A role for phytosiderophores by Poaceae to acquire phosphorus in severely phosphorus‐impoverished habitats

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study demonstrates that several native grasses employed phytosiderophores not only for Fe acquisition, but probably also to mobilise P in their natural severely P‐impoverished habitats, supported by concomitant carboxylate exudation. These findings expand our understanding of integrated P‐acquisition mechanisms in Poaceae within nutrient‐limited ...

Death of pastures syndrome: tissue changes in Urochloa hybrida cv. Mulato II and Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2017
Abstract The quality of forage production is a prerequisite to raising livestock. Therefore, income losses in this activity, primarily cattle raising, can result in the impossibility of economic activity. Through the qualitative and quantitative anatomical study of Urochloa hybrida cv. Mulato II and U. brizantha cv.

A Meta‐Analysis Reveals That the Protective Role of Silicon in Grasses Against Fungal Pathogens Depends on Infection Mechanism

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5947-5964, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

Associative diazotrophic bacteria and forage legumes sustain brachiariagrass pasture performance through enhanced root traits

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Interest in microbial plant growth‐promoting processes, particularly biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF), has increased globally as a strategic alternative to mineral N fertilization. Understanding the response of root traits to diverse N sources plays a critical role in unraveling canopy dynamics and improving decision‐making in forage ...

Farmers’ evaluation and economic viability of Urochloa grasses grown on Nitosol and Vertisol in middle elevations in Ethiopia

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales
This field study was carried out in the Ethiopian mid-elevations on Vertisol and Nitosol to determine effects of fertilizer use and identify more productive Urochloa grass varieties and cultivars based on farmers' variety evaluation and partial budget ...

Plant growth‐ promoting bacteria inoculation and co‐inoculation effects on Palisade grass (Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu) in ferralsol in Amazonas State, Brazil

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Deforestation is primarily driven by three main factors the conversion of the Amazon rainforest into pastureland, agriculture, and mining, as well as land invasion. These pastures are mostly degraded, and it is necessary to restore their productive capacity. Microbial inoculants can be used to increase nutrient use efficiency. The objective of

Managing soil acidity and carbon emission in crop systems

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Liming is essential for achieving high crop yields in tropical acidic soils, but lime dissolution releases CO2, whereas silicate slag does not, while gypsum improves subsoil fertility. Although the benefits of these amendments for soil fertility are well known, their combined effects on CO2 emissions and soil carbon (C) accumulation in ...

DESENVOLVIMENTO INICIAL DO ALGODOEIRO QUANDO SUBMETIDO À COMPETIÇÃO COM GRAMÍNEAS

Colloquium Agrariae, 2018
Um dos fatores que comprometem o rendimento do algodoeiro cultivado, mesmo em cultivo em diferentes épocas de semeadura é a interferência exercida pelas plantas daninhas.
