Adequacy of the tetrazolium test methodology for Stylosanthes capitata Vogel seeds

Journal of Seed Science
: The seed sector is increasingly dynamic and therefore demands rapid decision-making. The tetrazolium test is a rapid test that determines the viability of seeds, especially from species that show slow germination or dormancy.

Seed Pelleting Technologies: Paving the Way for Resilient and Sustainable Future Farming

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed pelleting is an emerging precision‐agriculture technology that transforms small or irregular seeds into uniform units to enhance mechanical sowing, placement accuracy, and early crop establishment. Pelleting performance depends on the interplay among binder–filler composition, pellet structure, and post‐pelleting moisture conditions ...

Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) Generate Grazing Lawns and Maintain Plant Diversity in Neotropical Savanna

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 28, Issue 1, January/March 2025.
We show that excluding native grazers from a South American grassy ecosystem leads to strong declines in plant species richness over an 18‐month period. Our results imply that severely defaunated South American ecosystems have retained plant taxa and functional trait complexes that can tolerate intense herbivory, identifying herbivore reintroductions ...

Evaluating pasture species for less fertile soils in a subtropical aseasonal low rainfall zone [PDF]

, 2014
Grasses, legumes, saltbushes and herbs were evaluated at 6 sites in southern inland Queensland to identify potential pasture and forage plants for use on marginal cropping soils. The region experiences summer heat waves and severe winter frosts. Emphasis

Prescribed burning beneficial or neutral for native herbaceous vegetation in an invader dominated commercially grazed savanna

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.
Abstract Prescribed burning is frequently used in savanna vegetation in Australia and worldwide. In north‐east Queensland savanna burning has been proposed for the control of woody weeds including Cryptostegia grandiflora (rubbervine), an invasive shrub/vine of riparian savanna.

An emergent plant‐parasitic nematode in Brazil: Aphelenchoides besseyi. Current status and research perspectives

Plant Pathology, Volume 73, Issue 3, Page 478-491, April 2024.
We review the biology, life cycle, host range and management solutions of an emergent pathogen in Brazil, all in the context of the landmark events leading to the rise of Aphelenchoides besseyi (Created using Biorender). Abstract Aphelenchoides besseyi is an emerging and yet overlooked plant parasite of many economically important crops, including ...
