Perennial Legumes And Grass-Legume Associations Adapted To Poorly Drained Savannas In Tropical South America, B Grof, D Thomas, R P. De Andrade, J.L F. Zoby, M A. De Souza
Perennial Legumes And Grass-Legume Associations Adapted To Poorly Drained Savannas In Tropical South America, B Grof, D Thomas, R P. De Andrade, J.L F. Zoby, M A. De Souza
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Seasonally flooded areas and swamp grasslands constitute a significant percentage ot the savannas and represent an important source of supplementary forage during the dry season. Approximately 21 % (170 million ha) of the central lowlands of tropical South America is poorly drained ; 82 % of these lands (139 million ha) is covered with forest and the remaining 31 million ha by native savannas (Cochrane et al.,1985). The poorly drained savanna lands have been used successfully since colonial times for extensive cattle production. Significant areas are found in the Brazilian Pantanal, in Brazil's southwest Amazonia, the Casanare plains of northeast …
The Effect Of Nitrogen And Clover Proportions On Yield Of Red Clover-Grass Mixtures, B E. Frankow-Lindberg
The Effect Of Nitrogen And Clover Proportions On Yield Of Red Clover-Grass Mixtures, B E. Frankow-Lindberg
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Red clover is the most important forage legume in Swedish ley farming (c. 500 tonnes of seed certified in 1986/87). It is traditionnally sown with a mixture of grasses, typically timothy and meadow fescue. Recommendations for maximum DM yields, obtained from extensive series of experiments, given no fertilizer nitrogen (Bengtsson, 1964; Arnemo and Steen, 1972) are 4-6 kg/ha red clover seeds ( of a diploid cul ti var) in a mixture of totally 20-24 kg/ha seeds sown. Red clover content in the established sward declines with time from c. 60 % in the firstyear crop to c. 25 % in …

Some Changes In Biological Soil Characteristics Of Grassland Ecosystem Under Different Management Intensity, L Ondrasek
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The papers which are in our country engaged in problems of soil biological processes under treated seminatural grassland are orientated mainly on the determination of quantitative and qualitative extents of changes originated especially under influence of application of increasing level of nitrogen fertilizers in relation to possible negative phenomenons in environments (Kopcanova et al., 1985, Tesafova and Gordienko, 1988). Our paper deals also with those problems. Its aim is to give a short information about some important changes in biological soil properties under long time differently managed grassland.

Many of you are visitors to this country. This afternoon you saw something of an industry quite different from yours back home. The objective of my talk is to help you identify what these differences are and why they exist. By the end of the day you should have a picture of how one industry • the dairy industry • has integrated a whole range of systems into a successful whole.
Regrowth Sites Of Sulla (Hedysarum Coronarium L.) After Defoliation, H Krishna, P D. Kemp
Regrowth Sites Of Sulla (Hedysarum Coronarium L.) After Defoliation, H Krishna, P D. Kemp
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Sulla is a semi-perennial herbaceous forage legume which has rarely been used for grazing. Field studies were undertaken to determine the relative importance of regrowth sites on sulla so that guidelines for grazing management could be refined. Regrowth was predominantly from the crown and most stems remaining after grazing subsequently died. It is concluded that grazing management should be severe and infrequent but, because regrowth is from the crown, treading damage needs to be avoided.

Science And Information For Our Grasslands, G A. Nores, R R. Vera
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
This paper favours a view of grasslands, and agricultural research in general, that extends well beyond the limits of the scien1ific cummunity and promotes the active involvement of scientists in current societal debates from a ��cientific perspective. It is argued that in developed counuies environmental concerns rather than production growth will tend to dominnte future social debate, In developing countries there is a need to balnnce agricultural growth with responsible management of natural resources. Needs for new technology go beyond improving biophysical efficiency, and involve economic and social efficiency objectives. The relevance of grassland research is ��ssessed in terms of …

Nitrogen Fixation And Transfer To Associated Grasses By White Clover Cultivars Under Dairy Cow Grazing, S F. Ledgard
Nitrogen Fixation And Transfer To Associated Grasses By White Clover Cultivars Under Dairy Cow Grazing, S F. Ledgard
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
New Zealand pastures obtain most of their nitrogen (N) from fixation of atmospheric N2 by white clover (Trifolium repens L.). Grasslands Huia has been the predominant cultivar used, but in recent years a number of new cultivars have become available. Studies under mowing and sheep grazing have shown that the large-leaved cultivars are the most productive (van den Bosh et al., 1986; Frame and Boyd, 1987). These cultivars have not been evaluated under dairy cow grazing. This paper describes a 2 year field experiment examining white clover cultivars under dairy cow grazing for production, N2 fixation and transfer of …

N-15 Study Of Nitrogen Uptake By Tall Fescue Throughout A Spring Growth, J Salette, Marie-Laure Decau, Francoise Vertes
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
In previous works, nitrogen uptake by a grass sward during regrowth has been studied and modelled (Salette and Lemaire, 1981 ; Lemaire and Salette, 1984). In this study, the use of N- 15 labelled fertilizer allows differentiation of two nitrogen sources for the plant nutrition : soil and fertilizer.

Seasonal Variations In Soil Mineral Nitrogen And In The Response Of Grassland To Nitrogen Fertilization, O Oenema, J Postmus, W H. Prins, J J. Neeteson
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Grassland is intensively used in the Netherlands. According to the fertilizer recommendation, the optimum N supply for such grassland is 250 kg ha-1 yr-1 for well-drained peat soils and 400 kg ha-1 yr-1 for all other soils. Environmental problems, associated with N losses from intensively used grassland, necessitate a refinement of the general recommendations. This, in turn, requires understanding of the dynamics of soil mineral nitrogen. This paper reports on (1) seasonal dynamics of soil mineral N and (2) seasonal variations in the response of cut swards to N. Results of grazed swards will be dealt with elsewhere (Oenema et …

Ammonia Volatilisation And Loss From Grassland Systems, S C. Jarvis, B F. Pain, D J. Hatch, R B. Thompson
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
There is considerable interest in monitoring flows of nitrogen (N) through various parts of grassland systems. Until recent developments in methodology it had been particularly difficult to assess the contribution of NH3 volatilisation to N cycling. Emission rates for NH3 over Europe are thought to have increased by 50 % over the past 30-40 years and to arise largely from livestock excreta. This occurs after the hydrolysis of excreted urea and, with cattle, takes place directly from grazed swards, animal houses (during overwintering) and stored or applied slurry. As well as the economic losses, NH3 fluxes have important environmental consequences …

The Effects Of Fertilizer/Urine Interactions On Nh3 -N Losses From Grassland Soils, R D. Meyer, S C. Jarvis
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Recent studies (Black et al., 1984) have indicated that the volatilisation of ammonia (NH3) from urea granules broadcast on to pastures at application rates of 50-100 kgN/ha often exceeds 20 % of the N applied. The extent of this loss becomes an important consideration when manipulating management systems to maximise N efficiency and minimise losses to the environment. This will become especially important as the use of urea fertiliser increases because of relative cheapness and as technological advances in production and in farm handling are made (Gould et al., 1986). The factors influencing the volatilisation of urea in simple systems …

Nitrogen Losses From Cattle Dung, Y Sugimoto, P Roger Ball
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Nitrogen (N) recylcing through animal excreta has long been considered beneficial to soil fertility in pasture. However, it was revealed recently that substantial N loss occurred via urine patches in intensively managed grass-clover pastures in New Zealand (Ball et al, 1979 and 1981; Ball and Ryden, 1984). Nitrogen flow through dung patches is another main process in N recycling, as one-third to a half ot the N excreted by cattle and sheep is voided in dung (Whitehead, 1970; Sugimoto et al, 1987). The objective of this research was to determine the nitrogen losses from cattle dung in a ryegrass-white clover …

Balances Of Forms Of Mineral N In Grazed Grassland Soils Impact Of N Losses, S C. Jarvis, J H. Macduff, J R. Williams, D J. Hatch
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Improving the efficiency of nitrogen (N) utilization and reducing losses requires an understanding of N transformations in soils. A key process is nitrification, which qualitatively and quantitatively determines the fate of NH4 +. This is especially important in grazed grassland where returns of urinary N provide a large supply of NH4 +. After grazing has finished there may be accumulations of N which, if nitrified, will be lost by leaching (freely drained soils) or denitrification (poorly drained soils) in temperate regions. Where nitrification is restricted, opportunity for loss is correspondingly less. Field measurement of nitrification is difficult because of interactions …

Effect Of Mineral Nitrogen On Dry Matter Yield And Nitrogen Fixation Of Four Stylosanthes Spp. In Antigua, A Belal, K J. Marshall
Effect Of Mineral Nitrogen On Dry Matter Yield And Nitrogen Fixation Of Four Stylosanthes Spp. In Antigua, A Belal, K J. Marshall
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The use of inorganic nitrogen (N) usually increases the legume yield (Pettiet, 1971) and inhibits nodulation and nitrogen-fixation (Dart, 1974). In the tropics, the application of inorganic fertilizer may not always increase the dry matter yield of legumes. Informations on the extent to which the nitrogenfixation is affected are also very few. Present studies were carried out to determine the effect of N on dry matter yield and nitrogen-fixation of four Stylosanthes spp. in a tropical soil.

Comparative Performance Of Two Strains Of Rhizobium Meliloti And Their Transconjugants Having Multicopy Nif Plasmid On Symbiotic Properties Of Alfalfa Under Field Conditions, R P. Gupta, B S. Sidhu, P D. Mehndiratta, R K. Batta
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Rhizobium meliloti has got a single set of 17 nitrogen fixation (nit) genes located in seven different cistrons on megaplasmid. Dixon and Cannon (1976) transferred nif plasmid, RP41 to R. meliloti to see its effect on acetylene reduction efficiency. They found that the transconjugants containing this plasmid were not able to reduce acetylene under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. However, when the plasmid was transferred back to E. coli , it could express itself indicating that K. pneumoniae genes were present in R. meliloti. The failure of the nif genes of K. pneumoniae in R. meliloti may be due to the …

Effect Of Grass And Legume On The Nodulation Of Gliricidia And Leucaena In Dryland Farming Area In Bali, M Suarna, T Ogo, K Lana, W Sukanten, S Putra, I M. Nitis
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Gliricidia and Leucaena are commonly grown in the tropics for shade, fence and fodder (NFTA, 1987). In dryland farming area, Cenchrus and Panicum grasses could reduce the nitrogen (N) status of the soil, while the presence of ground legumes Centrosema and Stylosanthes could increase the N status of the soil (Whiteman et al., 1974). Soil with high N status could reduce nodulation (Buckman and Brady, 1980), while soil with low N status could induce nodulation (Whiteman et al., loc. cit.). The objective of this experiment was to study the nodulation of 2 shrub legumes grown in association with 2 grass …

Effect Of Azospirillum Brasilense Inoculation In Grasses And Binary Associations Lecerne + Grass, C Scotti, L Zannone, M Molinari
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The study of the biological N2-fixation associated with forage crops, legumes and grasses has been started in our Institute since 1983 (Scotti et al., 1985, 1989) in order to define the characteristics of plants and meadow structures highly productive and persistent with low input of nitrate N. Legumes grasses binary associations have been found among the most interesting meadow structures for our regions. For this reason we started to study the system (Grasses - Azospirillum) + (Lucerne - Rhizobium) with the following objectives : a) to investigate the effect of inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense in pure stand and …

Effect Of Burning On The Nitrogen Dynamics In An Indian Grassland, M K. Misra, M Malana, B N. Misra
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The atmosphere and soil are possible sources of nitrogen for plant but nitrogen remains inactive until degraded and mineralised. Fire acts as a mineralising agent. Fire-manmade or natural is prevalent in the upland vegetations and forests of India. Very little work is available on the nitrogen budget of the Indian grasslands especially in the east coast of India. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of fire on the distribution of nitrogen in soil and plant components and its dynamics in a coastal grassland of Orissa.
Relationship Between Fertilizer Nitrogen And Nodulation Of Tropical Legumes, U R. Sangakkara, K B. Attanayake
Relationship Between Fertilizer Nitrogen And Nodulation Of Tropical Legumes, U R. Sangakkara, K B. Attanayake
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Most tropical pastures are fertilized with N, primarily due to the response of grasses which form its major component. Many studies (e.g. Mahon, 1983) report the adverse effects of applied N on nodulation and N fixation of pasture legumes. Thus, with fertilizer N, the role of the legume is subdued due to reductions in N fixation and competitive dominance of the grasses (Atkins, 1984). Nodulation in tropical legumes begin after root development, and is expidited by enhancing the early growth of the legume. Due to the occurrence of N deficiency termed « N hunger» during early growth of legumes (Atkins, …

Seasonal Variation In Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation Of White Clover, K Sugawara, T Isawat, Y Yashima, I Ito
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Legumes may supply considerable amounts of nitrogen (N) by symbiotic fixation to the pastures and be indispensable species for inexpensive production of forage. White clover (Trifolium repens L.) is the most popular perennial forage legume, especially in grazing fields, in Japan. But we have little information on the actual state of N fixation ability in managed field (Brock et al., 1981; Murphy and Ball, 1985). In this study, N fixation was measured in white clover field during 4 successive years and the seasonal patterns of the activity were investigated in relation with the changes of the atmospheric conditions : …
Dinitrogen Fixation And Nitrogen Transfer In Temperate Legume-Grass Communities, G H. Heichel
Dinitrogen Fixation And Nitrogen Transfer In Temperate Legume-Grass Communities, G H. Heichel
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Perennial forage legumes fix atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) and, in mixed swards of legumes and grasses, may transfer nitrogen (N) to the companion grass (Brophy et al., 1987; Ta and Faris, 1987). The amounts of N2 fixed by legume-grass mixtures in the temperate North Central U.S. are not known. Further the amounts of N transferred from legumes to companion grasses are not known. The purpose of this research was to quantitate N2 fixation of and N transfer in legume-grass swards.

Quantifying The Nitrogen-Supplying Capacity Of Legumes To Non-Legumes In Crop Rotations Using 15n, O B. Hesterman, G H. Harris, T S. Griffin
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Economic and environmental concerns are prompting a heightened interest in using forage legumes in crop rotations to provide nitrogen (N) to subsequent non-legume crops. Yet there is a lack of information on the amount or proportion of N from forage legumes available to subsequent crops. Many fertilizer recommendations base legume N contributions on a fertilizer replacement value (FRY), which is the amount of inorganic N required to produce a subsequent non-legume crop yield equivalent to that produced following a legume. Legume N contributions based on FRY methodology typically exceed 100 kg N ha-1 (e.g. Bruulsema and Christie, 1987; Voss and …
Legume Breeding Strategy For Increased Nitrogen Fixation In New Zealand Temperate Pastures, J R. Crush
Legume Breeding Strategy For Increased Nitrogen Fixation In New Zealand Temperate Pastures, J R. Crush
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The energy level actually achieved at any site in grassland is governed by the mass flow of nitrogen (N) through the biota (O'Connor, 1967). As nitrogen limits pasture production, at all stages of pasture development, the aim of pasture management is to maintain the maximum amount of effective nitrogen in the system (Jackman, 1971). Prospects for increasing symbiotic N fixation in temperate grasslands have been reviewed (Ball and Crush, 1985). Of two strategies, growing more legume or reducing the legumes ability to use mineral nitrogen, the former was favoured. This was because mineral nitrogen is thought to be important, in …
