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 ...

Community grown corn growth with Bidens pilosa and Urochloa brizantha

, 2020
Studies on the competitiveness of weed crops allow us to develop strategies for their management, since they can define the characteristics that give a greater competitive ability to the crops. Thus, the objective of this work was to determine the effects of the competition of brachiaria and blackthorn species and the combination of the two in ...

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

Desiccation Periods of Urochloa brizantha ‘Piatã’ Before Sunflower Sowing

Journal of Agricultural Science, 2013
In no-till farming, which integrates crops and livestock, the crop that is sown is often noted for reduced productivity. The aim of this experiment was to study the influence of a desiccation period of Urochloa brizantha ‘Piata’ on sunflower ‘Aguara 4’ development and productivity.

Forage Responses and Beef Cattle Performance in Silvopasture Systems: A Meta‐Analysis of Tropical and Subtropical Regions of Brazil

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Silvopasture systems integrate tree, forage, and livestock components, offering a sustainable intensification strategy that combines environmental and productive benefits, although shading may impose constraints on forage accumulation. This study aimed to evaluate forage accumulation, nutritive value, and beef cattle performance in pastoral ...

Cover Crops Enhance Aboveground Biomass, Soil Biological Activity and Soil Organic Carbon in Tropical Agroecosystems

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 3, July‐September 2026.
ABSTRACT In tropical agroecosystems, soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual is constrained by rapid organic matter turnover and seasonal water limitation. Cover crops are widely used to improve soil C inputs, but their effects on SOC fractions and soil biological activity can vary according to species composition and management duration.

Phytoremediation of soils contaminated with picloram by Urochloa brizantha

Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2014
Picloram is an herbicide that presents a high persistence in the soil and may severely harm crops in rotation and the environment. The phytoremediation of contaminated areas has been investigated in order to decrease the persistence and environmental impacts of this herbicide.

Cover crops and nitrogen rates: Impacts on no‐till corn and soil health in Louisiana

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Use of cover cropping systems to improve soil health is still limited in Louisiana. This study aimed to examine the interaction between cover crops and nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates on crop yield, soil chemical, and biological properties. Winter cover crop treatments, including legumes, a grass and brassica, and a fallow control, were combined
