IgE specific immune responses to an African grass (Kikuyu, Pennisetum clandestinum)
Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 1993SummaryKikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandeminum) is widely used as a grazing pasture in Africa and, although it is extensively cultivated as a lawn for sports fields and domestic gardens, its allergenicity has never been studied in vitro. Using an extract of Kikuyu grass pollen, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Maintaining the nutritive value ofpennisetum clandestinumfor milk production
Proceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1979The amount of milk which can be produced by cows grazing Pennisetum clandestinum (kikuyu) is dependant on several management factors. These factors relate to the nutritive value and intake of the herbage on offer and include palatability, TDN, protein and moisture content. On Kikuyu pastures at Cedara in the Natal mistbelt (bioclimatic gp. 3), grown on

A review of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum) poisoning in cattle
Australian Veterinary Journal, 2007K ikuyu grass ( Pennisetum clandestinum ) is a perennial pasture species with a spring to autumn growth habit. Although it is usually grazed without ill effect, spasmodic incidents of poisoning in cattle 1 and, to a much lesser extent, sheep 2 and goats, 3 have been encountered.

Studies of fluctuations in numbers of Helicotylenchus dihystera in an area of kikuyu turf (32 X 16 m) from March 1974 to May 1975 indicated that: (1) populations within the area fluctuated asynchronously in time (2) such fluctuations were superimposed on a general seasonal trend (3) there were some centres of permanently high and low populations ...

The production potential ofpennisetum clandestinumin the midlands and on the south coast of natal
Proceedings of the Annual Congresses of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1979Growth curves from two sources of nitrogen at levels ranging from 0 kg N to 240 kg N/ha indicated DM yields of 2 000 kg/ha to 13 000 kg/ha from Pennisetum clandestinum at various localities in the Natal region. Once the basal requirements of potassium has been met, additional K does not affect kikuyu production.

Nitrogen response and stocking rate of Pennisetum clandestinum pastures: II. Cattle growth
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1974SummaryIndividual live-weight gain (LWG) of Angus weaner cattle continuously grazing (Pennisetum clandestinum) pasture was negatively and linearly related to stocking rate (SR) and independent of ammonium nitrate (N) application rate at similar grazing pressures.Live-weight gain varied from 380 to 1056 kg/ha according to N rate in 1970–1 and from 637 ...

Small-scale laboratory silos were used to study the fermentation process of Kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst) silage prepared from grass containing 25% and 40% dry matter. Silage made from grass containing 40% dry matter was found to be better preserved and of better quality than silage made from wetter grass.

Kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum): ‘K-5’
2009‘K-5’ was collected from a well-defined patch of male-sterile kikuyu growing on the Darling Downs, QLD. It was evaluated in a breeding population of 27 male-sterile kikuyu genotypes collected from regional sites across southern and eastern Australia. ‘K-5’ was initially selected because of its more decumbent and shorter habit of growth, its high tiller
