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.

Associative diazotrophic bacteria and forage legumes sustain brachiariagrass pasture performance through enhanced root traits

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Interest in microbial plant growth‐promoting processes, particularly biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF), has increased globally as a strategic alternative to mineral N fertilization. Understanding the response of root traits to diverse N sources plays a critical role in unraveling canopy dynamics and improving decision‐making in forage ...

Carcass and meat characteristics of Dorper x Santa Ines lambs finished in pasture, silvopastoral system, and feedlot

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2021
The objective of this work was to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of carcass and meat of Dorper x Santa Ines crossbred lambs finished in a silvopastoral system, pasture or feedlot. Twenty-four non-castrated male lambs were used (

Herbage Accumulation, Persistence and Nutritive Value of C4 Grasses Grown Across Temperate Environments in South‐Eastern Australia

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate modelling has projected increasing temperatures and a shift in rainfall systems in southern Australia, suggesting an increase in the summer–autumn feed gap of pasture systems based on temperate species. Tropical (C4) pasture species may diversify the feed base and help mitigate climate variability in these areas.

Establishment and Yield of Overseeded Black Oat in a Silvopastoral System: Effects of Tree‐Induced Changes in Microclimatic and Soil Conditions

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Tree integration into pasture systems modifies microclimatic and edaphic conditions that can influence forage dynamics, especially during the establishment of overseeding annual cool‐season forage species in subtropical regions. This study evaluated the agronomic performance of black oat (Avena strigosa), overseeded into a warm‐season ...

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.

Genotype × Environment Interaction for Leaf Dry Matter Yield in Guineagrass: Identification of Mega‐Environments and Optimization of Multi‐Environment Trials

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Guineagrass (Megathyrsus maximus B.K. Simon & S.W.L. Jacobs [syn. Panicum maximum Jacq.]) presents the highest forage production potential among apomictic cultivated tropical forage grasses in Brazil, and the development of superior cultivars depends on accurate genotype evaluation across multiple environments. This study aimed to characterize

Assessing forage mass using smartphone imagery for cereal rye under grazing conditions in Nebraska

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Managing grazing efficiency requires reliable and practical tools to estimate forage mass. Traditional methods like clipping, though accurate, are time consuming and labor intensive. In this study, two imaging tools, Canopeo and the Crop Canopy Image Analyzer (CCIA), were evaluated for their efficacy in estimating the forage mass of cereal rye

The Distribution and Quality of Elephant Food Plants in Mwea National Reserve‐Kenya

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how herbivores respond to spatial and temporal resource variability is a central aspect of resource use ecology. This 18‐month study examined how seasonal changes in food plants availability, distribution and nutritional quality influence the foraging behaviour of African savanna elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Mwea National ...
