Repeatability, Genetic Variability and Importance of Forage Traits in Ecotypes of Brunswickgrass (Paspalum nicorae Parodi) via BLUP

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 561-574, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study estimated the repeatability of forage traits in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes using six statistical methods and quantified the minimum number of harvests needed for effective selection. Multivariate analyses based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values were also performed to assess genetic variability, identify key traits ...

Utilization of Coconut Plantation Weeds as a Sustainable Feedstock for Biochar Production

Contemporary Agriculture
Biochar, a carbon-rich and highly porous material, is created through the process of pyrolysis, a thermal decomposition of raw materials conducted in a controlled, low or no oxygen environment.

Effect of Sulfur Sources on Megathyrsus Maximus ‘Mombaça’ Grass Cultivated in a Typic Ultisol

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2020
The deficiency of sulfur (S) in agricultural soils has been aggravated in recent decades, mainly by the application of high concentration fertilizers that are S-free and intensive agricultural acti...

Plant growth regulator and spring nitrogen effects on grass seed crops in western Canada

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used in herbage seed crops to mitigate lodging risk and protect seed yield, though their effects on aging perennial grass stands remain understudied. This study evaluated the effect of PGRs on the agronomic characteristics of herbage seed crops of creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.), meadow brome (Bromus ...

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

Population dynamics, survival, and movements of Texas tortoises in a national park in southern Texas

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Texas tortoise abundance in a small national park in South Texas, USA, declined by >25%, from an estimated 273 tortoises in 2014 to 204 tortoises in 2024. The severity of the decline varied across survey units, but abundance remained highest in areas having greater canopy cover and experiencing less invasion by Guinea grass.

Forage Biomass and Chemical Composition of Buffelgrass Genotypes in the Semi‐Arid Region of Brazil

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Forage improvement in semi‐arid regions requires the identification of genotypes capable of maintaining productivity under climatic variability and chronic water scarcity. This study evaluated six buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.) genotypes over two production years in northern Minas Gerais, Brazil, to characterize their agronomic, morphological, and ...

Agronomic Traits, Physiological Parameters, Chemical Composition, and In Vitro Digestibility of Urochloa Brizantha Cv. Piatã, Megathyrsus Maximus Cv. Zuri and Megathyrsus Maximus Cv. Tamani in Silvopastoral Systems

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Urochloa species are widely used in silvopastoral systems (SPS), but production losses highlight the need for more productive forages. This study evaluated agronomic, physiological, chemical composition, and in vitro digestibility responses of Urochloa brizantha cv. Piatã and Megathyrsus maximus cvs.

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.
