The performance of perennial ryegrass in binary mixtures with lucerne and red clover under n fertilization [PDF]

Biotechnology in Animal Husbandry, 2017
Perennial ryegrass is a very important and widespread grass species used for livestock nutrition, in particularly ruminants. As a species that is most commonly used on grasslands, it is grown in mixtures with other types of grasses and legumes.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Empirical prediction of organic matter digestibility in grasses, legumes and their mixtures from dairy farms in Atlantic Spain

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This study characterized the chemical composition and organic matter digestibility (OMD) of herbage from commercial dairy farms in Galicia (NW Spain), a humid‐temperate Atlantic region, and developed empirical prediction equations for OMD based on routine wet‐chemistry traits.

Low pyrrolizidine alkaloid levels in perennial ryegrass is associated with the absence of a homospermidine synthase gene

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are a class of secondary metabolites that function as feeding deterrents in a range of different plant species.

Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

Loss of Stability for Blood Urea Nitrogen in Cattle Serum Samples Stored for 3 and 6 Months at −20°C and −80°C

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Biological samples are stored for delayed or add‐on analyses. However, storage conditions, including time and temperature, can affect the stability of measurands in the samples. Objectives To assess the stability of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in cattle serum samples.
