Fall grazing improves the performance of Kernza intermediate wheatgrass as a dual‐purpose crop
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Kernza intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) [Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey] is a perennial grain and forage crop with novel dual‐use potential. Grazing IWG forage and/or intercropping IWG with legumes can increase total annual forage yields, but the effect of grazing timing on grain yield needs to be understood to maximize ...

Comparison of various fertilizer recommendations for forage crops in the Western United States
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Farmers often use private and public labs, crop advisors, or fertilizer dealers to determine fertilizer needs for crops, with recommendations and resulting costs from these sources having the potential to vary greatly. Twelve on‐farm trials across the state of Utah in alfalfa (Medicago sativa), small grain forage, and silage corn (Zea mays ...

Toward an art of genomic selection in vegetable breeding
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is a powerful strategy for accelerating genetic gain in plant breeding. While in recent years GS has been widely adopted in breeding programs for agronomic crops, its implementation in vegetable breeding has been comparatively limited.

Betalain synthesis in alfalfa impacts fiber digestion and enteric methane production
Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract Betalain pigments, betacyanins, and betaxanthins are widely used as coloring agents as well as in pharmaceutical and functional foods. However, significant betacyanin production occurs in only a few species of plants, which limits their wider application.
