Abstract:
North-East India is known for its complex, diverse, risk-prone, and fragile hilly ecosystem. Natural resources in terms of soil, water, vegetation, and soil organic carbon (SOC) are much degraded. Effects of long-term perennial grasses maintained at a permanent fodder block of the ICAR Research Complex, Meghalaya, on soil quality were examined after 15 cropping cycles. The aims were (i) to ascertain whether perennial grass primarily maintained as fodder source for ruminants could conserve resources and improve soil quality in the hilly ecosystem of North-East India, and (ii) to select a suitab

Abstract:
Seven- and nine-year studies were conducted in northeastern Saskatchewan to compare the long-term control of aspen poplar (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and western snowberry (Symphoricarpos occidentalis Hook.) following single and multiple applications of 2,4-D ester (2,4-DE) or amine (2,4-DA) mixed with dicamba. The area was bulldozed free of trees and was subsequently invaded by aspen poplar and western snowberry regrowth, native forbs and grasses. Herbicides were applied to 2- and 4-yr-old regrowth of aspen poplar, growing with a small uniform stand of western snowberry. A single application

Abstract:
Plant functional groups with contrasting growth strategies co-occur in semiarid ecosystems. In the northern Great Plains, woody shrubs and grasses interact competitively, with shrubs prevalent on mesic hillslopes. To understand topographic influences on physiological drought acclimation, we measured seasonal photosynthetic water use in C3 shrubs ( Artemisia cana Pursh and Rhus trilobata Nutt.) and grasses ( Agropyron cristatum (L.) Gaertn. and Stipa viridula Trin.) on north- and south-facing slopes. Relationships between abiotic controls and photosynthesis were similar on both aspects, indicat

Erosion is a significant problem on highway embankments in Rhode Island. At present, a mixture of red fescue (Festuca rubra L.), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), and kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is planted to stabilize the soil. However, only the red fescue survives long term on slopes. Red fescue is shallow-rooted, leading to sod sloughing after heavy rains. The objective of this study was to compare the rooting depth, plant height, and adaptation to roadside conditions of 16 native grasses and five amenity grasses with red fescue to identify species that could be used to redu

Plots had been treated with 0, 188 or 376 kg/ha of superphosphate annually, grazed by sheep, and pasture yields were recorded. Ryegrass persisted in all treatments, but was only dominant in the superphosphate treatments, unsown grasses dominated in the no superphosphate treatments. White clover was more common with superphosphate, and both cocksfoot and timothy required adequate superphosphate in order to persist. Over 60 years of measurements, yields

Abstract:
The Sustainable Grazing Systems (SGS) model is a biophysical, mechanistic whole-farm model that simulates pasture production based on climate and soil data. While the SGS model has been extensively used for southern temperate systems, the model has yet to be evaluated for use in the tropical rangeland systems of Australia. New pasture parameter sets were developed in SGS to represent groups of grasses with the following common characteristics: (1) 3P grasses represented tropical rangeland grasses that were perennial, palatable and productive, and (2) annual tropical grasses that include both p

The agricultural region of south-west Western Australia (WA) has a Mediterranean climate, characterised by a winter-dominant rainfall pattern. Perennial subtropical grasses are increasingly being grown to increase productivity and reduce erosion on infertile sandy soils in the northern agricultural region (NAR) of WA, an area with mild winters and dry, hot summers. However, little information exists on the persistence of different species or their expected seasonal production and feed quality.

Abstract Studies were conducted near Tifton, GA to develop weed management systems for organic peanut production. Trials in 2004 and 2005 evaluated row patterns (two levels), remedial weed control (four levels), and cultivation (three levels). Row patterns were wide rows (91 cm apart) and narrow rows (30 cm apart). Remedial weed control was early-season applications of clove oil, citric plus acetic acid, broadcast propane flaming, and a nontreated control. Cultivation regimes were 1X or 2X sweep cultivation and a non-cultivated control. The experimental sites had heavy natural infestations of

Abstract:
Chicory is a highly productive and nutritious forage that is sensitive to grazing. A challenge for grazing management is to prevent pasture decline associated with the replacement of productive species by undesirable weedy species. The competitive ability, persistence and productivity of chicory were investigated under a gradient of grazing management practices ranging from continuous to short grazing–long rest treatments by merino wethers. Chicory density and percentage composition declined after the first year of continuous grazing. The density of chicory in all rotationally grazed treatment
