Productivity Of Silphium Perfoliatum L. In Low Input Agricultural Systems, G Pichard, R Cussen, F Moore
Productivity Of Silphium Perfoliatum L. In Low Input Agricultural Systems, G Pichard, R Cussen, F Moore
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
There is a large area in the coastal region of southern Chile affected by low productivity of soils and severe climatic limitations, which is owned mainly by small farmers. This research was conducted with dairy farmers producing an average of 20,000 liters/year whose main problem is cattle underfeeding because of severe seasonal cycles in pasture growth and extended overgrazing of natural grasslands of low production potential. Silphium perfoliatum L. is a perennial forage species that grows well during the summer period when grasslands have stopped their growth due to moisture stress and high temperatures. Based on the agronomic results and …
Forage Arachis In Nepal: A Simple Success, A. D. Robertson
Forage Arachis In Nepal: A Simple Success, A. D. Robertson
IGC Proceedings (1997-2023)
Nepali farming systems are remarkably diverse. Livestock play a central role in livelihoods and sustainable farming on most farms. There is a need for productive forage legumes that can fit existing farming patterns and that can be multiplied easily. A wide array of genetic material has been introduced recently into the cropping, cut-and-carry, grazing, and forestry systems, mainly in the Terai (Ganges Plain) and in the "mid-hills" to about 2km ASL. In 1999/2000, 8 lines of Arachis pintoi were introduced from CIAT, and additional A. pintoi and A. glabrata lines from Queensland. The introduced arachis was established on a …
