ABSTRACT Intercropping grasses and legumes could be an important strategy for sustainable food production in tropical weathered soils. This study aimed to assess the impact of intercropping systems comprising maize and grass with or without a legume for silage production and overseeded black oat overseeded for lamb grazing on crop production, root ...

Performance of Beef Cattle Under Grazing as Affected by Urochloa decumbens Cultivars
ABSTRACT Testing animal performance under grazing is fundamental to determine the potential of recently released, high‐yielding Urochloa decumbens hybrids. The objective was to evaluate the weight gain of young bulls grazing on pastures of U. decumbens cultivars Basilisk, BRS Carinás, and BRS Poraitê, as well as to assess the nutritive value and plant ...

Dehydration avoidance of Megathyrsus maximus genotypes and cultivar Quênia grown in long tubes.
The development of new forage grass cultivars that avoid drought stress by root growth is important to ensure animal feeding during dry periods. We evaluated the ability of five genotypes of Megathyrsus maximus and of the cultivar M. maximus 'Quênia' (QE)

Use of nicosulfuron in the management of Megathyrsus maximus ‘BRS Zuri’ intercropped with maize
ABSTRACT Intercropping maize with tropical forages is common in production systems but must be correctly managed during the early stages to avoid a loss in crop yield due to interspecific competition. Applying subdoses of selective herbicides to the maize is a possible way of suppressing forage growth and avoiding this competition.
