Digitaria Milanjiana Ley Pasture For Banana Cropping In Tropical North Queensland, Australia, T J. Hall, G D. Walduck, R W. Walker
Digitaria Milanjiana Ley Pasture For Banana Cropping In Tropical North Queensland, Australia, T J. Hall, G D. Walduck, R W. Walker
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The burrowing nematode (Radopholus similis) is a major economic pest of bananas in the wc;t tropics of Queensland. It is expensive to control, reduces banana yields and can reduce the economic life of a crop. Current pasture grasses cannot be used in leys because they are hosts to the nematode. Introduced pasture grasses (143 accessions) were evaluated for their environmental adaptation, burrowing nematode resistance, and weed control and erosion protection ability. Digitaria milanjiana CPI 59745 was the most successful accession and it was released as cultivar Jarra. Establishment methods for planting stolon material were developed.

Yields And Nitrogen Contents Of Maize Receiving Fertilizer Nitrogen Or After Alfalfa And Red Clover, M Collins
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Two experiments compared alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and red clover(Trifolium pratense L.) genotypes for supplying N to an ensuing maize (Zea mays L.) crop. A non-fixing alfalfa genotype, which nodulates but fixes no N, served as a control crop. Nitrogen-fertilised maize received 0, 7S, ISO or 22S kg/ha of N annually as NH4NO3• Maize was seeded into I-year-old legume stands killed by N• (phosphono-methyl) glycine isopropylamine. Non-fixing alfalfa yielded 6 t/ha of forage in the first year compared with 9 t/ha or more for normal cultivars. Two-year mean maize grain yields after Dart alfalfa were 9.2 t/ha and …

Prospects For More Sustainable Cropping Systems In Central Italy Based On Subterranean Clover As A Cover Crop, F Caporali, E Campiglia, R Paolini
Prospects For More Sustainable Cropping Systems In Central Italy Based On Subterranean Clover As A Cover Crop, F Caporali, E Campiglia, R Paolini
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
A range of possibilities for increasing long-term sustainability of cropping systems in the mediterranean environment of central Italy is presented, supported by experimental evidence on the use of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) as living mulch and green manure in a common cash crop rotation (wheat-sunflower). The annual self-regenerating legume proved to have potential for inducing a significant shift towards a less energy-intensive management of such.a specialised cropping system, and also provided innovative and flexible patterns of crop sequences. Tillering capacity of wheat turned out to be a crucial element for sub clover living mulch to act successfully on …

Performance Of Ley Farming Systems Including Annual Legumes And Mixtures Of Legumes With Grasses At Cukurova In Turkey, V Tansi, T Saglamtimur, H Baytekin
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Ecological conditions in Cukurova are favourable for production of various crops, including cotton and wheat, so cotton monoculture or cotton-wheat rotation systems have been common for many years. These monoculture systems have brought some soil and pest problems into .Cukurova. To improve the livestock production, intensive dairy units were established, However, half of these were later liquidated since the livestock husbandry was unprofitable, compared with cash cropping. The most limiting factor was the high purchase cost of fodder. Ley fanning is an alternative system in which crops are alternated on the same land to obtain fodder without reducing yields of …
Effect Of Tillage On Regeneration Of Annual Pasture Legumes In Cereal-Livestock Farming Systems, E D. Carter, P G. Fulwood
Effect Of Tillage On Regeneration Of Annual Pasture Legumes In Cereal-Livestock Farming Systems, E D. Carter, P G. Fulwood
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The self-regenerating annual pasture legumes, mainly Medicago spp. (medics) and Trifolium spp, (clovers), are important components of annual pastures on millions of ha in the mediterranean climatic zones of the world. We have shown that tillage practices for cereals and other crops have a severe effect by reducing legume density and productivity after a cropping sequence. Deep-burial of pasture legume seed by disc ploughing and mouldboard ploughing is most detrimental, as a high percentage of seed is buried too deeply to allow emergence, while normal scarifying at 6-8 cm causes little loss of potential legume seed germination and seedling emergence. …
Predicting The Emergence Of Annual Pasture Legumes In Cereal-Livestock Farming Systems Of South Australia, E D. Carter, P G. Oorter
Predicting The Emergence Of Annual Pasture Legumes In Cereal-Livestock Farming Systems Of South Australia, E D. Carter, P G. Oorter
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Annual pasture legumes (mainly Medicago spp. and Trifolium spp.) are the basis of sustainable farming systems in the cereal-livestock distcicts of South Australia. However, several factors in the cropping and pasture phases deplete legume seed reserves. While total legume seed reserves measured during summer and autumn after a cropping sequence are a useful guide to legume regeneration, the readily germinable seed (i.e., soft seed) is a much beUer guide. We have developed a simple but accurate method of predicting natural regeneration of legume pastures based on the controlled watering of representative sites on stubble paddocks during the summer-autumn period as …
Potential Suitability Of Spontaneously Reseeing Stylosanthes Spp. For Ley Farming In The Central Chaco Of Paraguay, A Glatzle
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Continuously cropped regosols in the semi-arid Central Chaco are deficient in organic matter and prone to wind erosion. Ley-farming with self-regenerating legumes may be a sustainable alternative land use. In a 2-year field trial Stylosanthes hamata cv. Verano (V) and a 1: 2 mixture of S. humllis cv. Paterson and S. guianeuis var. intermedia cv. Oxley (P+O) were tested for their: preceding crop values to silage sorghum (S) as compared with continuously cropped S; and potential to recover spontaneously after a reduced tillage intermediate crop of S with weed control (we) or with the voluntary style underseed allowed to grow …

Role Of Ley Farming In Crop Rotations In The Tropics, M A. Mohamed Saleem, M J. Fisher
Role Of Ley Farming In Crop Rotations In The Tropics, M A. Mohamed Saleem, M J. Fisher
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Is there a role for ley farming in the agricultural changes desired across the tropics? Hopes were high after the identification of suitable traits for leys in tropical legumes, Despite agroclimatic-suitability similarities for a wide range of tropical crops and forages, socioeconomic conditions vary across the tropics. Increasing debt problems and low prices for agricultural commodities constrain many countries, particularly in tropical Africa, to achieve the needed agricultural growth rates at the current levels of inputs and subsistence land-use practices, Tropical agriculture's inability to meet the growing demand for food is further compounded by declining land productivity and rapid population …
Is Ley Farming In Mediterranean Zones Just A Passing Phase?, T G. Reeves, M A. Ewing
Is Ley Farming In Mediterranean Zones Just A Passing Phase?, T G. Reeves, M A. Ewing
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Ley farming in southern Australia has changed dramatically in the past decade or so. The present version is a more flexible, adaptive one that includes crop legumes, nitrogen fertiliser, direct drilling, and stubble retention. This has resulted in much longer phases of cropping between pasture periods, causing some to designate the new system as "phase farming". Su.ch changes are critical not only in Australia, but also elsewhere, when considering the development and adoption of ley farming in mediterranean-type regions. While the effects of traditional Icy-farming on soil fertility and crop, pasture and livestock production have been well established, there is …

Increasing The Germination Of Seed Of Fine-Stem Stylo (Stylosanthes Guianesis Var. Intermedia) Using A Heated, Rotating Cylinder, Colin J. Paton
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Scarifying pasture legume seed to reduce hard seed content can improve pasture establishment. A heated, rotating cylinder suitable for treating large quantities of seed was used to test the effect of a range of heat doses (measured in cumulative degree-seconds of treatment above 90°C and expressed as degsecs>90°C) on seed of fine-stem stylo (Stylosanthes gulianensis var. lmermedla), Heat doses ranged from O to 1500 degsecs>90°C, A heat dose of 450 degsecs>90°C, achieved by heating seed at 120°C for 15 seconds in the cylinder, gave the highest germination without increasing the proportion of dead seed. This treatment …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The productivity and persistence of Stylosamhes hamata cvs, Verano and Amiga and S. scabra cv. Seca were compared in small swards in 20 dry tropical environments over periods of 2-4 years, For consistently high production Verano and Amiga appear to require tropical environments with >760 mm average annual rainfall even though they survive in regions with 500 mm. Seca is much more widely adapted than S. hamata, being highly productive and drought resistant in tropical and subtropical environments, but will not survive lieavy frosts. The opportunities for further plant improvement through selection within these species is described. However, the most …

A Flower Color Marker In The Tropical Forage Legume Centrosema Brasilianum (L.) Benth., Brigitte L. Maass, A M. Torres
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Cemrosema brasillianum is a legume with high potential for pasture improvement in the semi-arid tropics with acid and infertile soils. Although genetic improvement for disease and pest resistance is taken into consideration, little is known about the species' breeding ·system. Moreover, no plant character inherited in simple Mendelian fashion has been reported for any Centrosema species. In experiments at Palmira, Colombia, 2 white-flowered accessions were hybridised with 6 violetflowered accessions, each of a different hue. Segregation for flower colourin F2 populations fitted a single gene model,colour being dominant over white, Hence, flower colour is a useful genetic marker, Because segregation …

Research has been conducted globally to investigate the growth and colonization patterns of Pontederia crassipes Mart. This research aimed to examine the impact of varying rates of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) on the growth of P. crassipes and determine the nutrient levels that would result in the greatest growth response. P. crassipes plants were placed in plastic containers filled with 5 L of distilled water. Nitrogen and phosphorus were applied separately at varying concentrations. Specifically, N was added at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 mg L-1 and P at 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9 …
