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.

Different Grazing Frequencies Modify the Structure, Production, and Nutritional Value of ‘Zuri’ Guineagrass in the Brazilian Cerrado

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing climate variability in tropical regions demands management goals that allow for shorter rest periods without compromising pasture persistence. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of four pre‐grazing light interception (LI) levels on the structural, productive, and nutritional responses of ‘Zuri’ guinea grass ...

Plant Growth‐Promoting Rhizobacteria Impacting Forage Mass of Urochloa ruziziensis and Megathyrsus maximus: A Reliable New Strategy for Tropical Pastures

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 1, January-March 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is known for its extensive livestock production in pastures, supporting the world's second‐largest herd of cattle and being the leading beef exporter. However, livestock farming in Brazil has frequently been associated with soil degradation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Silage as a Feasible Technique for Calabash Tree (Crescentia cujete) Fruit Conservation: Evaluation of Different Mixtures and Alternatives

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This research was aimed at evaluating the efficiency of silage technique with or without additional ingredients for conserving the fruit of the calabash tree (Crescentia cujete) as a source of food for cattle in the tropical dry forest. Five treatments were distributed in a completely randomized design, following a 5 × 5 factorial scheme with five ...
