Summary. Pasture production and steer liveweight gain were compared on native pasture (Bothriochloa decipiens, Heteropogon contortus, Themeda triandra and Chrysopogon fallax) and on native pasture oversown with Indian couch or Indian bluegrass (Bothriochloa pertusa). This grass was not a planned introduction to the area but is spreading in Central and

Effect of Fertilization on Native Grass Pastures in Oklahoma
Journal of Range Management, 1960Attempts to improve native grass areas by fertilization have rarely been successful in Oklahoma. Studies by Elder and Murphy (1958) and Murphy (n.d.) have shown that weeds were increased in native grassland by repeated applications of fertilizer. To obtain additional data on the effect of fertilizers on native grass pastures, studies were conducted in ...

Forage quality of native pastures in a Mediterranean area
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 1997Three field sites in the Hyblean region of Sicily were studied for their forage quality and botanical composition. A total of 70 plant species were analyzed. Another 36 were rare and of insufficient quantity for analysis. Forty-three bulk samples combining all existing species were also prepared and analyzed.

Managing the composition of native and naturalised pastures with grazing
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1996Abstract Many native, naturalised, and low‐input pastures have a low proportion of desirable species. Under the prevailing economic conditions, it is unlikely that these pastures would be replaced with sown native species as there may not be seed of suitable cultivars available and costs would exceed returns ...

Recovery of Native Earthworms in Abandoned Tropical Pastures
Conservation Biology, 2003Abstract: Regeneration of secondary forests is recognized as an important means for the recovery of native species biodiversity in human‐disturbed tropical lands. Native earthworms are often replaced with exotic species after deforestation.

Native forbs interseeded into native grass pastures persist under grazing
Grass and Forage ScienceAbstractIncorporating native forbs within native warm‐season grass (NWSG) pastures has the potential to benefit cattle, pollinators, and wildlife beyond that of NWSG monocultures. However, when grazing NWSG pastures, rotational stocking is recommended as opposed to continuous stocking.

Pastoral value and production from native pastures
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1996Abstract The fundamental importance of maintaining a permanent groundcover of healthy deep‐rooted perennial species is becoming more widely recognised in Australia. While a short‐term increase in animal production can be achieved by replacing an old pasture with a new one, most sown pastures in the high‐rainfall zone have proved to be

Importance of Seed and Microsite Limitation: Native Wildflower Establishment in Non-native Pasture
Restoration Ecology, 2010Barriers to establishing native plant communities on former pasture include dominance by a single planted species, hydrologic and edaphic alteration, and native species propagule limitation. Establishment may be dispersal-limited (propagules do not arrive at the site), microsite-limited (areas suitable for seedling emergence and survival do not exist),

Abstract A large area in the Gulf Coast region of Mexico is pastureland, generally dominated by native grass species, yet little is known of the physical, chemical and biological characteristics and limitations of soils beneath them. Furthermore, nothing is known of the effect of converting native to introduced grasses on the soil ecosystem in ...

The Control of Casha (Acacia spp) on Native Pasture
1992Native pastures, dominated by guineagrass (Panicum maximums and leucaena tLeucaena leucocephalai, provide the basic feed resource for the ruminant livestock industry in the Virgin Islands. However, many of these pastures are in advanced stages ofdeterioration because of overgrazing.
