Cost-benefit analysis for on-farm management options of improved forages in western Kenya by Karimi, Peggy, Ugbede, Joseph, Enciso, Karen, Burkart, Stefan

“…These efforts have resulted in positively impacting dairy production due to the availability of high nutritious feeds in forage-cattle systems. However, the emphasis on improving the agronomic aspect of forages has not elevated adoption levels of forages among famers. …”

Non-thermal plasma application improves germination, establishment and productivity of Gatton panic grass (Megathyrsus maximus) without compromising forage quality by Pérez Pizá, María Cecilia, Clausen, Liliana, Cejas, Ezequiel, Ferreyra, Matías Germán, Chamorro Garcés, Juan Camilo, Fina, Brenda Lorena, Zilli, Carla Giannina, Vallecorsa, Pablo Daniel, Prevosto, Leandro, Balestrasse, Karina Beatriz

“…Although NTP markedly increased the shoot dry matter production of the pasture, which was related to higher tiller population density and greater tiller weight, it did not affect the forage quality of the plants grown in the field. We conclude that NTP technology is suitable to improve seed germination of Gatton panic, in turn leading to improvements in seedling establishment and biomass production under field conditions without compromising forage quality.…”

Nitrogen management in grasslands and forage-based production systems—Role of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) by Subbaraoa, Guntur V., Rao, Idupulapati M., Nakahara, K., Ando, Yasuo, Sahrawat, Kanwar Lal, Tesfamariam, T., Lata, Jean-Christophe, Boudsocq, S., Miles, John W., Ishitani, Manabu, Peters, Michael

“…Suppressing nitrification can thus facilitate retention of soil N to sustain long-term productivity of grasslands and forage-based production systems. Certain plants can suppress soil nitrification by releasing inhibitors from roots, a phenomenon termed ‘biological nitrification inhibition’ (BNI). …”
