Grasses, Volume 4, Issue 2

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of different nitrogen sources (urea, compost, and digestate) on N2O and CH4 emissions and the forage production of Piatã grass in tropical pastures, with the aim of identifying the fertili...

Fertilizer application is a critical component of turfgrass management as it influences growth, color, stress tolerance, and overall quality. However, limited information exists on how fertilizer application, particularly nitrogen (N), affects hybrid...

In integrated crop–livestock systems (ICLSs), grazing intensity and crop rotation influence residue dynamics, making it essential to assess shoot and root contributions to soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) inputs. This study aimed to assess the...

Bermudagrass is a warm-season turfgrass commonly grown in drought-prone areas. Harnessing natural genetic variation available in germplasm is a principal strategy to enhance its resilience to drought stress. This study was carried out to assess the c...

Botanical richness and diversity play crucial roles in regulating ecosystem functions and contribute to the sustainable intensification of perennial grasslands. This approach can be achieved through simultaneous or partial production of grasses in th...

The cattle sector plays a critical role in Peru’s agricultural economy, yet it faces challenges related to low productivity and environmental degradation. Sustainable alternatives like silvo-pastoral systems (SPSs) offer promising solutions to...

This study evaluated the phosphorus use efficiency (PUE) in two genotypes and one cultivar of Brachiaria decumbens (HD1, HD4, and Basilisk) and the productive, morphogenic, and structural responses. The experimental design used was randomized blocks...

Previous studies in the Salado River Basin (Argentina) demonstrated that the introduced forage species, Lotus tenuis Waldst. & Kit. ex Wild. (Fabaceae), possesses high tolerance to abiotic stresses—including flooding, alkalinity, salinity,...

Silvopastoral systems, integrating trees, forages, and livestock, are recognized as a sustainable approach to livestock production. This study evaluated the effect of shade vs. open-field conditions on the yield and nutritive value of Brachiaria decu...

Erratic rainfall and extended dry periods challenge forage production and livestock feed sustainability in dryland agriculture regions. This study investigated the effects of planting dates and genotype selection on the nutritive value and in-vitro d...
