Management techniques for the control of Melinis minutiflora P. Beauv. (molasses grass): ten years of research on an invasive grass species in the Brazilian Cerrado [PDF]
Acta Botanica Brasilica, 2017 ABSTRACT The invasion of exotic species is considered to be a major threat to the preservation of biodiversity. In the Parque Nacional de Brasília (National Park of Brasília), the invasive Melinis minutiflora (molasses grass) occupies more than 10 % of the area of the park.

Molasses Grass Induces Direct and Indirect Defense Responses in Neighbouring Maize Plants [PDF]
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2019 Plants have evolved intricate defence strategies against herbivore attack which can include activation of defence in response to stress-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by neighbouring plants. VOCs released by intact molasses grass (Melinis minutiflora), have been shown to repel stemborer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe), from maize and ...

Temporal dynamics of ruminal metabolome and fermentation in response to molasses-treated Guinea grass-cowpea silage. [PDF]
Vet Anim SciMolasses is widely used to improve silage quality, but little is known about how its inclusion during the ensiling of tropical forages affects ruminal degradability kinetics and metabolomic responses upon subsequent microbial fermentation.

ANNUAL MOWING PREVENTS THE RECRUITMENT OF MOLASSES-GRASS IN A BRAZILIAN SAVANNA [PDF]
Heringeriana, 2016 Melinis minutiflora é uma gramínea invasora em extensas áreas de Cerrado. Neste estudo de caso, foi utilizado corte anual a fim de verificar seu efeito no recrutamento de novos indivíduos de Melinis minutiflora. Em setembro de 2007, após a dispersão das sementes, o corte foi aplicado em uma área de 50 x 50 m e, nos quatro anos seguintes, o corte ...

Ruminal kinetics and nutritive value of zuri grass silage harvested at different ages and added with powder molasses [PDF]
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2022 Abstract The ideal regrowth age of forage plants and the use of fermentation stimulants additives may improve the fermentative characteristics and nutritive value of tropical grass silages. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of regrowth ages and the use of powdered molasses on nutritional characteristics of Zuri grass (Megathyrsus maximus)

The Effect of Molasses Addition as a Glucose Source on the Physic-chemical Characteristics of Elephant Grass Silage [PDF]
Jurnal Ilmu Nutrisi dan Teknologi Pakan, 2023 This study aimed to examine the molasses addition as a glucose source in the process of elephant grass silage. A completely randomized design consisting of five treatments and five replications was used in this study. The treatments were P1: elephant grass (EG) as control, P2: EG + 2.5% molasses, P3: EG + 5% molasses, P4: EG + 7.5% molasses and P5: EG +

Some Chemical Changes Occurring in Molasses Grass Silage
Journal of Dairy Science, 1941 Summary The periodic determinations of pH, total sugars, reducing sugars, volatile acids, total nitrogen, water-soluble nitrogen, and ammonia nitrogen in a silo containing a mixture of oats and field peas preserved with approximately one hundred pounds of molasses per ton of green material showed that the major portion of the fermentation process ...

Journal of Dairy Science, 1997 An experiment was carried out to determine the effect of a grass diet and a concentrate supplement on rumen fermentation and nutrient flows to the duodenum. Perennial ryegrass was cut and fed indoors to eight rumen- and duodenum-cannulated Friesian cows with or without 3 kg/d of molassed beet pulp in a randomized design experiment.
