Effects of Urochloa humidicola on Plant Diversity in Native Grasslands in a Neotropical Wetland [PDF]

Wetlands, 2015
Studies on species invasion in wetlands are fundamental to understanding the consequences of the introduction of exotic plants, which are often utilized in grasslands. The loss of native plant diversity is of increasing concern. We evaluated the effect of Urochloa humidicola on floristic similarity between native and cultivated grasslands and the ...

Belowground biomass decomposition is driven by chemical composition in subtropical pastures and native rangelands

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 3, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Abstract Litter decomposition, particularly from belowground pools, is a key process controlling the flow of nutrients and the sustainability of native and cultivated grazinglands. This study evaluated in situ belowground decomposition of saw‐palmetto (Serenoa repens [W.

Digital imaging outperforms traditional scoring methods of spittlebug tolerance inUrochloa humidicolahybrids [PDF]

, 2020
AbstractAmerican spittlebug complex (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) is a critical pest for existingUrochloa humidicolacultivars in the neotropical savannas. TheU. humidicolabreeding program of the International Center for Tropical Agriculture aims to increase tolerance to spittlebugs. To developU. humidicolagenotypes with superior tolerance to spittlebugs than

Root development of Urochloa humidicola genotypes in hydroponic system.pdf

, 2023
rochloa humidicola is a stoloniferous perennial grass adapted to acid infertile soils and waterlogged habitats, additionally it is characterized by its high potential for biological nitrification inhibition (BNI). The implementation of agricultural systems with deep rooting capacity is an alternative to improve SOC storage, since the root is the organ ...
