Limited influence of nest site vegetation on female wild turkey survival during incubation

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Resource quality in heterogeneous environments directly underlies individual fitness. Gallinaceous birds, such as female eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris), face significant reproductive challenges, particularly predation risk associated with ground nesting.

Assessment of the Efficiency of Combined Seeding Rates of Common Vetch and Ryegrass for Controlling Weed Development in Organic Forage Cultivation Systems

Life
Weed suppression is a crucial factor in sustainable agriculture, and optimizing plant mixtures can enhance weed control efficiency. This study evaluates the effects of different mixture ratios of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) and annual ryegrass (Lolium

A 3D Model of Ryegrass Shoot Architecture, Sward Light Interception and Photosynthesis

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.
Increasing the photosynthetic capacity of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is required to improve the productivity of pastoral farming in temperate regions. A three‐dimensional (3D) model was constructed of the shoot growth of ryegrass based on plant morphological traits such as tiller angle, leaf angle, leaf width, number of tillers per plant ...

Microbial mechanisms controlling the rhizosphere effect of ryegrass on degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in an aged-contaminated agricultural soil

, 2017
The phytoremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) depends on plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere, but the extent and mechanisms of these effects are still unclear.

Behaviour Identification in Farmed Red Deer (Cervus elaphus) Using Wearable Activity Collars

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.
Wearable sensors such as accelerometers have shown promise in identifying a range of behaviours in ruminant livestock for welfare and production purposes. The research and production of wearables have primarily focused on delivering to the dairy and beef cattle industries.

Managing the Environmental Impacts of Outdoor Winter Grazing by Livestock

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.
This review presents a synthesis of current knowledge about managing the potential impacts of outdoor animal wintering activities and their consequences for a range of environmental outcomes. The scope is confined to field‐based wintering approaches and thus, does not consider issues associated with the winter use of animal shelters or standoff systems.

Interaction Between Nitrogen Forms, Phosphorus Forms, and Mineral Phases Drives Phosphorus Limitation and Uptake by Ryegrass in a Model System

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, Volume 189, Issue 4, Page 593-604, August 2026.
Nitrogen addition shifts plant nutrition from nitrogen to phosphorus (P) limitation. Nitrate‐based nitrogen enhances P acquisition more effectively than ammonium through increased phosphatase activity, independently of pH changes. Organic P forms induce stronger P limitation than inorganic P.

Effects of Epichloë festucae var. lolii on heavy metal stress tolerance of its perennial ryegrass host

Grassland Research
Background The endophyte Epichloë festucae var. lolii forms mutualistic symbiosis with perennial ryegrass, and their relationship under heavy metal stress needs to be more clearly defined. Methods This study assessed the growth and physiological response

Investigating the Mechanism of Cadmium-Tolerant Bacterium Cellulosimicrobium and Ryegrass Combined Remediation of Cadmium-Contaminated Soil

Plants
Cadmium (Cd) pollution has been rapidly increasing due to the global rise in industries. Cd not only harms the ecological environment but also endangers human health through the food chain and drinking water.

Analysis of glutamine synthetase target‐site mutations and their role in endowing glufosinate‐ammonium resistance

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7633-7644, August 2026.
GS2.2 G255D mutation conferred enzyme‐level glufosinate insensitivity but no whole‐plant resistance, showing trade‐offs between catalytic function and herbicide binding and providing a baseline for future studies on target‐site glufosinate resistance.
