum plants from the UK in which D.

Convolutional Neural Networks to Estimate Dry Matter Yield in a Guineagrass Breeding Program Using UAV Remote Sensing [PDF]
Sensors, 2021 Forage dry matter is the main source of nutrients in the diet of ruminant animals. Thus, this trait is evaluated in most forage breeding programs with the objective of increasing the yield.

Biological Nitrification Inhibition (BNI): Phenotyping of a Core Germplasm Collection of the Tropical Forage Grass Megathyrsus maximus Under Greenhouse Conditions [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Modern intensively managed pastures that receive large external nitrogen (N) inputs account for high N losses in form of nitrate (NO3–) leaching and emissions of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O).

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Wildlife plays an important role in the emergence of livestock diseases, and their movements can complicate disease management efforts. One of the most significant vector‐borne diseases of livestock worldwide is bovine babesiosis, spread by cattle fever ticks (CFTs; Rhipicephalus [=Boophilus] microplus and Rhipicephalus [=Boophilus] annulatus).

Forage conservation in sub‐Saharan Africa: Review of experiences, challenges, and opportunities
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 1, Page 75-99, January/February 2022., 2022 Abstract Forage conservation is an important potential solution to seasonal variation in feed quality and quantity and herder‐farmer conflicts in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Considerable variations exist in the type of forages conserved and the preservation methods across SSA. Hay from cultivated forages is commonly made with mechanical mowers and balers

Gender dynamics around introduction of improved forages in Kenya and Ethiopia
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 1, Page 277-295, January/February 2022., 2022 Abstract Improved forages of genus Brachiaria and Panicum grasses were introduced to men and women farmers in western Kenya and southern Ethiopia. To provide an understanding of the social and demographic characteristics of farming systems, a household survey was implemented in 2018/2019.

Maize and sorghum root growth and yield when intercropped with forage grasses
Agronomy Journal, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 4900-4915, November/December 2021., 2021 Abstract Integrated crop–livestock systems that intercrop forage crops with grain crops are effective for increasing forage production and improving nutrient cycling and soil health. However, the potential for root competition when maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] are intercropped with forages in sandy soils is unknown. The

Guiding fall fertilization of cool‐season turfgrass lawns with verdure tissue‐N tests
Crop Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 2090-2112, May 2021., 2021 Abstract Objective tests are not widely used to guide fall N fertilization of turfgrasses, and N is applied at predetermined rates regardless of plant‐N status. This study was conducted across 3 yr in Connecticut to determine if fall verdure concentrations of total N, dry‐tissue extractable nitrate (NO3)–N, and fresh sap NO3–N could guide fall N ...
