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.

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.

Forage Biomass and Chemical Composition of Buffelgrass Genotypes in the Semi‐Arid Region of Brazil

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Forage improvement in semi‐arid regions requires the identification of genotypes capable of maintaining productivity under climatic variability and chronic water scarcity. This study evaluated six buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) genotypes over two production years in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, to characterize their agronomic, morphological, and ...

Agronomic Traits, Physiological Parameters, Chemical Composition, and In Vitro Digestibility of Urochloa Brizantha Cv. Piatã, Megathyrsus Maximus Cv. Zuri and Megathyrsus Maximus Cv. Tamani in Silvopastoral Systems

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Urochloa species are widely used in silvopastoral systems (SPS), but production losses highlight the need for more productive forages. This study evaluated agronomic, physiological, chemical composition, and in vitro digestibility responses of Urochloa brizantha cv. Piatã and Megathyrsus maximus cvs.

How Are Warm-Season Pastures’ Nutritive Value and Fermentation Characteristics Affected by Open Pasture, Silvopasture, and Sward Herbage Maturity?

Agronomy, 2023
This study aimed to evaluate the forage mass and nutritional value (NV) of Guinea Massai grass (Megathyrsus maximus × Megathyrsus infestum) in an open pasture (OP) or the silvopastoral system (SPS) at different stages of development (SDs).

Impacts of Intercropping Maize–Grass–Legume for Silage Production and Oversowing Black Oat for Lamb Grazing on Soil Fertility

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
ABSTRACT Intercropping grasses and legumes could be an important strategy for sustainable food production in tropical weathered soils. This study aimed to assess the impact of intercropping systems comprising maize and grass with or without a legume for silage production and overseeded black oat overseeded for lamb grazing on crop production, root ...
