IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Pasture management and the particular conditions of each year are responsible for productive results, farm income, and condition of the pasture. A simple and robust method that relates the available grass and the required grass was built in a participatory manner, and contributes to a critical reflection process among the group of decision-making, adapting to their context. In 17 farms from the Basalt region in Uruguay, grass and animals were monitored seasonally. A simple method was developed with farmers, and from de offer needed to meet production targets (KgMS/KgPV) the amount of grass requires was calculated. The grass height was …

C3 Perennial Grass Dominates Mixed C3/C4 Grasslands After Invasion By A C3 Woody Sprouter, C. E. Cooper, R. J. Ansley, T. J. Steffens, D. B. Murray, T. Zhang
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) encroachment has resulted in decreased C4 mid-grass production and increased C3 mid-grass in the Southern Great Plains of the US. Woody legumes have had similar effects in Africa, Australia, and South America. Prosopis initially facilitates Texas wintergrass (Nassella leucotricha) growth under canopies, in part because N-fixation by this woody legume enriches subcanopy soils, favoring C3 species. As stand density increases, Nassella extends into interspaces between trees as well. Here we report Nassella responses in several studies that either reduced Prosopis to indirectly impact Nassella or treated Nassella directly. In …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana Kunth), a C4 forage grass, is regarded as salttolerant and exhibits intra- and inter-cultivar variability for this trait. Plants of cv Boma were selected for salt tolerance at the seedling and adult stages, cloned and characterized by RAPD and AFLP amplification patterns. Both techniques were equally efficient for fingerprinting these clones. More bands were obtained by AFLP but the ratio of polymorphic bands and the proportion present only in tolerant clones were the same by both methods. These bands, along with those exclusive for sensitive clones could be useful as markers for assisted selection.

Biotechnological Improvement In Timothy Breeding, S. Pulli, Y. D. Guo
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Biotechnological improvements in timothy breeding by androgenic and somatic cell culture and molecular identification were achieved. The doubled haploid (DH) plants were obtained via anther and microspore culture. A series of factors which affect androgenic embryogenesis and green plant regeneration have been evaluated. The PG-96 induction media which sharply promote androgenic embryogenesis have been established. Over 400 DH plants of timothy were obtained. Timothy somatic callus induction was successfully established using immature inflorescences and seedling stems. Suspension cultures were initiated from friable nodule-forming callus. More than 100 regenerated green plants were obtained from somatic callus and suspension clumps. DNA-based fingerprinting …
Evolutionary Recurrent Selection Develops Adapted Annual Ryegrass, G. M. Prine
Evolutionary Recurrent Selection Develops Adapted Annual Ryegrass, G. M. Prine
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Seed companies find having their own annual ryegrass breeding program in the southeastern USA, unprofitable. The annual ryegrass breeding program at the University of Florida provides new annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) cultivars with disease resistance and adaption. The evolutionary recurrent selection breeding uses large nurseries, roguing of diseased and unthrifty plants and selection of best plants to provide seed for the next generation. Current commercial cultivars developed are named along with some of their characteristics.

Determination Of Sustainable Zones For Groundwater Abstraction From The Multi-Layered Aquifer System In The Bengal Basin, Bangladesh, Anwar Zahid, Muhammad Qumrul Hassan, Nazrul I. Khandaker
Determination Of Sustainable Zones For Groundwater Abstraction From The Multi-Layered Aquifer System In The Bengal Basin, Bangladesh, Anwar Zahid, Muhammad Qumrul Hassan, Nazrul I. Khandaker
Publications and Research
The use of deep groundwater (±300 m deep) is becoming an important issue in the Bengal Basin, due to both water quality problems and an acute shortage of available water in upper aquifers. In southeastern Bangladesh, multi-layered aquifer conditions exist with arsenic contamination at shallow depths, and high iron and brackish groundwater occurring mainly in the deeper layers. Many previous studies have offered explanations for the high concentrations of dissolved arsenic in groundwater - most of which proposed that the arsenic is derived from geo-genic sources and its release in groundwater is through natural processes, not the result of anthropogenic …

The Importance Of Monitoring To Assess The Impact Of Climate Change On Groundwater Resources In Bangladesh, Muhammad Qumrul Hassan, Anwar Zahid, Nazrul I. Khandaker
Publications and Research
Groundwater is the major source of fresh water across much of the world, but there has been very little study on the impacts of climate change on this precious and finite resource. Rising levels of greenhouse gases are likely to increase the global average surface temperature over the next 100 years, raise sea levels and reduce soil moisture. The amount of water stored in the soil is fundamentally important to agriculture and influences the rate of actual evaporation, groundwater recharge and runoff. Rising sea levels would cause the tidal saltwater wedge to intrude further upstream in rivers, with resulting changes …

Publications and Research
Students interested in geosciences, for the most part, missed out their traditional field- based research activities due to strict social distancing, travel restrictions and/or lacking financial support. An absence of physical laboratory opportunities forced students to choose topics deemed doable through online research. Available data from online sources on extreme weather related case studies, flooding, droughts, groundwater depletion in urban and suburban areas, coastal erosion rate, sealevel rise, landslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and atmospheric pollution became quite handy and lucrative. Readily available pertinent data sources enabled K9-16 students to conduct summer research at “stay home” situations. Selective peer mentoring was …

Diffusional Fractionation Of Helium Isotopes In Silicate Melts, Haiyang Luo, Bijaya Karki, Dipta B. Ghosh, Huiming Bao
Diffusional Fractionation Of Helium Isotopes In Silicate Melts, Haiyang Luo, Bijaya Karki, Dipta B. Ghosh, Huiming Bao
Faculty Publications
Estimating Helium (He) concentration and isotope composition of the mantle requires quantifying He loss during magma degassing. The knowledge of diffusional He isotope fractionation in silicate melts may be essential to constrain the He loss. Isotopic mass dependence of He diffusion can be empirically expressed as D3He/D4He = (4/3)^β, where D is the diffusivity of a He isotope. However, no studies have reported any β values for He in silicate melts due to technical challenges in both experiments and computations. Here, molecular dynamics simulations based on deep neural network potentials trained by ab initio data …
Chlorophyll Concentration (Spad Values) As An Indicator Of Crude Protein Content And As A Selection Criterion In Grass Breeding, N. Gáborèík
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The main aim of the study was to analyse chlorophyll a + b content (SPAD values) determined by portable chlorophyllmeter (SPAD- 502, Minolta, Japan) and crude protein content in leaves of timothy, coocksfoot, perennial ryegrass and meadow fescue (total 24 cultivars). Differences between both parameters were confirmed and a close relationship between chlorophyll content (SPAD values) and crude protein concentration was found. Correlation coefficient between SPAD and crude protein varied from 0.541++ for ryegrass to 0.906++ for timothy. This fact should be used for selection of grasses with higher crude protein content and/or better use of mineral soil …
Evaluation Of Red Clover Populations Selected For Persistence And Dry Matter Yield In Rio Grande Do Sul, Brasil, M. Dall’Agnol, D. P. Montardo, J. K. Gonçalves
Evaluation Of Red Clover Populations Selected For Persistence And Dry Matter Yield In Rio Grande Do Sul, Brasil, M. Dall’Agnol, D. P. Montardo, J. K. Gonçalves
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Red clover is one of the most important temperate legume species and it is used to alleviate the lack of forage in natural grasslands during the cool season in Rio Gra do Sul, Brasil. However, the lack of persistence presented by this species has not allowed its full utilization. Hence, a breeding program was started to select plants with more persistence and with good dry matter (DM) yield. This work was carried out at the “Estação Experimental Agronômica”, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Three selected red clover populations were evaluated in relation to the best available commercial check, …

Differences Between Diploid And Induced Tetraploid Lotus Glaber Mill. (Lotus Tenuis Waldst. & Kit.) Plants, M. S. Barufaldi, H. N. Crosta, M. F. Eseiza, R. H. Rodríguez, E. Sánchez
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Narrowleaf birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus glaber Mill.) is an important forage legume which has spread widely and naturalized in the grasslands of the Depressed Pampas of the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. L. glaber is an alogamic diploid species with a low number of chromosomes (2n=2x= 12). These features show it as a species through which induced autopolyploids by colchicine-doubling of seedlings can be obtained. In this paper, we comparatively analyze fertility and size pollen grain, stomata length, central leaflet length and width and central leaflet ratio width/length in diploid plants and induced-autotetraploid plants of L. glaber. The results …

Photoperiod Response In Pensacola Bahiagrass, Ann R. Blount, T. R. Sinclair, R. N. Gates, Kenneth H. Quesenberry, P. Mislevy, R. C. Littell
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Photoperiod response has been found to influence the growth and development of >Pensacola' derived bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge var. saure Parodi). Four selection cycles [>Pensacola= (Cycle 0), Cycle 4, >Tifton 9' (Cycle 9) and Cycle 23] resulting from recurrent restricted phenotypic selection (RRPS) of spaced-plants, were field grown in 1999 and 2000, to study photoperiod sensitivity among genotypes. Two day-length treatments were imposed on the field grown plants. One treatment, used only natural light. The second treatment imposed an extended day-length treatment using Quartz-halogen lamps, installed in the field during the fall and winter, to extend day-length to15 …

High Polymorphism For Forage Production Of Lotus Corniculatus Sn Transformants, Sergio Arcioni, F. Paolocci, V. Turchetti, F. Damiani
High Polymorphism For Forage Production Of Lotus Corniculatus Sn Transformants, Sergio Arcioni, F. Paolocci, V. Turchetti, F. Damiani
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Transgenic plants obtained from transformation of one individual of Lotus corniculatus with the maize gene Sn, a transactivator of anthocyanin pathway, were analysed for the expression of the transgene and for the accumulation of condensed tannins. A great variability was observed for these two traits. Some extreme individuals were clonally propagated and analysed for rooting ability and plant growth. Unexpectedly, a strong correlation between condensed tannin level, rooting ability and plant growth was observed. These results are discussed in order to explore new strategies to increase plant productivity in forage legumes.
Gastrointestinal Nematode Infections In Grazing Domestic Ruminants, M. Eysker
Gastrointestinal Nematode Infections In Grazing Domestic Ruminants, M. Eysker
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
World wide gastrointestinal nematode infections impair production of ruminants. Particularly in small ruminants control of these infections is seriously hampered by the development of resistance of the parasites against anthelmintic drugs. This implies that alternative control measures have to be implemented in order to maintain a sustainable ruminant industry. In this paper the various possibilities to achieve this are briefly discussed. The possibilities discussed include grazing management, vaccination, selective breeding, biological control, nutrition and the use of bioactive forages such as for instance plants containing condensed tannins. At the end it is concluded that combinations of these options should preferably …
Plant Secondary Compounds; Their Impact On Forage Nutritive Value And Upon Animal Production, T. N. Barry, D. M. Mcneill, W. C. Mcnabb
Plant Secondary Compounds; Their Impact On Forage Nutritive Value And Upon Animal Production, T. N. Barry, D. M. Mcneill, W. C. Mcnabb
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Both the anti-nutritional and beneficial effects of secondary compounds in a range of temperate and tropical forages have been reviewed. Major secondary compounds in temperate and tropical forage plants occur in the phenolic fraction and include condensed and hydrolysable tannins, phenolic monomers and lignin. Condensed tannins (CT) bind to plant protein by pH-reversible hydrogen bonding. In temperate legume forages this reduces rumen protein degradation and can increase the absorption of essential amino acids (EAA) from the small intestine, with reactivity depending on CT concentration, molecular weight and chemical structure. Low concentrations of CT in Lotus corniculatus (20-40g/kg DM) increased EAA …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
A strategy to detect anthelmintic constituents in plantain (Plantago lanceolata) using a bioassay-driven purification approach was tested. Plantain consumed by cattle may control or reduce internal parasite titers, possibly due to the iridoid glucoside aucubin. Lyophilized, ground leaves of wild P. lanceolata were extracted with 95 % ethanol or boiling water containing calcium carbonate. Partially purified extracts (0 to 250 mg ml-1), 5 μg ml-1 of the anthelmintic levamisole, or 5 mg ml-1 of aucubin were tested with sheathed bovine parasites (Ostertagia ostertagi). The percent moving worms was unchanged for water controls …

Tree Competition Reduces Cattle Growth Rates In Eucalypt Woodlands Of Queensland, T. J. Hall, J. R. Douglas
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The wiregrass/bluegrass (Aristida/Bothriochloa) native pasture community in Eucalypt woodlands is a major cattle producing resource in Queensland. The effects of poplar box tree (Eucalyptus populnea) competition (at 5 m2/ha tree basal area) and grazing pressure on pastures and on growth of Brahman-cross steers were measured in a grazing experiment. Treatments were 2 tree competition levels (live trees or clearing) by 3 grazing pressures (low - 25%, medium - 50% and high - 75% utilisation of annual pasture growth). Pasture yield and pasture foliage cover increased for 3 years from the reduction in tree competition …
