WARM SEASON GRASS ESTABLISHMENT ON LIMESTONE-AMENDED COAL SLURRY

Effect of Various Herbicides on Warm-season Grass Weeds and Switchgrass Establishment

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is typically slow and difficult to establish. Field experiments evaluated switchgrass establishment and the response of warm-season grass weeds (large crabgrass [Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop.], broadleaf signalgrass [Urochloa platyphylla (Munro ex C. Wright) r.D. Webster], Johnsongrass [Sorghum halepense (L.) pers.], and Texas panicum [Urochloa texana (Buckl...

Strip Planting a Legume into Warm-Season Grass Pasture: Defoliation Effects During the Year of Establishment

Novel approaches are needed for overcoming barriers to successful association of herbaceous legumes with grasses in warm-climate pastures and to identify low-cost, long-term solutions to the problem of N limitation in low-input systems. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate defoliation management options during the year of establishment when rhizoma peanut (rp) (Arachis glabrata Bent...

Establishment, Growth, and Yield Potential of the Perennial Grass Miscanthus × Giganteus on Degraded Coal Mine Soils

Miscanthus × giganteus is a giant C4 grass native to Asia. Unlike most C4 species, it is relatively cold tolerant due to adaptations across a wide range of altitudes. These grasses are characterized by high productivity and low input requirements, making them excellent candidates for bioenergy feedstock production. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential for growing Miscanthus on...
