Essential Oils as In Vitro Ruminal Fermentation Manipulators to Mitigate Methane Emission by Beef Cattle Grazing Tropical Grasses. [PDF]
Molecules, 2022 There is increasing pressure to identify natural feed additives to mitigate methane emissions from livestock systems. Our objective was to investigate the effects of essential oils (EO) extracts star anise (Illicium verum), citronella (Cymbopogon ...

Exudation of organic acid anions by tropical grasses in response to low phosphorus availability. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 It has been suggested that some tropical grasses can acquire phosphorus (P) from hematite and gypsite by exuding organic acid anions (OAs). However, it remains to be determined exactly which OAs could be involved in each case. The objective of this study

Urochloa Grasses Swap Nitrogen Source When Grown in Association with Legumes in Tropical Pastures
Diversity, 2020 The degradation of tropical pastures sown with introduced grasses (e.g., Urochloa spp.) has dramatic environmental and economic consequences in Latin America. Nitrogen (N) limitation to plant growth contributes to pasture degradation. The introduction of

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 BiologyTropical 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.

Methane emission from tropical savanna Trachypogon sp. grasses [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2006 Methane flux measurements from the soil-grass system were made during the wet season in unperturbed plots and plots where standing dry and green Trachypogon sp. grasses were clipped to just above the soil surface. Results support the surprising discovery

Effects of timing of nitrogen fertilizer application on responses by tropical grasses
, 2021 Timing of nitrogen (N) fertilizer application can influence grass regrowth, so it is important to identify how tropical grasses respond to delays in applying fertilizer after defoliation.
