Lasting Effect of Urochloa brizantha on a Common Bean-Wheat-Maize Rotation in a Medium-Term No-Till System

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
Grass intercropping under no-till is an option to increase crop residues on the soil surface and crop diversity. Urochloa spp. is frequently selected for intercropping to improve land use and agricultural production because of its high residue production,

Grass species and climatic season impact on Rhipicephalus microplus temporal abundance in a tropical region. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...
