Growing degree days (GDD) is a tool to predict plant growth and can be adapted for use in any species, including cover crops. A limitation of the GDD calculation accurate temperature parameters used development. For most crop cardinal temperatures are not well defined literature, leading less GDD. The objective this study was determine eight Austrian winter pea (Pisum sativum), balansa clover (...

Conservation management practices can improve soil health while minimizing deleterious effects of agriculture on the environment. However, adoption these practices, particularly cover crops, is not widespread, as they often reduce crop yields compared to traditional practices. The purpose current study was determine if a two-species treatment rye (Secale cereale L.) and crimson clover (Trifoliu...

Fusarium pathogens represent a major constraint to wheat and barley production worldwide. To facilitate future comparative studies of Fusarium species that are pathogenic to wheat, the genome sequences of four Fusarium pseudograminearum isolates, a single Fusarium acuminatum isolate, and an organism from the Fusarium incarnatum-F. equiseti species complex are reported.

Cover crops (CCs) are known to influence water infiltration just prior termination, but their effects on over time less known. This study investigated the of CCs in situ CC termination (during April) and again 2 mo after June). The multi-species mixture used included hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.), crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum peas (Lathyrus hirsu...

Biochar has many potential benefits in agroecosystems such as increasing productivity of crops and modifying soil nutrient content. is sourced from waste materials which could easily sustainably remedy current challenges concentrated agricultural operations that use manure-based fertilizers. However, relatively little known about its effects on forage species conjunction with manure or biochar ...

Plants from the genus Trifolium have been used in traditional medicine by many cultures. In Turkish folk medicine, for example, some Trifolium species are used for their expectorant, analgesic, antiseptic properties and also to treat rheumatic aches. Some species are also grown as pasture crops for animals in the Mediterranean. The high quercetin concentration and soyasaponin occurrence make th...

Abstract Field studies were conducted in 2021 Kibler and Augusta, AR, to determine the effect of winter cover crops cultivar selection on weed suppression sweetpotato [ Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] yield. The split-split-plot evaluated three [cereal rye ( Secale cereale L.) + crimson clover Trifolium incarnatum L.)], [winter wheat Triticum aestivum clover], fallow; weeding (with or without); four...

Abstract Cover crops planted in the offseason are subjected to uncontrollable weather variables that limit agro‐ecological services through modifications growth and development. The of five cover crop species was investigated response an array day/night temperatures, 17/9, 22/14, 27/19, 32/24, 37/29 °C. Shoot root parameters were measured 33 d after planting. Quadratic functions best described ...

Abstract Various winter crops can be produced before soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr] in the Southeast United States, however effect of these on productivity and optimum maturity group to use following various remains unknown. This experiment was conducted five environments across North Carolina 2019 2020 understand crop (MG) productivity. Winter investigated included cereal rye ( Secale cereal...
