Integrated crop–livestock systems that intercrop forage crops with grain are effective for increasing production and improving nutrient cycling soil health. However, the potential root competition when maize (Zea mays L.) sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] intercropped forages in sandy soils is unknown. The objectives of this study were (a) to evaluate growth characteristics grasses (b) quan...

Ruminant husbandry constitutes the most important source of anthropogenic methane (CH4). In addition to enteric (animal-derived) CH4, excreta are another source of CH4, especially when stored anaerobically. Increasing the proportion of dietary concentrate is often considered as the primary CH4 mitigation option. However, it is unclear whether this is still valid when diets to be compared are en...

Temperature changes occur in nature faster than other stressors. Plants due to inability to move and change their position, are exposed to extensive variations in daily or seasonal temperature, and therefore, should quickly and effectively adapt to temperature stress. In order to study the effects of heat stress on physiological traits of forage maize hybrids, a factorial split plot experiment ...
