Soil amendment effects on field‐saturated and unsaturated hydraulic properties of sodic soils

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Soil sodicity degrades soil structure and restricts water movement by promoting clay swelling, dispersion, and surface sealing, thereby reducing infiltration and hydraulic conductivity. This study aims to evaluate the effects of four soil amendments (elemental sulfur, gypsum, compost, and humate) on the hydraulic conductivity of sodic soils ...

Does rotational bale grazing affect the distribution of soil nutrients across pastures?

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Rotational bale grazing (RBG), the strategic feeding of round hay bales directly on pasture with controlled access, offers an alternative to continuous winter hay feeding in a single paddock. This study evaluated RBG's potential to redistribute nutrients by increasing soil concentrations in field areas with lower phosphorus (P) and potassium ...

Chemical control strategies for Poa annua in managed turfgrass systems

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Poa annua L. is a widespread and persistent weed in managed turfgrass systems, exhibiting both annual and short‐lived perennial growth habits. Effective management requires an integrated approach, with chemical herbicides remaining a primary tool.

Characterization of Proanthocyanidins from Seeds of Perennial Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

, 2016
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) are forage species of the grass family (Poaceae) that are key components of temperate pasture-based agricultural systems.

Evaluation of Electrocution for Weed Control and Tall Fescue Seedhead Reduction in Missouri Pastures

Weed Technology
Despite its efficacy, little research has been conducted to evaluate the potential for electrocution to control common weeds in pastures. Electrocution could also potentially be utilized as a management tool to minimize the production of tall fescue ...

Peanut response following soybean grown full‐season or double‐cropped after wheat in North Carolina

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Including soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] in the previous cropping cycle can adversely affect peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) yield by increasing disease incidence and populations of plant‐parasitic nematodes in the soil. The impact of double‐cropping wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and soybean versus full‐season soybean (referred to as the soybean

Ergot Alkaloids Produced by Endophytic Fungi of the Genus Epichloë

Toxins, 2015
The development of fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë in grasses results in the production of different groups of alkaloids, whose mechanism and biological spectrum of toxicity can differ considerably.

Validation of a portable near‐infrared reflectance spectrometer to determine harvest maturity in grass seed crops

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Seed moisture content (SMC) is the most reliable indicator of seed maturity and the optimal harvest timing in grass seed crops. Current SMC testing methodologies used in grass seed crops are slow or inaccurate, making it difficult to make timely harvest decisions.

Exposure to Ergot Alkaloids During Gestation Reduces Fetal Growth in Sheep

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014
Tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh; Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub] is the primary cool season perennial grass in the eastern U.S. Most tall fescue contains an endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum), which produces ergot alkaloids that ...
