Timber Talk: Bamboo, Sawdust, and Wood Chips Bamboo, the fast-growing giant of the grass family, is more than just panda food. It's a remarkable feedstock, packed with cellulose and hemicellulose, making it a prime candidate for carbonization. ...
First silage cut is essential for farmers as this cut will provide forage stock for the winter. Although nitrogen is essential to ensure the yield, other elements have to be watched closely, especially phosphorus (P). ...
Soil type is heavy clay and grass crops are heavy in this part of the country. He employs a traditional grazing system plus a zero-grazing regime sourced from between 40 and 60 acres on the farm, depending on yield. ...
“But increasingly we’re seeing this pernicious weed spreading further west each season. Where previously black-grass has not been a big issue in the region, it is now significantly reducing yields. “This year in particular, we’ve witnessed trial work where black-grass plants have yielded more seeds per ...
Laboratory scale mesophilic AD was operated to determine the methane yield from fresh grass and the potential efficiency increase in methane production. Fresh grass as main substrate has been treated in three deferent levels of beating treatment (5–min, 15–min treatment, and 40–min treatment). ...
Irrigation with treated wastewater showed a positive effect on lawn installation through higher growth of grass (1,667 cm) and higher dry matter yield (18,147 g m−2). These results represent a significant increase in the grass yield compared with public water irrigation. The grass height (2,606 cm) and dry matter ...
Vermicompost was produced with Perionyx excavatus and Eudrilus eugeniae using animal manures, leguminous leaves, grass and agro-forestry wastes. Yields of corn fertilised with vermicompost at 5t/ha and rice at 2t/ha of vermicompost were comparable with those for corn fertilised with 100% chemical fertilisers and 40% increase over the control for rice. Chinese ...
Optimum methods to improve perennial grass seed yield are crucial for agronomic practices. Tzvel [Leymus chinensis (Trin.)] seed yield was examined in field experiments from 2005 to 2007 to determine the effects of N application timing (i.e., double-ridge stage, spikelet initiation stage, and later seed-filling stage) and rates (0, 60, 120 kg ...
Recent attention has focused on the use of perennial, warm-season grasses as renewable energy crops. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of N fertilization on partitioning of biomass and nutrients between above- and belowground plant components by four warm-season grass species in Iowa. ...
An efficient and accurate detection of dry matter (DM) yield of legume–grass mixtures can facilitate a targeted and site-specific management of legume-based swards. The major objective of this study was to examine the relationship between spectral signatures of legume–grass swards and DM yield across a wide range of legume ...
In climates where cool seasons can produce a forage crop, annual grasses and forbs can be used on dairies to recycle nutrients back to the animals and to phytoremediate soils high in P or N. In north-central Texas, on a Windthorst fine sandy loam (fine, mixed, thermic, Udic Paleustalf) with 250 mg P kg–1, an on-dairy trial measured yields of dry matter (DM), N, ...
