SUMMARYIn the late summer and autumn of 1980 kikuyu poisoning of cattle was diagnosed on 9 farms in New South Wales resulting in 213 deaths among 1370 cattle at risk. Clinical, autopsy and histopathological findings are described and are consistent with those previously recorded.

Variation in the supracritical nitrogen concentration of kikuyu grass
Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 1990Abstract The N concentration was monitored in grazed pastures of kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum) where regular applications of nitrogen fertilizer removed any nitrogen deficiency for growth. The heavy fertilizer applications maintained supracritical N concentrations of 3.7–5.3% in the last fully‐formed laminae.

Aluminium Uptake by Excised Roots of Cabbage, Lettuce and Kikuyu Grass
Australian Journal of Plant Physiology, 1979Uptake of aluminium by excised roots of cabbage, lettuce, kikuyu grass and by a weakly acidic cation exchange resin was studied. The role of metabolism was also investigated, using a range of temperatures and a metabolic inhibitor. The time course of uptake had two phases: an initial rapid phase of about 60 min duration for all species and a slower ...

The germination of excreted kikuyu grass seed in cattle dung pats
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1977SUMMARYThe quantity of seed ingested and excreted by penned cattle from offerings of freshly cut kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum cv. Whittet) was measured during the autumn at Grafton, N.S.W. A mean 101·6 g of whole seed was ingested per head per day, of which 22·9% was excreted.

A review of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) poisoning in cattle
Australian Veterinary Journal, 2007K ikuyu grass ( Pennisetum clandestinum ) is a perennial pasture species with a spring to autumn growth habit. Although it is usually grazed without ill effect, spasmodic incidents of poisoning in cattle 1 and, to a much lesser extent, sheep 2 and goats, 3 have been encountered.

The introduction of kikuyu (Cenchrus clandestinus (Hochst. ex Chiov.) Morrone) into Australia in 1918 has seen it become established and adapted to several geographic regions in a wide range of ecologies and environmental situations. After it naturalised to local conditions, researchers and farmers recognised the value of kikuyu in marginal and ...

Structural carbohydrate levels in kikuyu grass and ryegrass grown under identical conditions
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1973Abstract Kikuyu grass herbage (Pennisetum clandestinum) contained higher levels of cell-wall constituents than perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) grown under identical conditions. Much of this difference was due to hemicellulose rather than cellulose.

Cool-season growth responses of kikuyu grass and ryegrass to gibberellic acid
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1980Abstract Application of gibberellic acid at 100 g a.i./ha in July resulted in rapid visual responses in both kikuyu grass and ryegrass swards in the form of elongation and a slight yellowing of foliage. Ground level cuts showed significant dry matter responses of both kikuyu grass and ryegrass to gibberellic acid, but they were smaller than the visual ...

Seasonal enrichment by trace elements of kikuyu grass around heavy metals industries
Plant and Soil, 1976Samples of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst.) taken in autumn and spring around a smelting complex show a marked seasonal enrichment by trace elements. The general deposition of metals from the atmosphere, diminishing outwards from the source, produces a matrix of highly significant correlations between all contaminating metals in grass and

Survey of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinumHochst.) in New Zealand pastures
New Zealand Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1978Abstract A survey among farm advisory officers of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries was undertaken to determine the distribution of, production from, and attitudes to kikuyu grass in New Zealand. Kikuyu is widespread throughout Northland, and there are small areas in some coastal districts throughout the remainder of the North Island and in the
