Evaluating the ability of perennial ryegrass to continue underpinning New Zealand’s low-cost dairy production systems under future climate change scenarios requires a modelling approach. In this study, projections for different were used in BASGRA pasture model predict changes annual yields and seasonal growth rate patterns ryegrass. These predictions, including uncertainty, made years 2010-201...

Perennial grasses undergo compensatory growth after defoliation. Nitrate is the main nitrogen source for of perennial ryegrass and plays a significant role in plant resistance to stress. The aim study was understand physiological mechanism response defoliation stress under different nitrate supplies explore possible ways alleviate We performed pot experiments where 12-week-old plants grown low ...

turf is one of the most important ground covers and it is one of the main elements ofurban landscape design. plant growth regulators, such as growth inhibitors, are widelyused in turfgrass management to suppress shoot growth and inflorescences production.this experiment was conducted to determine the interactive effects of trinexapac-ethyl(te) and salinity on the growth, visual quality, and che...

Drought and soil salinity reduce agricultural output worldwide. Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can enhance plant growth and augment plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Haloxylon ammodendron, a C4 perennial succulent xerohalophyte shrub with excellent drought and salt tolerance, is naturally distributed in the desert area of northwest China. In our previous work, a bacte...

The fungus Magnaporthe oryzae Couch (anamorph = Pyricularia oryzae Cavara) (previously known as Magnaporthe grisea (Herbert) Barr) (4) causes gray leaf spot disease of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) (12). In recent years, this disease has become a serious but sporadic problem for turfgrass managers in the mid-Atlantic and midwestern United States (9,12,16, 20,22). The disease can cause ...
