ADUBAÇÃO POTÁSSICA DE CULTIVARES DE Megathyrsus maximus

Nativa
O potássio é o segundo macronutriente mais absorvido pelas plantas, podendo limitar a resposta da produção de forrageiras, principalmente as de maior exigência nutricional. O objetivo foi identificar a dose de potássio mais adequada para o desenvolvimento de cultivares de Megathyrsus maximus (Zuri, Tamani, Massai e Mombaça). O trabalho foi realizado na

Morphogenetic and structural characteristics of Megathyrsus maximus cv. Centenário under defoliation intensities

Research, Society and Development, 2020
The effect of defoliation intensities (20, 30, 40 and 50 cm above soil level) on green dry matter (GDM) yield and morphogenetic and structural characteristics of Megathyrsus maximus cv. Centenário were evaluated under field conditions in Roraima´s savannas.

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.

Potential of Grasses in Phytolith Production in Soils Contaminated with Cadmium

Plants, 2020
Cadmium (Cd) is a very toxic heavy metal occurring in places with anthropogenic activities, making it one of the most important environmental pollutants. Phytoremediation plants are used for recovery of metal-contaminated soils by their ability to absorb

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 ...

A Conservation Assessment and Systematic Review of the Endangered Spectacled Flying‐Fox 濒危眼镜狐蝠的保护评估与系统综述

Wildlife Letters, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 173-193, December 2025.
Spectacled flying‐fox Pteropus conspicillatus populations have declined so seriously over two decades that they are now endangered. Inaction has allowed threats to increase. Extreme heat events are now a lethal reality, habitat loss continues almost unabated, and pressure to disperse roosts is ever‐present. Obtaining resources and taking action to help
