Abstract The article presents the analysis of technical means for collecting seeds desert pasture fodder plants. type is chosen and ways its improvement are outlined. Information about machine implementing technology given. material reflects specifics arid pastures.

One of the problems in seed production pasture forage plants is low germination. Existing improvement technologies and technical means for production, harvesting, post-harvest handling, storage are analysed. Suggestions improving germination have been developed: it advisable to place crops between forest belts; improve germination, necessary make a preliminary harvest with spreading mass on stu...

The major insect pest of Australian cool temperate pastures is the root-feeding insect Heteronychus arator (African black beetle, ABB). Significant pasture damage can occur even at low ABB densities (11 individuals per square meter), and often re-sowing of the whole paddock is required. Mitigation of the effects of pasture pests, and in particular subterranean species such as the larval form of...

Many studies have identified drivers of deforestation throughout the tropics and, in most cases, have recognised differences in the level of threat. However, only a few have also looked at the temporal and spatial dynamics by which those drivers act, which is critical for assessing the conservation of biodiversity as well as for landscape planning. In this study, we analyse land cover change be...

ABSTRACT: In integrated crop-livestock systems, overseeding annual summer pastures over grain crops can reduce forage shortages in autumn without altering production. This study evaluated the influence of pearl millet (Pennisetumglaucum L.) and sudangrass (Sorghum Sudanese) overseeded on a soybean (Glycine Max) crop or no-tillage seeding after harvest productive aspects pasture. The experimenta...

In eukaryotic organisms, the correct regulation of sister chromatid cohesion, whereby sister chromatids are paired and held together, is essential for accurate segregation of the sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes into daughter cells during mitosis and meiosis, respectively. Sister chromatid cohesion requires a cohesin complex comprised of structural maintenance of chromosome adenosin...
