The movement of faecal pathogens from land to surface and ground-water are of great interest because of the public and livestock health implications. Knowledge of canopy structure and how it might be managed to help mitigate nutrient and pathogen movement in pasture is needed to create management practices that balance livestock production with environmental benefits. An experiment was conducte...

Pangola digitgrass (Digitaria decumbens Stent.) can be used as a pasture grass or it can be harvested as hay. I t originated in Africa and has been in t roduced to other tropical and subtropical areas of the world. Winchester and Haysl ip (5) repor ted that the grass e l iminated populat ions of the root&not nematode, Meloidogyne incognita acrita Chitwood and Oteifa, 1952. Overman (3) sampled 7...

An assessment is made of the factors influencing high country pastoral production, their degree of science validation and an estimate of their effect on total run production. Fertiliser, and introduced pasture species suited to the rate of fertiliser input are the main avenues for increased biological productivity; and stock nutrition and breeding as the means of producing a specialised product.

scientists call pasture a natural eco-system and range is an agricultural eco-system. in this point of view although pasture that was full of plants growing by itself and not growing by human being (pirdashti, 2007; mohgadam, 2005) and two groups of living beings such as human being, plants, domesticated, and not living being like weather, wind, gradient which are effective in making of pasture...

Numerical and spatial components of dispersion, and the activity of pukeko (Porphyrio p. melanotus) in swamp and pasture in coastal Manawatu, New Zealand, are describeed. Pukeko are concentrated in few locations during the autumn population peak, but are widely scattered in spring when the population size is minimum. Flocks are consistently larger in pasture than swamp; those of up to ten birds...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of herbage allowance on pasture DM consumption by growing European wild boar. An additional objective was to evaluate the influence of pasture consumption on supplemental diet intake and BW gain. A previously sown grass-clover pasture was managed by cutting to obtain an herbage mass equivalent to 1,500 kg/ha DM. Areas of pasture were limite...

Studies on the rate and accumulation of aboveground biomass and C have been conducted in native tree plantations of Costa ...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to identify communities arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in soils under pasture, silvopasture, and Cerrado forest ecosystems, evaluate the effects land use system, soil texture, seasonality on dynamics AMF communities, Alta Floresta D'Oeste, Rondônia, Brazil. Samples 0-20 cm layer were randomly collected each ecosystem July, 2010 (dry season) January, ...

The data on the genetic and spatial subdivision of populations synanthropic species small mammals, their dependence intensity with territories distant-pasture cattle tending are presented, some patterns indicators ectoparasite infestation communities revealed. factor determining differentiation mammals can be attributed to relationship ungulates that has long historical roots (Neogene, Anthropo...

improved pasture establishment in plants, especially in arid and semi-arid is very important application of biological fertilizers in pasture can be considered as a useful approach. that is one of the sources of the symbiotic fungus.. the purpose of the present study was to investigate the possibility of enhancing seedling establishment and growth rate of bromus kopetdaghensis under natural hab...
