Pyrolysis Improves the Effect of Straw Amendment on the Productivity of Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.)

Agronomy, 2020
The use of straw as a soil amendment is a well-known and recommended agronomy practice, but it can lead to negative effects on the soil and crop yield.

Rotating perennial forages into annual wheat cropping systems: Correlations between plant available soil and grain mineral concentrations

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2022
Correlations between plant available soil and grain mineral concentrations are often assumed, yet few studies examine these associations. Here, soil and wheat grain samples were analyzed from a semi‐arid dryland cropping study in the northern Great ...

Soil Nitrate Nitrogen Content and Grain Yields of Organically Grown Cereals as Affected by a Strip Tillage and Forage Legume Intercropping

Plants, 2021
Reducing tillage intensity and increasing crop diversity by including perennial legumes is an agrotechnical practice that strongly affects the soil environment. Strip tillage may be beneficial in the forage legume–cereals intercropping system due to more

Anatomical and morphological features, and productivity of six perennial wheat varieties in the agroecological conditions of the Almaty region, Kazakhstan [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Wheat plays a leading role among cultivated crops. However, some anatomical features of the perennial wheat leaf blade structure, cell development, and metameric stem segmentation remain poorly understood.

Perennial alternative crops for biogas production increase arthropod abundance and diversity after harvest - results of suction sampling and metabarcoding

European Journal of Entomology, 2023
The effects of novel perennial energy crops on arthropod abundance and diversity were tested using three field trials in Bavaria. Established cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum), Virginia mallow (Sida hermaphrodita) and tall wheat grass (Thinopyrum ponticum)

Agronomic Performance of Perennial Grain Genotypes in the Palouse Region of the Pacific Northwest, USA

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2019
Annual plants are currently the dominant growth habit for grain production systems but often create agroecosystems with negative environmental consequences.

Changes in Soil Microbial Community along a Chronosequence of Perennial Mugwort Cropping in Northern China Plain

Agronomy, 2022
Perennial cropping plays a vital role in regulating soil carbon sequestration and thus mitigating climate change. However, how perennial cropping affects the soil microbial community remains elusive.

Breeding Perennial Grain Crops Based on Wheat

Crop Science, 2017
Wild relatives offer a diversity of traits potentially useful in crop improvement. Identification of major genes for resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, in conjunction with targeted introgression, has introduced some of these traits into cultivated varieties. The difficulty of transferring complex traits, and associated linkage drag, has limited

Desirable characteristics in perennial Triticeae collected in China for wheat improvement [PDF]

Hereditas, 2008
Perennial Triticeae in China contain an enormous gene pool that has a great potential for wheat improvement. Collecting expeditions to 12 provinces of Northern China have been carried out. It has been found that most collections of Agropyron mongolicum, A. cristatum, A. desertorum, and Leymus chinensis, h.

Prior Forage Type Influences Ruminal Responses to a Wheat Grain Challenge in Lactating Dairy Cows

Animals, 2021
To increase the dry matter and metabolisable energy intake of cows, dairy farmers often supplement pasture with concentrates and conserved fodder. Feeding large amounts of highly fermentable concentrates to cows can result in metabolic issues, such as ...
