Ecophysiology of Pennisetum clandestinum: a valuable salt tolerant grass
Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2013a b s t r a c t High concentrations of sodium are toxic to most plant species, making soil salinity a major abiotic stress for plant productivity world-wide. Its salinity resistance makes the turf grass Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst (kikuyu grass) a candidate plant for utilization and reclamation of salinized areas. Kikuyu grass, a perennial native to

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.

Physiological mechanisms for the rapid growth of Pennisetum clandestinum in Mediterranean climates
Weed Research, 1996Summary Pennisetum clandestinum Hochst ex Chiov. (kikuyugrass) is a C4 grass that has become an invasive weed in temperate climates. We examined ecophysiological mechanisms that have allowed it to become a successful weed in these locations by comparing P. clandestinum and two other common turigrass species, Festuca arundinacea Schreb. (tall fescue cv.

Low Temperature Induced Male Sterility in Male-Fertile Pennisetum clandestinum
Science, 1961Controlled environment studies of Pennisetum clandestinum showed that at 10°C stamens of the male-fertile strain were not exserted from the floret although stigmas emerged normally. At higher temperatures both stamens and stigmas were exserted.

Evaluation of Basta on Kikuyu grass(Pennisetum clandestinumchiov.), in Kenya
Tropical Pest Management, 1990Abstract Basta, a new non‐selective contact herbicide, was screened for bio‐efficacy in comparison with Roundup and Gramoxone against Kikuyu grass. The efficacy of Basta increased with increased rates and frequency of application. Overall, Roundup at the commercial rate (6 litres/ha), gave better weed control than all rates of Basta tested except 6 ...
