Oxalate nephropathy in cattle associated with the consumption of <i>Megathyrsus maximus</i> in Argentina. [PDF]

J Vet Diagn Invest
Over a 2-wk period, 20 cows that were grazing a Megathyrsus maximus (Guinea grass) pasture died after developing depression, respiratory difficulty, and recumbency. Affected animals had increased serum urea, phosphorus, and creatinine concentrations, and below-normal calcium concentrations ...

Genetic linkage mapping in Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.) with multiple dosage markers. [PDF]

G3 (Bethesda)
Abstract Megathyrsus maximus (Jacq.), commonly known as guinea grass, is a forage crop widely used to form pastures and feed livestock. The species stands out for presenting high yield and nutritional quality in the leaves and its ability to be clonally propagated by seeds.

CO₂ Fertilisation of Growth in Wild C₄ Grasses may be Amplified by Upregulated Photosynthesis. [PDF]

Plant Cell Environ
ABSTRACT Rising atmospheric CO2 is expected to have limited direct effects on C4 photosynthesis because the carbon‐concentrating mechanism maintains near‐saturating CO2 at Rubisco. Consequently, growth responses of C4 plants to elevated CO2 (eCO2) are generally attributed to indirect improvements in plant water relations.

Grass species and climatic season impact on Rhipicephalus microplus temporal abundance in a tropical region. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...

Soil Microbial Assembly Mirrors a Savanna Mosaic Amid Plant Invasion and Soil Disturbance. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Grasslands and woody patches supported distinct soil and microbial assemblages, consistent with differences in vegetation inputs and nutrient regimes. Grasslands exhibited relatively simple assembly patterns, with plant diversity closely associated with soil nutrients and comparatively homogeneous microbial communities.

Nitrogen‐Driven Changes in Canopy Structure Enhance Productivity and Efficiency of Guineagrass (Megathyrsus maximus) cv. BRS Quênia Across Contrasting Growing Seasons [PDF]

Plant Environ Interact
ABSTRACT Understanding the responses of forage cultivars to nitrogen (N) fertilization is essential for developing efficient strategies for the sustainable intensification of pasture‐based livestock systems. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of increasing N doses on forage production, canopy structure, nutritive value, and agronomic efficiency ...

Guinea Grass (Megathyrsus maximus) Fibres as Sorbent in Diesel Bioremediation

Sustainability, 2023
In this study, the ability of a natural grass named Megathyrsus maximus (Guinea grass) as a sorbent for cleaning up diesel spills in water was investigated. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to identify the physicochemical properties of untreated and treated GG.
