Agronomic Evaluation Of Twenty Ecotypes Of Leucaena Spp. For Acid Soil Conditions In México, J. F. Enríquez-Quiroz, A. Hernández-Garay, A. R. Quero-Carrillo
Agronomic Evaluation Of Twenty Ecotypes Of Leucaena Spp. For Acid Soil Conditions In México, J. F. Enríquez-Quiroz, A. Hernández-Garay, A. R. Quero-Carrillo
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
Leucaena leucocephala Lam. (de Witt) has been shown to be a good forage producer and to posses good persistence under grazing conditions in México tolerating well the management of local cattlemen (Quero et al., 2004). The Leucaena genus is native to Central America and Mexico (Hughes, 1998), but L. leucocephala is a low producer under acid soil conditions. The natural diversity is a good source of resistance to acid soil conditions resistance and to other adverse factors. Several Leucaena accessions were evaluated for production under acid soil conditions in tropical Mexico.
Agronomic And Genetic Characterization Of Aluminum Tolerance In A Recombinant Inbred Population Of Sorghum [Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench], Amanda Christine Easterly
Agronomic And Genetic Characterization Of Aluminum Tolerance In A Recombinant Inbred Population Of Sorghum [Sorghum Bicolor (L.) Moench], Amanda Christine Easterly
Open Access Theses
Acid soils are estimated to cover up to 30% of arable soils globally and lead to significant limitations on agricultural productivity, primarily through aluminum toxicity. In sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], significant genetic variation exists for tolerance to phytotoxic species of aluminum; tolerance is conferred through the exudation of citrate at the root tip, binding aluminum in the soil rhizosphere. A gene in the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) family is the primary tolerance locus in sorghum. The purpose of this research was to evaluate a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population of sorghum segregating for SbMATE to establish …

Success With Serradella In The Wheatbelt, Clinton Revell, Bradley Nutt, Michael Ewing
Success With Serradella In The Wheatbelt, Clinton Revell, Bradley Nutt, Michael Ewing
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Clinton Revell, Bradley Nutt, and Michael Ewing review the latest developments with new varieties of French serradella and yellow seradella that should provide the basis for productive legume pastures on acidic, sandy soils throughout the wheatbelt of Western Australia
Serradella Prospects At Esperance, Michael D A Bolland
Serradella Prospects At Esperance, Michael D A Bolland
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Yellow serradells is a promising introduced annual legume suitable for some of Western Australia's well drained sandy acid soils where other pasture legumes failto persist.
In the Esperance area serradella grows siccessfully on some sandy soils more than 0.5 metres deep. I develops deep roots rapidly - up to three times deeper than subterranean clover - and this is probably the main reason for its persistance.
At present only two late maturing, registered serradella cultivars are available to farmers in southern Australia. This article describes research at Esperance to delect earlier flowering cultivars for persistence in areas with less than …
Field Tests Of Some Liming Treatments For Growing Burley Tobacco On Acid Soils, A. M. Wallace, Kenneth L. Wells, J. L. Sims, Paul Gray
Field Tests Of Some Liming Treatments For Growing Burley Tobacco On Acid Soils, A. M. Wallace, Kenneth L. Wells, J. L. Sims, Paul Gray
Agronomy Notes
A major problem in the production of tobacco on acid soils in Kentucky is manganese toxicity, despite the fact that it can be easily prevented. Since manganese toxicity is caused by high levels of soil acidity, prevention of soil acidity by liming is the best method of control. And soil testing is the only way to determine how acid a field has become.
