Evaluation pasture germplasm under different grazing management systems by Mott, G.O.

“…This paper illustrates experimental designs which will provide information on the interactions between forage plants and the grazing animal. The interface between the animal and the plant, especially the effect that the stress imposed by the grazing animal has on plant survival and production, is also discussed.…”

Characterizing herbivore resistance mechanisms: spittlebugs on brachiaria spp. as an example by Parsa, S, Sotelo, G., Cardona, C.

“…Several species of African grasses of the genus Brachiaria are valuable forage and pasture plants in the Neotropics, but they can be severely challenged by several native species of spittlebugs (Hemiptera: Cercopidae).To assess their resistance to spittlebugs, plants are vegetatively-propagated by stem cuttings and allowed to grow for approximately one month, allowing the growth of superficial roots on which spittlebugs can feed. …”

Soil mineral N dynamics and maize grain yields following Centrosema macrocarpum and Stylosanthes guianensis: Effects of different rotations and varying levels of N fertiliser by Muhr, I., Tarawali, Shirley A., Peters, Michael, Schultze-Kraft, Rainer

“…In one experiment, the two herbaceous legumes were grown using two rotations––short (12 months) with a single forage harvest and followed by early maize; or long (15 months) with two forage harvests followed by late maize. …”

Ex-ante impact assessment of feed interventions in smallholder dairy production systems in the Southern Highlands of Tanzania by Osele, Vivien

“…Introduced forages had an indirect positive impact on income, especially when the new forage plot was planted on un-cultivated land and thus hardly any opportunity costs occurred. …”

Puccinia stylosanthis on Stylosanthes spp. in Brazil by Lenné, Jillian M., Sousa Costa, N.M. de

“…Although not common in May 1983, rust severely affected 50% of S. aurea and moderately affected most S. guianensis var. pauciflora plants in May 1984. Because the latter species is a promising tropical forage legume in the savannas of Brazil and Colombia, the need to evaluate existing germ plasm collections for rust resistance is stressed.…”

Effects of leaf beetle herbivory on pollination success and fruit development in woodland strawberry Fragaria vesca by Malm, Lisa

“…Hand pollination caused an increase in weight for Rügen plants and decrease of deformations for both plant types, suggesting that pollen was limited. …”

What do domestic livestock eat in northern Patagonian rangelands? by Villagra, Edgar Sebastian, Pelliza, Alicia, Willems, Priscila Mabel, Siffredi, Guillermo Lorenzo, Bonvissuto, Griselda

“…For the rest of the herbivores studied, this forage class was important in spring–summer diets, but insignificant in the winter samples. …”

Organic vs. conventional : comparative study on pollinating insects and their efficiency in white clover fields by Johansson, Szilvia

“…To restore and conserve biological systems while keeping the food supplies on an acceptable level, there is a demand for organic practice in the agriculture sector. 75 % of the plants for human consumption and animal forage are dependent on animal pollination therefor it is equally important to increase the variety of the cultivated plants and find sustainable solution that is relatively cheap to grow. …”

Feed resources availability, utilization and marketing in central and eastern Tigray, northern Ethiopia by Tesfay, Y., Gebrelibanos, A., Woldemariam, D., Tilahun, H.

“…The contribution of improved forage plants is not as expected and forage genetic material multiplication sites are operating with insufficient budget and manpower, and not supported by proper research. …”

El suelo como factor ecológico en el desarrollo de la vegetación en el centro-oeste del Brasil by Alvim, P. de T., Araujo, W. A.

“…The authors conclude that the distribution of cerrado within its phytogeographic region is apparently controlled by the soil more than by any other ecological factors. The cerrado plants are apparently tolerant to soils low in calcium content and with low pH, where typical forest trees and good forage plants cannot grow. …”

Assessment of feed resources in Welayta Sodo by Tolera, Adugna, Said, A.N.

“…However, the farmers have the tradition of supplementing their animals with leaves and shrubs of various wild and domestic plants, household wastes and left overs. Chemical analyses of the various wild and domestic plants commonly used as supplementary feed by the farmers in Welayta indicated that these plants are potentially useful dry season supplements to crop residue and natural pasture based diets. …”

Malondialdehyde content as a potential biochemical indicator of tolerant Cenchrus ciliaris L. genotypes under heat stress treatment by Tommasino, Exequiel Arturo, Griffa, Sabrina Mariana, Grunberg, Karina, Ribotta, Andrea Noemi, Lopez Colomba, Eliana, Carloni, Edgardo José, Quiroga, Mariana Paola, Luna, Celina Mercedes

“…At 30 d after sowing, half of the plants (control plants) were transferred to growth chambers (28°C day per night), and the other half (pre‐treated plants, Prt) were exposed to heat stress treatment (0, 24, 48 and 72 h; 45°C day per night). …”

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of the endophytic fungus Acremonium implicatum associated with Brachiaria grasses by Abello, J.F., Kelemu, Segenet, García, C.

“…Acremonium implicatum is a seed-transmitted endophytic fungus that forms symbiotic associations with the economically significant tropical forage grasses, Brachiaria species. To take advantage of the endophyte's plant protective properties, we developed an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system for Acremonium implicatum, using green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression and vector pSK1019 (trpC promoter) or pCAMBIA1300 (CaMV35S promoter). …”
