Cover crops improve soil health across termination strategies in organic cropping systems of the Mid‐South United States

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Low soil organic matter and fertility levels are limiting factors for organic agriculture in the Mid‐South US. Integrating cover crops and grazing and reducing tillage as part of the crop rotation may enhance soil health and potentially improve system's profitability and resilience.

Evaluation of Resistance to Fescue Toxicosis in Purebred Angus Cattle Utilizing Animal Performance and Cytokine Response

Toxins, 2020
Fescue toxicosis is a multifaceted syndrome common in cattle grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue; however, varying symptomatic responses potentially imply genetic tolerance to the syndrome.

Sudangrass as companion crop to establish alfalfa–grass mixtures: Effects of seeding rate on seeding and post‐seeding years

Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Sudangrass (Sorghum × drummondii [Nees ex. Steud.] Millsp. & Chase) has recently been introduced in northeastern North America and can be used as a companion crop to establish perennial forages. However, it is reported to reduce perennial species biomass in the seeding and first post‐seeding years compared to other companion species or ...

Effect of stubble height management on perennial ryegrass, tall fescue, and chicory crown temperature

, 2019
Defoliating pasture to shorter stubble heights (height above the soil surface) may increase temperature at the plant crown (plant–soil interface). This is especially relevant to summer C3 pasture production in parts of south-eastern Australia, where ...

Soybean flour as an alternative plant‐based fertilizer for perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort] lawns

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Demand for organic fertilizers has prompted the exploration of different sources of sustainable, plant‐based alternatives for turfgrass lawns. This study evaluated defatted soybean flour as a potential plant‐based fertilizer option for high‐cut turfgrass systems such as lawns, parks, recreational facilities, and commercial landscapes when ...

Global‐Scale Patterns of Host Transitions Suggest Contrasting Levels of Specialization Within Rhizoctonia solani

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We combined a global rDNA‐ITS dataset with TEF‐1α sequences and newly sequenced isolates to examine phylogenetic signal, host associations, and population structure in the soil‐borne pathogen Rhizoctonia solani. Most anastomosis groups formed well‐supported clades, and host‐associated patterns corresponded more strongly with genetic structure than ...

Effects of grass species and harvest date on cell wall components and feed efficiency of dairy cows

Animal
There is a balance between DM yield and feed value when choosing types of grasses on a farm depending on the acreages of farmland and types of ruminants to be fed.
