Comparison between tropical legumes and natural grasses in improving tropical rainforest soil health: a case study in guava (Psidium Guajava L.) orchards [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology
Tropical rainforest soils, or latosols, are distinguished by their low pH and low fertility. In orchards, co-cultivating grass has become popular as a way to improve soil quality and boost fruit production.

Correlation and determination of the Metabolizable Energy (ME) of tropical forage with nutrient content for ruminants

Aceh Journal of Animal Science, 2023
The metabolizable energy (ME) of tropical forages measured by in vivo method in ruminants had a high degree of accuracy but requires a long time and is expensive. One method that can be done is the ME estimation model. The objectives of the present study

Effects of additives containing a novel strain on the fermentation characteristics, structural carbohydrates, and α-tocopherol content of rice straw and corn stover silages

Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture, 2023
A novel α-tocopherol-producing bacteria strain was isolated and identified as Bacillus tequilensis QH1 (QH1). The effects of QH1 strain inoculation alone (QH), combined with cell wall degradation enzyme (QC), or Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp ...

Tropical Grasses—Annual Crop Intercropping and Adequate Nitrogen Supply Increases Soil Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen

Agronomy, 2023
In Brazil, grain crops in no-till soybean–maize succession have reduced biodiversity and carbon input into soil. Intercropping is a promising approach to address these problems.
