Fecal degradation and nutrient loss of manure from cattle offered four bermudagrass cultivars
Abstract Bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) is one of the most common warm‐season perennial grasses utilized in the southeastern United States for pasture or stored forage. However, there is a paucity of data evaluating the fecal nutrient losses overtime by cattle grazing different bermudagrass cultivars.

Cover cropping increased nitrogen use efficiency indices in silage cropping systems
Abstract Excessive and inefficient use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in cropping systems can harm the environment, soil, and human health. Cover crops can improve soil health over time, but their impact on nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is not fully understood.

Seeding rate and reseeding potential of ball clover in binary mixtures with annual ryegrass
Abstract Legumes can form symbiotic associations with rhizobia and fix atmospheric nitrogen (N), contributing N to forage systems when grown in mixtures with non‐N‐fixing species. Ball clover (BC; Trifolium nigrescens Viv.) is a cool‐season annual legume with strong reseeding potential due to its production of hard seed.

Abstract Angular leaf spot (ALS; Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci) has become an increasingly important disease in dark tobacco [Nicotiana tabacum L.] production since 2015. Current recommendations for controlling ALS include selecting dark tobacco varieties with low ALS susceptibility and using agricultural streptomycin.

Economics of controlling a spreading environmental weed [PDF]
Weeds can cause significant problems to natural ecosystems. Although there have been numerous studies on the economics of weed control, relatively few of these studies have focused on natural ecosystems. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by

Effects of irrigated cover crop cultivation period on common bean and soybean yield
Abstract Cover crop inclusion is essential for improving soil management in tropical no till systems; however, the optimal duration of irrigated off‐season cultivation remains uncertain. This 3‐year field study evaluated nine cover crop species or mixtures and four cultivation periods (60, 75, 90, and 105 days) on biomass production, soil chemical ...

Enhancing spring green‐up of warm‐season turfgrasses through late‐winter scalping
Abstract Rapid spring green‐up of warm‐season turfgrasses in the transition zone is often desired to improve early‐season turfgrass quality, thereby increasing the acceptance of these species in arid and semi‐arid climates. This study evaluated the effects of late winter scalping on spring green‐up speed in 41 cultivars of bermudagrass (Cynodon spp ...

Screening bermudagrass genotypes for improved forage production
Abstract Cynodon is a diverse genus of great economic importance to the southeastern United States. However, the bermudagrass stem maggot (BSM; Atherigona reversura Villeneuve) is threatening bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) throughout the region. Long‐term solutions require the development and release of BSM‐tolerant bermudagrass genotypes.
