Nutritive value of sheep diets made up of hay from Tifton 85 grass and leucaena

Revista Ciência Agronômica
The intake, digestibility, nitrogen balance and energetic balance were evaluated in sheep diets consisting of hay from Tifton 85 grass at two ages of regrowth (28 and 42 days) and hay from leucaena at 40 days of regrowth, in the proportions of 20 and 40%.

UAV‐based RGB and multispectral vegetation indices as alternatives to light box‐derived dark green color index for turfgrass color assessment

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Traditionally, turfgrass color has been assessed through visual ratings or light box‐based digital image analysis, methods that are either subjective or labor‐intensive. In this study, we evaluated the potential of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)‐based multispectral and red‐green‐blue (RGB) imagery as a high‐throughput alternative for capturing ...

Reengineering the Baldree Traffic Simulator for turfgrass wear and traffic research

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Historically, turfgrass researchers utilized the Baldree Traffic Simulator (BTS) to imitate foot traffic for the evaluation of athletic field wear tolerance and performance. Research was conducted to reengineer the BTS “feet” to improve adaptability and compatibility with other aerification units and determine biophysical effects on two native

Should cotton growers apply full nitrogen rate when using broiler‐litter as soil amendment?

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Nitrogen plays a critical role in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production. Interest in using broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) litter has increased in recent years due to its nutrient and soil health benefits. However, growers typically do not discount the N present in broiler litter and apply a full dose of fertilizer N.

Replacement of corn silage with spineless cactus in sheep diet: carcass and meat sensory characteristics

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2020
This study evaluated the effect of replacing corn silage with spineless cactus, in combination with Tifton 85 hay or sugarcane bagasse, on the carcass measurements and sensory properties of the meat of lambs finished in feedlot. Twenty-one, intact, Santa
