Effect of nitrogen fertilization and shading on morphogenesis, structure and leaf anatomy of Megathyrsus maximus genotypes. [PDF]
Front Plant SciThe use of exotic grasses of African origin for pastures in Brazil has been a major advancement in livestock production, but little is known about the responses of these grasses to nitrogen fertilizers associated with shading. In this study, the morphogenetic, structural, and leaf anatomical characteristics of Megathyrsus maximus cultivars’ Tamani and ...

Evaluation of Megathyrsus maximus genotypes under water stress conditions
Acta Scientiarum. Animal Sciences, 2022 The objective was to evaluate the production of Megathyrsus maximus genotypes (Syn. Panicum maximum), under different levels of water in the soil. This was a 5x5 factorial completely randomized design conducted in a greenhouse, combining five genotypes of M. maximus (B55, C10 and PM30, cv. Massai and cv.

Dual‐Locus Metabarcoding Reveals Dry‐Season Dietary Differentiation Between Elephants and Impalas in a South African Savanna [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe applied dual‐locus DNA metabarcoding to compare dry‐season diets of African elephants and impalas in a South African savanna. Despite similar dietary diversity, the two species differed substantially in dietary composition, with differentiation associated with fine‐scale taxonomic differences rather than overall dietary breadth.

Biological nitrification inhibition and forage productivity of Megathyrsus maximus in Colombian dry tropics [PDF]
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2021 Agronomic, nutritional, and environmental aspects are integrated to promote sustainable tropical grassland production. Biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) is a plant-based strategy to improve nitrogen use efficiency by grasses in which they suppress the pace of soil nitrification via exudation of inhibitory compounds.

Megathyrsus Maximus cv. Massai submetido a frequências de corte
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2019 We evaluated the growth dynamics and forage production of Massai grass subjected to different cutting frequencies during the rainy season, with the aim to determine the most suitable cutting frequency to increase grass productivity. A randomized block design with four treatments (four cutting frequencies, 24, 32, 48, and 96 days) was used.
