Assessing forage mass using smartphone imagery for cereal rye under grazing conditions in Nebraska
Abstract Managing grazing efficiency requires reliable and practical tools to estimate forage mass. Traditional methods like clipping, though accurate, are time consuming and labor intensive. In this study, two imaging tools, Canopeo and the Crop Canopy Image Analyzer (CCIA), were evaluated for their efficacy in estimating the forage mass of cereal rye

Abstract Sod grown on plastic (SOP) is a sod established on a thin layer of growing medium atop a plastic sheet. It can be harvested with minimal damage to the roots, thereby reducing transplant shock. Kentucky bluegrass (KBG; Poa pratensis L.) is a commonly used cool‐season turfgrass species in sod production and sports fields. However, KBG is slow to

Legume based plant mixtures for delivery of multiple ecosystem services: An overview of benefits [PDF]
As costs for mineral fertilizers rise, legume-based leys are recognised as a potential alternative nitrogen source for crops. Here we demonstrate that including species-rich legume-based leys in the rotation helps to maximize synergies between ...

Timing of cultural and chemical methods to remove perennial ryegrass overseeded in bermudagrass
Abstract Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon L.) is a warm‐season grass that is often overseeded with cool‐season perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) in the fall to provide green cover. Overseeded bermudagrass is desirable from late fall to early spring; however, turfgrass managers face challenges removing it in the spring and summer months.
