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.

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.

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

Effects of leaf and stem maturation on nutritional value in Megathyrsus maximus
Journal of the Science of Food and AgricultureAbstractBackgroundMegathyrsus maximus is a forage grass native to Africa but widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world where it is part of the grazing food chain. This study aimed to evaluate five M. maximus genotypes for the effect of maturity on their morpho‐agronomic traits, nutritional composition and digestibility, and to ...

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 ...

Effect of salinity tolerance in yield performance of guinea grass (Megathyrsus maximus) genotypes
Journal of Farm SciencesExcess salts in soil negatively impact the growth and development of plants. These types of land under the salinity impact could be changed for pasture production or fodder cultivation to improve animal husbandry when croppingis impossible due to higher salinity levels.
