Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.ABSTRACT Guineagrass (Megathyrsus maximus B.K. Simon & S.W.L. Jacobs [syn. Panicum maximum Jacq.]) presents the highest forage production potential among apomictic cultivated tropical forage grasses in Brazil, and the development of superior cultivars depends on accurate genotype evaluation across multiple environments. This study aimed to characterize

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

The Distribution and Quality of Elephant Food Plants in Mwea National Reserve‐Kenya
African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding how herbivores respond to spatial and temporal resource variability is a central aspect of resource use ecology. This 18‐month study examined how seasonal changes in food plants availability, distribution and nutritional quality influence the foraging behaviour of African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Mwea National ...

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 561-574, June 2026.ABSTRACT This study estimated the repeatability of forage traits in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes using six statistical methods and quantified the minimum number of harvests needed for effective selection. Multivariate analyses based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values were also performed to assess genetic variability, identify key traits ...

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 ...
