Biosorption of Cr (III) from Polluted Water Using Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst (Kikuyo). [PDF]

Molecules
Given the abundance of kikuyu biomass resulting from the pruning of green areas, the aim of this study was to evaluate its use as a biosorbent (BK) for Cr (III) removal from polluted waters. The biomass was activated using H2SO4 (1.25%) and NaOH (3.25%). The characterization methods were Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron

MicroRNA (miRNA) in Plasma Small Extracellular Vesicles (sEV) as Potential Early Indicators of Dairy Cow Subfertility. [PDF]

J Extracell Biol
ABSTRACT Pregnancy and live birth rates are commonly used metrics to define fertility in humans and animals. The impact of aberrant microRNA (miRNA) expression on fertility‐related genes represents a significant knowledge gap in understanding post‐transcriptional regulatory mechanisms associated with reproductive dysfunction.

PGPB effect on the growth Pennisetum clandestinum under salt stress

Revista Colombiana de Biotecnología, 2016
This research aims the isolation and characterization of bacteria with potential to promote the growth of grass Pennisetumclandestinum in simulated saline soils. 92 Gram positive bacterias were isolated from Rhizosphere soil samples of P. clandestinum. Ten isolated bacteria grew on nutrient agar supplemented with NaCl (2.578 M). Isolates were evaluated

Experiências de adubação mineral e orgânica com Capim Kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst.) [PDF]

Anais da Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz, 1956
Kikuio grass (Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst) is beyond any doubt, a pasture very important for farm animals; since its chemical composition is very similar to that of alfalfa, the present field trial was carried out; a randomized block design with 8 treatments was selected as follows: 1 N - P - K - Ca - Mg (complete manuring) 2 N - P - K - Ca ...

Influence of Acidity on Growth and Biochemistry of Pennisetum clandestinum

Biologia plantarum, 2004
Hydroponics were used to study the impact of acidity on growth, nutritive properties and metabolic changes in kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst). Four treatments (pH 6.0, 5.0, 4.0, and 3.0) were compared for effects on biomass, leaf and root length, crude protein, amino acid content and key enzymes of sugar metabolism.

The accumulation of nitrate in Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst) [PDF]

South African Journal of Plant and Soil, 1987
A study was made of some of the factors responsible for the accumulation of excessive amounts of nitrate in certain Kikuyu pastures. Accumulation, mainly in stem tissue, is the nett result of several contributing processes. Climatic conditions causing a decline in the requirements of the plant for assimilated nitrogenous substances, stimulate ...

A review of pasture mixes and management strategies to reduce the impact of facial eczema in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1265-1287, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In New Zealand, facial eczema (FE) is a serious health and welfare issue for grazing ruminants caused by ingesting toxic spores of the fungus Pseudopithomyces chartarum. A literature review of research about the effect of pasture plant species, farm management practices and associated environmental factors on FE in New Zealand, was undertaken.

Expanding the Resist–Accept–Direct framework for developing nature‐based solutions and societal adaptations to biological invasions

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 7, Page 1505-1520, July 2025.
Abstract Biological invasions threaten biodiversity and human well‐being, making invasive species management a global necessity. Despite substantial investments in engineering‐based management approaches, preventing invasions is becoming harder with rising species introductions.
