Effect of molasses on nutritive value and in-vitro digestibility of elephant grass silage

Agricultura Tropica et Subtropica
Ensiling preserving a forage crop and its nutrients to feed later on as silage. In this study, elephant grass was ensiled with varying levels of molasses as an additive to evaluate its effect on the nutritive value and in-vitro digestibility of the ...

Pearl millet demonstrates potential as a forage and cover crop in Wisconsin vegetable systems

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), a crop that is recognized for heat and drought tolerance and ability to suppress root‐lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans), could serve as a suitable forage and cover crop for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and vegetable production systems in Wisconsin.

Biostimulants‐driven improvements in productivity, resource use efficiency and protein yield in pea–barley intercrops

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Biostimulants promote plant growth, nutrient uptake, and drought tolerance, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers. Intercropping, involving multiple crop species on the same land, is a promising practice. In Denmark, pea (Pisum sativum)–barley (Hordeum vulgare) intercrop (PBIC) is commonly used for grain and fodder production.

A comparison of four cover crop species interseeded into early‐season corn using broadcast and high‐clearance drill seeding methods in Ohio

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Cover cropping provides central US corn (Zea mays L.) growers tools for controlling erosion, suppressing weeds, and managing nutrients. Cover crop establishment timing is a key limitation for the adoption of cover crops. Recent early‐establishment efforts have included aerial broadcasting and the use of high‐clearance drills.

Mycotoxin production in different varieties of Dactylis glomerata L. silage in response to biological and chemical additives.

PLoS ONE
Silage has been identified as a source of different microbial toxins, that may impair farm animal health and productivity as human health can also be compromised. In this sense, the aim of this study was to determine the impact of silage additives on the

Forage yield and quality traits of vetch genotypes across two locations in Western Tigray, Northern Ethiopia

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Vetch (Vicia spp.) is a promising forage legume for Ethiopian livestock systems, but limited information exists on genotype performance across diverse environments. This study evaluated forage yield, quality, and agronomic traits of four vetch genotypes (Vicia villosa DZF, Vicia sativa, Vicia dasycarpa, and Vicia atropurpurea) across two ...

Degradation Mechanisms, Encapsulation‐Based Stabilization, and Analytical Detection of Vitamin A

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, Volume 103, Issue 9, Page 1079-1097, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Vitamin A is an important lipid‐soluble micronutrient essential for vision, immune function, and overall growth and development. However, vitamin A is unstable and susceptible to environmental factors because of its conjugated structure and inherent chemical reactivity.

Physicochemical properties, fermentative profile, microbiological quality, and pathogen contamination of baled silage during long‐term storage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 12, Page 7454-7463, September 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Baled silage is expanding in Mediterranean regions due to climate change and demand for high‐quality forage; therefore, evaluating the effects of long‐term storage on microbiological and fermentative quality is essential. RESULTS In this study, 115 baled silages were sampled from different farms at 30, 60, 90, 180, and 270 days ...

Effect of Phosphate Fertilization and Cutting Date Improves Nutritional Status and Productive Parameters of a Tropical Forage Legume

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of chemical fertilizers is economically and environmentally costly to produce and apply. Therefore, optimized fertilizer use is critical to increase or maintain crop yields. We evaluated the productive and nutritional characteristics of the Stylosanthes cv “Campo Grande” submitted to different cutting date and phosphate fertilization ...
