Molasses Grass Induces Direct and Indirect Defense Responses in Neighbouring Maize Plants [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Ruminal kinetics and nutritive value of Zuri grass silage harvested at different ages and added with powder molasses [PDF]

open access: yesTropical 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)

Melinis minutiflora (molasses grass).

2021
Abstract M. minutiflora is a grass which is used widely as a fodder species for livestock and for its ability to grow well on poor soils, but which is also strongly invasive. It has been introduced intentionally around the world, and also probably accidentally as a seed contaminant.

Ensilage of tropical grasses mixed with legumes and molasses

World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1994
The effects of adding two legumes, Gliricidia sepium and Leucaena leucocephala, cv. Cunningham, and molasses on the fermentation characteristics of silages made from two tropical grasses (Pangola grass, Digitaria decumbens, and Setaria sphacelata cv. Kazungula) were investigated.

Ensiling salt-preserved shrimp waste with grass straw and molasses

Animal Feed Science and Technology, 1998
Abstract Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional and fermentation characteristics of ensiled salt-preserved shrimp waste. In Experiment 1, 7.5% salt-preserved shrimp waste was stored for 6 days then mixed with molasses and perennial ryegrass straw.

Effects of wilting and molasses addition on fermentation and bacterial community in guinea grass silage

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2012
Acetic acid is considered an important preservative in tropical grass ensiling. The objective of the current experiments was to follow the ensiling fermentation of low dry matter (DM) tropical grass as a model to study changes in bacterial communities during acetic acid fermentation.Direct-cut and wilted guinea grass silage was prepared with and ...

Ammoniation or Cane Molasses Supplementation of Tropical Grass Hay

Journal of Production Agriculture, 1990
Molasses‐urea mixtures are often fed with low‐quality hay or stockpiled grass pasture to wintering beef cattle (Bos spp.). Chemical treatment of low‐quality forage may improve fiber digestibility and animal performance more than energy supplementation of the untreated forage.

Ensilage characteristics of three tropical grasses as influenced by stage of growth and addition of molasses

World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1994
When molasses was added during ensilage of three tropical grasses [hamil grass (Panicum maximum cv. Hamil), pangola grass (Digitaria decumbens) and setaria (Setaria sphacelata cv. Kazungula)] the final pH, concentration of fermentation acids (except lactic acid) and NH3-N content were all similar after 100 days of incubation.

The effects of ensiling molassed sugarbeet feed with grass on dairy cow performance

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1991
Silage effluent is a major contributor to farm pollution incidents in the United Kingdom. In 1987, silage effluent was responsible for 26% of all farm pollution cases reported, and 437. Of farm associated water pollution incidents that resulted in prosecution.A practical solution to this problem could be to incorporate absorbent materials into the ...
