Abstract The article provides data based on a four-year study of five cultivation technologies different intensity, including organic. On the example seven crops fodder crop rotation, effectiveness controlling phytosanitary indicators - number and mass weeds, spread diseases insect pests, which are an obstacle to widespread use ecological technologies, was studied. results research made it poss...

Chemical assessments of forage clearly determine the forage quality; however, traditional methods of analysis are somehow time consuming, costly, and technically demanding. Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy (NIRS) has been reported as a method for evaluating chemical composition of agriculture products, food, and forage and has several advantages over chemical analyses such as conducting c...

just below the soil surface, such as crown buds or rhizomes, aids plant tolerance to fire. Timing of spring fire and glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glyFire may not be an option for managing warm-season cine] treatments is critical to control weeds without compromising grasses in densely populated areas of the northeastern production of warm-season grasses. To determine the forage and seed USA w...

This study was conducted at the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences, experimental field University Sulaimani, during growing season 2012 – 2013. The experiment used two methods making silage (pit method and plastic/ bag method) by 18 pits with 100×80×100 cm, plasticbags sized 22 litter. Each silos contained three different forage types: grasses include whole barley oat; alfalfa as legu...

New plant species that can fill these gaps with yrus sativus L. cv. AC-Greenfix) and lentil (Le...

The grass family Poaceae includes annual species cultivated as major grain crops and perennial species cultivated as forage or turf grasses. Heat stress is a primary factor limiting growth and productivity of cool-season grass species and is becoming a more significant problem in the context of global warming. Plants have developed various mechanisms in heat-stress adaptation, including changes...

The paper presents data on the indicators of livestock production, number farm animals and poultry in Tyumen region. characteristics significance near-village forage lands are given. studied assigned to forest-steppe lowland latitudinal-zonal area Kurgan province contain valuable species herbs: Calamagrostis epigejos, Bromopsis inermis, Festuca pratensis, Vicia villosa Roth, Trifolium rubens L....

Grasses (Poaceae) are the fifth-largest plant family by species and their uses for crops, forage, fiber, and fuel make them the most economically important. In grasslands, which broadly-defined cover 40% of the Earth's terrestrial surface outside of Greenland and Antarctica, 40-60% of net primary productivity and 70-98% of invertebrate biomass occurs belowground, providing extensive scope for i...

Seed-borne Epichloë/Neotyphodium Glenn, Bacon, Hanlin (Ascomycota: Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) fungal endophytes in temperate grasses can provide protection against insect attack with the degree of host resistance related to the grass-endophyte symbiotum and the insect species involved in an interaction. Few experimental studies with wild grass-endophyte symbiota, compared to endophyte-infect...

Most important food and feed crops in the world belong to the C3 grass family. The future of food security is highly reliant on achieving genetic gains of those grasses. Conventional breeding methods have already reached a plateau for improving major crops. Genomics tools and resources have opened an avenue to explore genome-wide variability and make use of the variation for enhancing genetic g...
