Establishing Agroforestry Silvopasture Systems In The Missouri Ozark Region, Kara Lynn Powelson
Establishing Agroforestry Silvopasture Systems In The Missouri Ozark Region, Kara Lynn Powelson
MSU Graduate Theses
The Missouri Ozarks is located in the south-central part of Missouri, ranging from the very southwest corner of the state and east to St. Louis. This region is enriched with large dense populations of oak and hickory tree species, while also being occupied with prime forage pastures for livestock grazing. Missouri is ranked second in the nation for farming operations and hay production, while also third in the nation for beef cow number of head (MDA 2021). The objective of this study is to observe the establishment of two separate silvopasture systems: a planted walnut plantation and a converted silvopasture. …
Does Integrating Crops With Livestock Production Impact Soil Properties And Crop Production?, Lindsey Anderson
Does Integrating Crops With Livestock Production Impact Soil Properties And Crop Production?, Lindsey Anderson
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Re-integrating crop and livestock production through cover crop (CC) and corn residue grazing could efficiently utilize resources and ensure profitability while improving environmental quality, but how this integration affects soils and crops is not well understood. We conducted two studies to address this. In the first study, we evaluated the impact of cattle (1.3-3.7 head ha-1) grazing an oat (Avena sativa L.) CC on soil and crop yields in two adjacent irrigated no-till corn (Zea mays L.)-soybean (Glycine max L.) fields on silt loam soils in eastern Nebraska. Field I was grazed twice, while Field …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In this study conducted in Erzurum province's Oltu district Kırdağı location during 2015, 2016 and 2017 concerning the above forest, forest interior and forest edge rangeland sites, the botanical composition of rangeland sites, canopy coverage rate, rangeland condition scores, and comparison of the condition of rangeland and the health class were emphasized. According to the results, although the grass and legume rations in the forest edge rangeland was lower, the others families? ratio was higher than that of the other sites. Hence, it was determined that the ratio of canopy coverage rate was higher in the forest top rangelandsite compared …
