Physiological and Agronomic Responses of Tamani Grass Under Different Nitrogen Fertilization Strategies

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.
Nitrogen is the most limiting nutrient for plant growth. Therefore, nitrogen fertilization of pastures must be prioritized to sustain high pasture yield. The objective of this study was to evaluate physiological and agronomic responses of Tamani grass managed under different nitrogen fertilization strategies.

A role for phytosiderophores by Poaceae to acquire phosphorus in severely phosphorus‐impoverished habitats

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study demonstrates that several native grasses employed phytosiderophores not only for Fe acquisition, but probably also to mobilise P in their natural severely P‐impoverished habitats, supported by concomitant carboxylate exudation. These findings expand our understanding of integrated P‐acquisition mechanisms in Poaceae within nutrient‐limited ...

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).

Associative diazotrophic bacteria and forage legumes sustain brachiariagrass pasture performance through enhanced root traits

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Interest in microbial plant growth‐promoting processes, particularly biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF), has increased globally as a strategic alternative to mineral N fertilization. Understanding the response of root traits to diverse N sources plays a critical role in unraveling canopy dynamics and improving decision‐making in forage ...

Herbage Accumulation, Persistence and Nutritive Value of C4 Grasses Grown Across Temperate Environments in South‐Eastern Australia

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate modelling has projected increasing temperatures and a shift in rainfall systems in southern Australia, suggesting an increase in the summer–autumn feed gap of pasture systems based on temperate species. Tropical (C4) pasture species may diversify the feed base and help mitigate climate variability in these areas.

Establishment and Yield of Overseeded Black Oat in a Silvopastoral System: Effects of Tree‐Induced Changes in Microclimatic and Soil Conditions

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Tree integration into pasture systems modifies microclimatic and edaphic conditions that can influence forage dynamics, especially during the establishment of overseeding annual cool‐season forage species in subtropical regions. This study evaluated the agronomic performance of black oat (Avena strigosa), overseeded into a warm‐season ...

Intercropping With Sorghum and Megathyrsus for Silage and Pasture Production in Integrated Systems

Boletim de Indústria Animal, 2022
The search for sustainability has been arousing increasing interest in production systems that improve productivity and minimize environmental impacts. An alternative is the intercropped sowing technique, which has shown positive results in the production of silage and pasture in integrated systems.

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.
