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 ...

Genotype × Environment Interaction for Leaf Dry Matter Yield in Guineagrass: Identification of Mega‐Environments and Optimization of Multi‐Environment Trials

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

Effect of Time of Nitrogen Fertilization on Use of Root Reserves in Megathyrsus maximus Cultivars

Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a very important nutrient in grass maintenance fertilization and therefore must be applied at the appropriate moment. The objective of this study was to identify the most responsive moment to nitrogen fertilization and to verify if root mass ...

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 ...

Yield, chemical composition and chlorophyll relative content of Tanzania and Mombaça grasses irrigated and fertilized with nitrogen after corn intercropping Produtividade, composição bromatológica e teor relativo de clorofila dos capins tanzânia e mombaça irrigados e adubados com nitrogênio após o consórcio com milho

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2011
It was evaluated the effect of the absence and of application of three nitrogen doses (50, 100 and 200 kg ha-1of N) and four harvest times in the winter/spring season (from July to October) on dry mass yield (DMY), on the relative chlorophyll contents ...
