Forage conservation in sub‐Saharan Africa: Review of experiences, challenges, and opportunities

Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 1, Page 75-99, January/February 2022., 2022
Abstract Forage conservation is an important potential solution to seasonal variation in feed quality and quantity and herder‐farmer conflicts in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). Considerable variations exist in the type of forages conserved and the preservation methods across SSA. Hay from cultivated forages is commonly made with mechanical mowers and balers

Maize and sorghum root growth and yield when intercropped with forage grasses

Agronomy Journal, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 4900-4915, November/December 2021., 2021
Abstract Integrated crop–livestock systems that intercrop forage crops with grain crops are effective for increasing forage production and improving nutrient cycling and soil health. However, the potential for root competition when maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] are intercropped with forages in sandy soils is unknown. The

Agronomic performance of sunflower intercropped with Urochloa ruziziensis

Científica, 2018
Sunflower cultivation is a viable alternative for the second crop in Campo Novo do Parecis, state of Mato Grosso; however, its low contribution to the land cover after harvest is an obstacle for the practice of the no - tillage sys­tem, which favors the maintenance of straw on the soil.

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.
