Agronomic responses and botanical composition of warm‐season annual forages managed under contrasting harvest strategies

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Warm‐season annual (WSA) forages enhance the summer forage supply in subtropical livestock systems. The objective of this study was to determine forage mass (FM), nutritive value, nitrogen (N) yield, and botanical composition in 12 forage mixtures managed under two harvest strategies (simulated grazing vs. baleage). A randomized complete block

Effect of Sowing Time on the Growth of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) Genotypes Within Temperate Environments of Southern Australia

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Mungbean is predominantly cultivated within a subtropical climate, and its potential for cultivation in temperate regions as a summer crop has not been comprehensively assessed. This research investigates the influence of temperature and seasonal variation with sowing time on mungbean phenology, growth and yield at five locations within the ...

Identification of High‐Performing Extra‐Early Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Genotypes for Rice‐Rice Cropping Systems Using MGIDI and Multivariate Analysis

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of rice–rice farming systems in South Asia necessitates extra‐early maturing legumes that can fit into short planting windows without affecting yield productivity. This 2‐year study evaluates 43 extra‐early field pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes during two consecutive years at the Pulses Research Centre (PRC), Bangladesh ...
