Forage crop–dairy farming is an important agro-industry across the world. This system intensive with high-input forage crops. In United States (US) Southern Great Plains, based primarily on annual grass-type crops in monocropping approaches and requires diverse low-input broadleaf for strengthening its sustainability. Winter canola (Brassica napus L.) pea (Pisum sativum have potential to provid...

A 2 x 2 x 2 factorial experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of fat type (beef tallow [50 g/kg diet] or canola oil [50 g/kg of diet]), carbohydrase addition (none or carbohydrases [0.4 g/kg diet]), and lipase addition (none or lipase [0.2 g/kg of diet]) on growth performance and nutrient utilization of male broilers fed a wheat-based diet from 5 to 18 d. The carbohydrase supplement co...

Aim Pollination plays a crucial role in the conservation of many plant species persisting fragmented, human-dominated landscapes. Pollinators are known to be instrumental maintaining genetic diversity and metapopulation dynamics for important providing ecological services that essential agricultural landscapes where populations native plants highly isolated. Numerous studies have explored value...

Phalaris brachystachys is a common and troublesome weed in winter cereals in Mediterranean countries. A deterministic model was developed to simulate P. brachystachys seedbank dynamics in the wheat-sunflower rotation, a commonly practiced cropping system in southern Spain, under different herbicide-based management scenarios: no herbicide application, full herbicide dose (standard rate) and two...

Cold-pressed canola cake is a coproduct of biodiesel production that contains more residual oil than expeller-pressed and solvent-extracted canola meal. Cold-pressed canola cake might be an attractive feedstuff for swine due to local availability from small plants. However, the nutritional quality and content of anti-nutritional factors of cold-pressed canola cake are poorly defined and vary wi...

Abstract Quantitative evaluation of the response crop yield and water productivity (CWP) to future climate change is important prevent or mitigate adverse effects change. This study made such an for agricultural land over Heihe River basin in northwest China. The ability 31 models simulating precipitation, maximum temperature, minimum temperature was evaluated studied area, a multi-model ensemb...

Jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica Host) is an economically important weed in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–fallow production regions of the United States. Few options exist for management of jointed goatgrass in winter wheat due to the close genetic relationship between the two species. This research evaluated use of imazamox herbicide (2-[(RS)-4-isopropyl-4methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-...
