Agronomic responses and botanical composition of warm‐season annual forages managed under contrasting harvest strategies

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Warm‐season annual (WSA) forages enhance the summer forage supply in subtropical livestock systems. The objective of this study was to determine forage mass (FM), nutritive value, nitrogen (N) yield, and botanical composition in 12 forage mixtures managed under two harvest strategies (simulated grazing vs. baleage). A randomized complete block

Subsoil Carbon and δ13C Spatial Patterns Reveal Land Use Legacy in a Sandy Subtropical Ecotone in Brazil

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage represents one of the most critical ecosystem services provided by soils, yet scientific assessments frequently focus on surface layers, overlooking deeper horizons. In this study, we investigated SOC stocks and spatial patterns of soil δ13C across three contrasting land use and land cover (LULC) types in ...

Generalist With a Narrow Niche Breadth: Feeding Ecology and Seed Germination Effectiveness of a Large Canid Within a Silvicultural Matrix

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Diet: The generalist canid exhibits a narrow niche breadth (0.12), consuming native plants (100% frequency) and animals (85%). Birds dominate animal prey (74%), peaking in the dry season, while Solanaceae plants dominate plant food (100%), peaking in the rainy season.

Intercropping of soybean cultivars with Urochloa [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2014
The integrated crop-livestock system is a key strategy for both grain and livestock production. The cultivation of grass species in between two soybean cropping seasons has been an important component of this system, in Brazil. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the yield of glyphosate-resistant soybean cultivars intercropped with Urochloa species ...

Azospirillum brasilense Inoculation in a Maize–Urochloa–Rice Cropping System Promotes Soil Chemical and Biological Changes and Increases Productivity

Crops
Large quantities of cover crop residues in the soil, combined, or not, with the inoculation of seeds with diazotrophic bacteria, can increase organic matter (OM) and protect soil microorganisms, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate

Grain yield of corn at different population densities and intercropped with forages

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2015
The no-tillage system optimizes agricultural areas, maintaining the supply of straw and promoting crop rotation and soil conservation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate sowing quality and grain yield of corn intercropped with three forage ...

Potential of the Predatory Mites Gamasellodes lavafesii (Mesostigmata: Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) on Different Soil Pests/Parasites and Alternative Prey for Large‐Scale Rearing

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 5, Page 562-572, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Many species of Mesostigmata soil mites have potential as biological control agents of pests/parasites. This study evaluated the predation potential of two of these species, Gamasellodes lavafesii (Ascidae) and Cosmolaelaps mediocuspis (Laelapidae).

Leaf anatomy of Urochloa brizantha and Urochloa ruziziensis (Poaceae) plants subjected to different fertilization management practices

Agronomy Science and Biotechnology, 2022
Brazilian agribusiness is heavily influenced by beef export. Thus, it is important to evaluate the quality and growth rate of forage species used as cattle food. Given that the structural organization of leaf cells and tissues is directly related to forage-plant growth, we aimed to analyze the foliar anatomy of Urochloa brizantha and U.

Repeatability, Genetic Variability and Importance of Forage Traits in Ecotypes of Brunswickgrass (Paspalum nicorae Parodi) via BLUP

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 561-574, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study estimated the repeatability of forage traits in 84 Paspalum nicorae ecotypes using six statistical methods and quantified the minimum number of harvests needed for effective selection. Multivariate analyses based on best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) values were also performed to assess genetic variability, identify key traits ...
