Potential of Grasses in Phytolith Production in Soils Contaminated with Cadmium

Plants, 2020
Cadmium (Cd) is a very toxic heavy metal occurring in places with anthropogenic activities, making it one of the most important environmental pollutants. Phytoremediation plants are used for recovery of metal-contaminated soils by their ability to absorb

Forage yield and morphogenesis of Megathyrsus maximus cultivars in Roraimas’s savannas

Research, Society and Development, 2020
In order to evaluate the forage productivity and the morphogenic and structural characteristics of Megathyrsus maximus cultivars (Massai, Mombasa, Kenya, Tamani, Tanzania and Zuri), an experiment was conduct under natural environmental conditions in the savannahs of Roraima. The highest yields of green dry matter (GDM) were found with cultivars Zuri (4,

Nutritive value of perennial pastures along an elevation gradient in tropical conditions

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
IntroductionThe nutritive value of forages is one of the main drivers of productivity for livestock. In many tropical regions, same grass species occur at different elevations, but few studies have evaluated nutritive value changes within elevation ...

Effects of shade on guinea grass genotypes Megathyrsus maximus (Poales: Poaceae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2020
Introduction: Light stress is an important factor limiting the biomass yield while combining forage production with crops or forestry. Guinea grass is a widely adapted perennial fodder grass. The species exhibits high degree of variation for morphology, adaptation and biomass yield.

Assessing forage mass using smartphone imagery for cereal rye under grazing conditions in Nebraska

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
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

Plant growth regulator and spring nitrogen effects on grass seed crops in western Canada

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used in herbage seed crops to mitigate lodging risk and protect seed yield, though their effects on aging perennial grass stands remain understudied. This study evaluated the effect of PGRs on the agronomic characteristics of herbage seed crops of creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.), meadow brome (Bromus ...

Population dynamics, survival, and movements of Texas tortoises in a national park in southern Texas

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Texas tortoise abundance in a small national park in South Texas, USA, declined by >25%, from an estimated 273 tortoises in 2014 to 204 tortoises in 2024. The severity of the decline varied across survey units, but abundance remained highest in areas having greater canopy cover and experiencing less invasion by Guinea grass.

Utilization of Coconut Plantation Weeds as a Sustainable Feedstock for Biochar Production

Contemporary Agriculture
Biochar, a carbon-rich and highly porous material, is created through the process of pyrolysis, a thermal decomposition of raw materials conducted in a controlled, low or no oxygen environment.
