Effects of bacterial silage inoculants on whole-crop maize silage fermentation and silage digestibility in rams

South African Journal of Animal Science, 2011
This study evaluated the effects of ensiling whole-crop maize with bacterial inoculants, Lactococcus lactis (LL) and Lactobacillus buchneri (LB), on the fermentation and nutrient digestibility in rams. Whole-crop maize (265 DM g/kg) was ensiled for 90 days in 210 L drums with no additive, or with LL or LB.

Satellite assessment of winter cover crop and conservation tillage outcomes to support adaptive management in working landscapes

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of winter cover crops and conservation tillage are agricultural practices promoted to reduce nutrient and sediment loss from cropland, improve soil health, increase infiltration, and support farm nutrient cycling and ecosystem services. However, environmental performance of these practices is variable in the working farm landscape. The

Crop performance and profitability for the initial transition years of a regenerative cropping system in the Upper Midwest United States

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from conventional to more regenerative cropping systems can be economically risky due to variable transition period yields and unforeseen costs. We compared yields and economic returns for the first 3 years of the transition from a business as usual (BAU) conventional corn (Zea mays)–soybean (Glycine max) rotation to an ...

Chemical composition of corn silage produced by scientific studies in Brazil - A meta-analysis

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017
The objective of the present study was to perform a meta-analysis that compared the chemical composition of corn silage produced for different experimental purposes, i.e., by research groups that studied corn silage (SCS) or by research groups that only ...

Improving nitrogen management in US agriculture: Yield Reserve versus land retirement

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract Pressure to protect and restore water quality continues to drive demand for greater reductions in nitrogen (N) loads from US agriculture. Researchers have been evaluating agricultural production choices along both the extensive and intensive margins to improve ecosystem services.

Silage from heart-of-palm waste produced from Alexander palm tree

Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2019
Background: Production of heart-of-palm from Alexander palm tree generates a waste that could be used as silage for feeding ruminants. Objective: To evaluate the chemical composition, fermentation parameters, and quality of silage made from waste of ...

Multiyear changes in snowmelt phosphorus runoff with soil P drawdown or application of struvite to an organic forage crop

Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.
Abstract In this study, changes in P runoff losses from three field‐scale small watersheds in the Northern Great Plains region (Manitoba, Canada) under organic management were evaluated over a 7‐year period (2017–2023). A perennial forage crop was grown through this time period, either with biennial addition of a slow‐release fertilizer to maintain ...

Acidification of Biogas Residues Stimulates Manganese Uptake in Wheat

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Efficient application of organic fertilizers contributes to resource‐efficient agriculture. Acidification of liquid manure effectively reduces ammonia (NH3) emissions. However, the effect of acidification on other plant nutrients, such as Mn, often a yield‐limiting nutrient in cereal production, is not well understood.

High‐throughput methods for measuring protein extractability in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaves

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Most components from the roots of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) are valorized by industry. However, the leaves are currently left on the field, even though they contain large amounts of protein. To support leaf protein valorization, high‐throughput methods and phenotyping tools were developed to facilitate the selection ...
