Abstract Establishing forage in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantations has the potential to increase grazing acreage for cattle farms in the Mid‐South, but appropriate species selection still requires investigation. The objective was to evaluate forage mass, accumulation, and nutritive value of four perennial forage species, novel‐endophyte tall ...

Evaluating soil amendments for establishment of centipedegrass sod
Abstract Soil amendments are frequently incorporated prior to turfgrass sod installation to improve rooting and establishment; however, these materials represent a substantial cost to contractors, sod producers, and homeowners. Despite the widespread use of compost, topsoil, and sand, limited information exists on whether these amendments provide ...

Purification of eutrophic water by ryegrass
The present study was carried out to investigate the growth characteristics of different ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) cultivars and their ability to remediate eutrophic water using floating plant-bed technology. Greenhouse and lake experiments were conducted to evaluate the grass genotypes for water remediation.

ABSTRACT Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea) is susceptible to Ascochyta blight (AB). Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotic root colonizing fungi that exchange soil nutrients for photosynthetic carbon. AMF form common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs), connecting plant roots and transferring nutrients.

The effect of ryegrass mosaic virus on carbon assimilation and growth of ryegrasses
SUMMARYThe growth of simulated swards of Italian and perennial ryegrass, artificially infected with ryegrass mosaic virus (RMV) or RMV‐free, was investigated. During the build up of RMV infection, dry‐matter yield was usually decreased in infected swards, and the effect was confirmed when single vegetative regrowths of swards were investigated in ...

Characterizing How Community‐Level Plant Functional Traits Impact Soil Microbial Diversity
ABSTRACT Introduction Functional trait‐based approaches have been suggested for designing functionally diverse plant communities to influence soil microbial community structure and diversity. However, it remains unclear how species‐level plant functional traits (PFTs) and microbial associations translate to community‐level functional trait and soil ...

Germination Requirements and Management Implications for Kyllinga gracillima (False Green Kyllinga)
ABSTRACT Understanding weed biology, particularly factors influencing seed germination, can help develop effective weed management strategies. This research evaluated the effects of temperature, light, and water stress on the germination of Kyllinga gracillima (false green kyllinga). Seeds collected in Indiana (IN) and New Jersey (NJ) were subjected to
