Variations In Nutritive Values Of Two Different Desert Forage Plants Growing In The United Arab Emirate Environment, T. Ksiksi, A. Bamakhrama, M. Satri
Variations In Nutritive Values Of Two Different Desert Forage Plants Growing In The United Arab Emirate Environment, T. Ksiksi, A. Bamakhrama, M. Satri
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
Forage plants in desert environments have to withstand both shortages in resources and over grazing during most years. This variation in resource availability is associated with variation in the nutritive values of the plant species. Moreover, these differences are not only seasonal but also vary between plant parts. Variations in nutritive values in key species, therefore, need to be better understood in order to sustainably feed livestock (Abdurazak et al., 2000), because effective management requires adequate knowledge of the interaction between the animal, the pasture and the environment (Kassilly, 2002). Forage toxicity could, however, cause irreparable damage to production. …
Genetic Variability In Candidate Plus Trees Of Acacia Nilotica--An Important Fodder Tree Under Agroforestry System, S. Vimala Devi, Vishal Singh, A. K. Handa, A. Datta, A. R. Uthappa
Genetic Variability In Candidate Plus Trees Of Acacia Nilotica--An Important Fodder Tree Under Agroforestry System, S. Vimala Devi, Vishal Singh, A. K. Handa, A. Datta, A. R. Uthappa
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
The realization of the effects of climate change redirected the focus on agroforestry, which deals with the management of land use system for increased sustainability. Enhancement of fodder production per unit area per unit time is essential to meet the demand from livestock sector for which different land use systems are being developed. Acacia nilotica is one of the important agroforestry species which fits into in silvipastoral system under agroforestry, in arid and semi-arid regions. It is known as babool, kikkar or Indian gum arabic, which has ability to improve nitrogen content of soil through its interaction with symbiotic bacteria …
Distribution Of A. Modesta, A. Julibrissin And M. Himalayana Gamble In Pir Lasura National Park, Sher Wali Khan, Nafeesa Qudsia Hanif, Madeeha Manzoor
Distribution Of A. Modesta, A. Julibrissin And M. Himalayana Gamble In Pir Lasura National Park, Sher Wali Khan, Nafeesa Qudsia Hanif, Madeeha Manzoor
Journal of Bioresource Management
Pir Lasura National Park (PLNP) in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan is located in the Kotli Forest division and spans across an area of 13,900 acres. The list obtained through this study included 46 tree species of angiosperms, out of which only 3 species belong to the family Mimosaceae; A. modesta, A. julibrissin and M. himalayana gamble. A. modesta had 1.6 % constancy and belonged to class Ⅰ, A. julibrissin had 3.3% relative cover and belonged to class Ⅰ, whereas the relative vegetative cover of Mimosa himalayana gamble was too less to be tabulated. All the three species of the …
Ecology Of Savanna Ecosystems In Indonesia, Sutomo
Ecology Of Savanna Ecosystems In Indonesia, Sutomo
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Tropical savannas in South East Asia are important yet understudied ecosystems. In fact, the description of savanna is limited in the Indonesian Archipelago, a region which, based on climate alone, would be expected to have mostly forest. In this thesis, I compared and contrasted the vegetation characteristics of four savannas in the wetter part of the Indonesian archipelago (Java – Bali – Lombok) to understand how fire and grazing influence their dynamics, and searched for evidence of savanna origins, maintenance, invasion by exotic/woody species and possible ecosystem transitions. Vegetation surveys, remote sensing techniques and statistical models were used to spatially …
Evaluación De Variables De Establecimiento De Ssp De Sombra Y Ramoneo Con Acacia Decurrens, Acacia Melanoxylon, Y Alnus Acuminata, En Bosque Seco Montano Bajo Y Su Efecto Sobre El Suelo Y La Calidad De La Pastura, Diana Barrera Pardo, Maria Antonia Rodriguez Castro

Zootecnia
Se implementó un sistema silvopastoril de sombra y ramoneo en la finca Santa Maria en el Municipio de Sopo; para el cual se utilizaron 3 especies, Aliso, Acacia decurrens y Acacia melanoxylon distribuidos en 27.433 metros cuadrados, se utilizo un diseño de bloques al azar y 2 arreglos con 3 tratamientos para las variables dasometricas T1, (Aliso), T2 (Acacia melanoxylon) y T3 (Acacia decurrens) y para el efecto sobre la pradera 2 tratamientos, T1 con árboles (Aliso, Acacia melanoxylon y Acacia decurrens) y T2 sin árboles (testigo), se evaluaron el crecimiento y desarrollo de los árboles, medidas dasométricas; presencia e …

Direct Seeding Trees On Farmland In The Western Australian Wheatbelt, J P. Piggott, P H. Brown, M M. Williams
Resource management technical reports
Field and nursery experiments were conducted to determine suitable species, weed control methods, sowing times and seeding techniques. Sowing time was the most significant variable evident in the field experiments. Trees sown in the winter months of June and July out-performed later sowing times. Early sowing of trees in areas of low seasonal rainfall appears to offer considerable advantages for successful establishment over late sowing.
