Development of Megathyrsus Maximus Genotypes for Intensification of Cattle Rearing in Brazil
XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023Megathyrsus maximus is a forage species used over 30 million hectares in Brazil and in the surrounding countries for intensification of the cattle production systems. Due to the large area and distinct biomes in which it is used, there is a need to continuously develop more productive and adapted cultivars to each biome and use.

GERMINACIÓN Y EMERGENCIA DE Megathyrsus maximus VAR.maximus [PDF]
Planta Daninha, 2015 RESUMEN Se estudió la germinación de semillas de Megathyrsus maximus al exponerlas a altas temperaturas y el efecto de diferentes profundidades de siembra y cantidades de residuos de cosecha en la emergencia de las plántulas. En laboratorio, se determinó la germinación y biomasa de semillas con y sin glumas y glumelas, expuestas a 0, 40, 60, 80 y 100 ...

Megathyrsus maximus (Guinea grass).
2021Abstract M. maximus is a highly successful invader in tropical and warm temperate areas after introduction as fodder. It can spread from seed, is highly competitive with native flora, and while it is highly fire resistant it can quickly spread to invade gaps left in natural vegetation after fire.

NIRS Estimation of the Nutritive Value of Megathyrsus maximus (Syn. Panicum sp.) Forages
Journal of Experimental Agriculture International, 2023Aimed to evaluate the estimation of the nutritive value of Megathyrsus maximus (Syn. Panicum sp.) forages by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). The experimental design was completely randomized with four replications. The treatments were arranged in a split-plot arrangement, with nine cultivars of M.

XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023
In Kenya, the dairy sub-sector is dominated by smallholder farmers, who keep between 1-10 dairy cows, and produce over 80% of the marketed milk in the country. The sub-sector is characterized by low milk production, long calving intervals and high calf mortality. The main constraint is the lack of year- round quality feeds hence the low lactation yield

Yield and Quality Responses of Megathyrsus maximus and Cynodon spp. Forage Grasses to Irrigation
Italian Journal of AgrometeorologyPeriodic variations in rainfall have resulted in longer periods of drought in traditional rainfed livestock systems on savanna areas in Brazil. However, irrigation management techniques and rotational grazing have improved the productivity of these systems by mitigating soil water stress on forage grasses.

Bioplastic production from Guinea grass (Megathyrsus maximus)
Proceedings of the Annual Research Symposium 2025, University of Colombo, Sri LankaPlastic pollution and dispersal of invasive plant species are among the most crucial environmental issues globally, contributing to ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. This study explores the potential of producing biodegradable plastics using cellulose extracted from the leaf biomass of an invasive grass Megathyrsus maximus.

Growth, productivity and quality of Megathyrsus maximus under cover from Gliricidia sepium
Agroforestry Systems, 2013The effect of tree canopy on the growth, productivity and forage quality of Megathyrsus maximus and changes in soil properties were evaluated over three seasonal periods. Four adjacent plots (15 m × 17 m each) in a tropical secondary deciduous forest having 12 years of growth and dominated by Gliricidia sepium were randomly assigned to two treatments ...
