This research was conducted to investigate in situ degradation characteristics of maize, sorghum and sorghum-Sudan grass hybrids. whole plant of maize (TTM-815, DK-711), sorghum (SS-506, FS-5) and sorghum × Sudan grass hybrids (P-988, Grazer N2) were grown under semi-arid conditions and harvested at different maturity stages (mid-flowering (MF), milk-line (ML) and hard-dough (HD)) and ensiled. ...

Brown midrib (BMR) is a genetic mutation in several grass species. The BMR gene reduces lignin content in plant cell walls and vascular tissue and improves fiber and whole plant digestibility. Lignin is mostly indigestible and plays a critical role in forage quality by affecting digestibility of cell wall polysaccharides. Lignin also plays in important role in plant rigidity. During the past se...

It is possible to solve the problem of productivity and improve gross harvest agricultural products by introducing new varieties hybrids adapted conditions cultivation into production. The diversity varietal composition sorghum crops necessitates a careful approach in selection varieties. This especially important for North Caucasus region, which characterized contrasting natural climatic condi...

Uptake of improved sorghum varieties in the Sudan Savanna of West Africa has been limited, despite the economic importance of the crop and long-term investments in sorghum improvement. One reason why is that attaining substantial yield advantages has been difficult in this harsh, heterogeneous growing environment. Release in Mali of the first sorghum hybrids in Sub-Saharan Africa that have been...

that ‘Coastal’ hybrid bermudagrass receiving 670 kg N ha 1 and 153 kg P ha 1 from swine effluent removed Five warm-season annual grasses were compared for dry matter an average of 382 kg N ha 1 yr 1 and 43 kg P ha 1 yr 1. (DM) yield and nutrient uptake alongside bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] on a Brooksville silty clay (fine, montmorillonitic, Adeli and Varco (2001) found that ‘Ali...

For some years the Seed-Testing Laboratories of the Bureau of Plant Industry has been using daily alternating temperatures for the germination of certain seeds. In these alternations the lower temperature is used about 18 hours and the higher temperature about 6 hours of the day. Alternating temperatures are found especially favorable for the germination of the seeds of certain grasses: Johnson...

The aim of this study was to determine the silage quality and in situ degradability silages prepared with addition grape pomace into variety sorghum-sudan grass as rapid fermentable carbohydrate source. Grape obtained at region ensiled sorghum- sudan grown Keskin Fodder Plants Production Processing Facility same period levels 0, 10, 20 40%. Glass jars (1L) were used for ensiling silages. Four s...

Soil cover is a major factor in the cultivation of creeping tomatoes, especially for natura consumption. This study aimed to determine combination suitable tomato hybrid and soil cover, resulting superior production performance quality attributes fruits. Tomato hybrids (Fascínio Thaíse) were cultivated on five types (uncovered soil, plastic mulch, sorghum, Sudan grass, pearl millet). The data s...
