Screening bermudagrass genotypes for improved forage production

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 2, December 2026.
Abstract Cynodon is a diverse genus of great economic importance to the southeastern United States. However, the bermudagrass stem maggot (BSM; Atherigona reversura Villeneuve) is threatening bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) throughout the region. Long‐term solutions require the development and release of BSM‐tolerant bermudagrass genotypes.

Sustained Livestock Grazing Enhances Soil Organic Carbon Storage in Sub‐Arctic Grassland

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
We studied long‐term effects of grazing cessation on 34 grassland and heathland sites in Iceland. Grazing cessation was associated with lower SOC, nitrogen and root carbon in the top 10 cm of soil providing evidence for enhanced SOC in grazed land, showing that grazing is a climate change mitigation strategy.

Rough Fescue Response to Season and Intensity of Defoliation

, 1985
Rough fescue (Festuca scabrella Torr.) was subjected to 10 clipping regimes which varied in time or intensity of defoliation. The experiment was repeated at 2 sites for 3 consecutive years.

Características morfogênicas e estruturais e produção de forragem do capim-marandu submetido a intensidades e freqüências de desfolhação Morphogenetic and structural traits and herbage production of marandugrass under intensities and frequencies of defoliation

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2006
Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a influência de intensidades (10 e 20 cm) e freqüências de desfolhação (três intervalos de cortes, definidos pelo aparecimento de 5, 7 e 9 folhas/perfilho após cada evento de desfolhação) nas ...

Developing and deploying an unmanned aerial system–based phenotyping program for maturity to support soybean breeding

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] varieties are categorized into different relative maturity groups (MGs) that correspond to the approximate region that the variety is best adapted. Maturity is an important trait that growers consider when deciding which varieties to plant and for breeders as a covariate to compare genotypes.

COIRÓN DULCE (Festuca gracillima Hook, f.) GROWTH PHYSIOLOGY UNDER DIFFERENT DEFOLIATION INTENSITY LEVELS AND WATER RESTRICTION REGIMES [PDF]

Festuca gracillima Hook, f. is a tussock grass species that grows and dominates the rangelands of the Magellan Region in Chile. It may exhibit tolerance to water restriction, while low defoliation intensity could encourage F. gracillima growth regardless

Lotus tenuis in Association with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Is More Tolerant to Partial Submergence than to High-Intensity Defoliation

International Journal of Plant Biology
This study aimed to investigate the effect of the association of Lotus tenuis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on its development under high defoliation intensity or partial submergence in a P-deficient soil of the Salado River Basin in a pot ...

Pixel‐level supervision resolves overlap: Benchmarking YOLOv12 segmentation for accurate multi‐cluster dry bean stand counting from time series unoccupied aerial systems imagery

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract An agronomic trait such as stand count is important for cultivar development and crop management practices. Manually counting the number of plants is time consuming, labor‐intensive, and prone to error. The use of unoccupied aerial systems (UAS)‐collected red, green, blue (RGB) imagery in conjunction with advanced deep learning and image ...

Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Adult Abundance and Larval Host Plant Use in the Ord River Irrigation Area, Western Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) is a highly polyphagous lepidopteran pest; however, little is known about its seasonal population dynamics or larval host plant use in northern Australia. Improved understanding of the ecology of S. litura is increasingly important given the anticipated expansion of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton production in

Evaluating seedling traits, maintenance and effective costs to support tropical forest restoration practices

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
Seedling weeding in tropical forest restoration may not be universally needed across all species. Its cost may not be affordable for private landowners. This research shows that all landowners who wish to plant trees on their lands should be encouraged to do so—weeding or no weeding.
