Nitrogen (N) uptake of managed turfgrasses in sand rootzones is of particular importance as it relates to reducing N leaching, reducing or maximizing N fertilizer applications, and optimizing overall plant quality. Two greenhouse experiments were con...
Savanna ecosystems of the Sahel are heavily affected by climate change, leading to drier subtropical regions. These ecosystems play a fundamental role in food security of the region, so that an improved understanding of how these ecosystems are affec...
Bidens pilosa L. is a cosmopolitan and invasive weed that strongly impacts agricultural systems in tropical regions. In Veracruz, Mexico, its presence extends mainly across mid-elevation zones where coffee, maize, and sugarcane are cultivated. This s...
The use of plant growth simulation models, such as the Agricultural Crop Simulator (AgS), can support planning and management decisions in pasture-based animal production systems. AgS is a biophysical model that is being developed to focus on crops r...
Numerous studies indicate that the Tibet Autonomous Region’s grasslands have experienced widespread greening since remote sensing data became available. While climate warming and moistening can drive this trend, there is growing interest in qua...
This study aimed to assess the potential of machine learning models applied to high spatial resolution images from UAVs for estimating the aboveground biomass (AGB) of forage grass cultivated in the Brazilian semiarid region. The fresh and dry AGB we...
Achieving satisfactory levels of weight gain for developing replacement beef heifers is challenging when utilizing toxic endophyte-infected tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus) as the primary forage. This is due to the intensifying impact of ergot...
Thinopyrum intermedium (c.n. intermediate wheatgrass), marketed under the trade name Kernza, is a promising species for perennial grain production based on seed size, ease of threshing, resistance to shattering, and grain quality. Although numerous g...
The yield and quality of biomass produced in a growing season determine feed allocation, livestock performance, and system capacity and resilience. Congo grass (Urochloa ruziziensis, UR) and Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana, CG) are important grass speci...
Gamba grass (Andropogon gayanus Kunth) is a promising forage alternative for Brazil’s Cerrado regions, attracting increasing research interest due to its potential to complement or replace widely planted species such as Urochloa and Megathyrsus...
