Interseeding annual warm-season grasses may increase forage and pasture productivity. From 2017 to 2019, we conducted a grazing experiment that examined smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) responses interseeding sorghum-sudangrass [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench × S. ssp. drummondii (Nees ex Steud.) de Wet & Harlan]. The had split-plot design with six main plots each containing two, 0.60-ha ...

The objective this research was to determine the effect of application of multiple grazing management practices at 2 stocking rates (SR) on the productivity and economics of the cow-calf enterprise in the Southeastern United States over a 4-yr period. Pasture management systems included: continuous grazing management at a moderate SR (0.8 ha/cow; CG) without additional forage management, rotati...

Nitrogen is essential for both vegetative and generative stages of plant growth. Nitrogen efficiency is related to plant growth, production cost, and fertilizer residue. Azolla has the ability to increase nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere. Thus, Azolla cultivation in paddy field is one strategy for improving nitrogen fertilizer efficiency and increasing plant vegetative and generative growt...

The effect of different systems of N fertilization on nitrogen balance and N transformation in the soil was studied in long-term stationary experiments (1991–2002) with successive growing of maize. Average dry matter yield for the control without fertilization in the period 1991–2002 was 11.67 t of dry matter per ha, which was by 2–2.9 t less than for fertilization treatments. Statistically sig...

This study was done to evaluate the effect of different planting arrangements (square, lozenge and rectangular) and various concentrations of potassium sulfate (K2SO4) fertilizer (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg/ha) on yield and essential oils quantitative of Calendula officinalis L., a medicinal and ornamental plant. The experiment was done as a factorial in randomized completely blocks design (R.C.B.D...

introduction canary seed (phalaris canariensis l.) is a forage plant from poaceae family. this plant is drought tolerant. canary seed is originally a native to mediterranean region, which can be grown commercially in several parts of the word, especially in semi-arid conditions. increasing growth of population and lack of ability of pastures to satisfy the food requirement of animal has led to ...

An experiment was conducted to test using effluents from intensive hybrid catfish (Clarias macrocephalus × C. gariepinus) ponds as nutrient inputs for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture, which would reduce effluent effects from catfish culture, gain extra fish production at low cost, and possibly make aquaculture more profitable to farmers. Three treatments were done with three replic...
