In Cuba, bovine feeding is based on the maximum pasture and forage utilization. Pastures occupy approximately 3.0 million hectares, the highest agricultural area of the country. From there, one million hectares are sown with improved varieties and the rest with low yielding and poor quality natural species or shrub areas with a very poor utilization area (Paretas and Carballar, 1988). On considering the high genetic potential of the animals mainly pures or with a high Holstein blood percentage, emphasis is made to transform the areas dedicated to pasture by improving the varieties yielding more and with a more stable production …

In Egypt, the serious problem of feed shortage, especially of green summer fodder suppresses the improvement of animal production. Therefore, dependence on improving local food and food resources for both animals and humans becomes a «must» for a right policy. The animal feeding system is depending on the cultivation of berseem (Trifolium alexandrium L.). It produces annually around 4.81 million tons starch value/year and could cover the requirements of animals with surplus of 0.92 million tons starch value. However, in summer period, there will be at least a deficiency of 1.50 million tons starch value and most animals are …

Pea is one of the main edible beans for the Chinese people. The total output of pea in China is third only to that of soybean and broad bean. In the main producing area, pea is a protein supplement feed for the animals and poultry next to bean meal. However, the planting area was restricted because most of the old varieties have long growing periods. The yield is low, the seed quality is poor, the plant is high, so it is easy to lodge. Therefore we selected and bred new pea varieties with earlymaturing,' high-yielding, low-plant and erect as well …

Seeds Mixtures For Upland Grassland In The West Of Scotland, G.E D. Tiley
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Improved grassland swards for the hills and uplands of Britain must be able to withstand the exacting conditions of a difficult environment. Longevity and botanical stability are particular requirements under harsh growing conditions, high grazing pressures, low maintenance and restricted manuring. Herbage species and varieties suitable for sowing in improved hill and upland grassland have been identified in previous studies (Davies et al., 1984). Further screening of modern varieties for upland swards has taken place recently in the west of Scotland (Tiley and Frame, 1984). A selection of the best of these varieties was incorporated into simple seeds mixtures for …
Productivity And Shade Tolerance Of Axonopus Spp., Paspalum Spp. And Stenotaphrum Secundatum In The Humid Tropics, J M. Toledo, A Arias, R Schultze-Kraft
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The native grasslands that result from degradation of introduced pastures following deforestation are largely comprised of the species Axonopus affinis, A. compressus, Paspalum conjugatum, P. notatum, P. pilosum, P. plicatulum and Stenotaphrum secundatum. Together with unpalatable grasses such as Imperata spp. and Homolepis spp., they constitute a disclimax vegetation induced by over-grazing and weed control (Toledo, 1984). Such induced grassland communities occur in open and shaded areas under grazing throughout the humid tropics of Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia (Sajise, 1980). This paper reports on the assessment of the seasonal yield potential and shade tolerance of 37 accessions …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron J. Gaertn) is native to Eurasia and most commonly occurs in southern regions of the U.S.S.R., northern regions of China and the P.R. of Mongolia. It is a main species component of steppe, sandy regions of steppe and mountain vegetation. Crested wheatgrass is a very winter-hardy, drought-resistant, extremely long-lived perennial bunchgrass. It regrows very early in the spring and turns yellow very late in the fall, maintaining a period of green growth more than 7 months. It is more widely used for rangeland improvement and artificial pasture establishment in the arid and semi-arid regions. There are …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Until recently murex medic (Medicago murex) was not considered to be particularly useful as a pasture species anywhere in the world. However, the identification of several unique characteristics possessed by this species has stimulated interest in its use. The first registered variety, Zodiac, was developed by the Western Australian Department of Agriculture and released to seed producers throughout Australia in 1988. Other varieties are being evaluated and further releases are likely in a few years. The Western Australian Department of Agriculture now holds the world's largest collection of the murex species with approximately 450 introductions from the Mediterranean …

The Potential Of Secondary Grasses, J Frame
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The influence of invasive grass genera, such as Festuca, Agrostis, Holcus et al., on the productivity of sown swards is subject to controversy. Some authors have classed most unsown grasses as "weeds" while others (e.g. Frame, 1983) have classed certain of them as "secondary" grasses since they can be more productive than sown "primary" grasses such as Lolium perenne L., especially under adverse environments and low soil fertility conditions. Thus the production and quality or the grass species which most commonly invade UK grassland or are typical of permanent pasture were assessed at Ayr, longitude 4°33' west and latitude 52°28' …

During one of the joint plant exploration missions between CIA T's Tropical Pastures Program and national research institutions which aim at building up a comprehensive international forage germplasm collection for development of acidsoil tolerant cultivars (Schultze-Kraft, 1985), an unknow Centrosema species was collected. It is closely related to C. brasilianum and was recently described as C. tetragonolobum (Schultze-Kraft and Williams, in press). Its natural distribution is restricted to the Orinoco region in Colombia and Venezuela between latitudes 4° and 6° N. At present 12 germplasm accessions are available. They were collected during 1984-86 on acid soils (pH 4.5-5.5) and in …

L'amarante est une des mauvaises herbes !es plus communes dans nos champs. Elle parvient a etouffer la culture principale si on ne la contr6le pas correctement. Elle a une germination maximale en fin de printemps et en debut d'ete, bien que la germination continue pendant tout l'ete, favorisee par Jes hautes temperatures et la lumiere intense (Baskin et Baskin, 1977). Sa croissance rapide s'explique par le fait qu'il s'agit d'une plante en C-4 specialement efficace pour la captation de CO2 puisqu'elle a des cloisons cellulaires tres minces (Longstreht et al., 1980). Elle presente aussi une remarquable capacite de repousse apres …

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Grazing pressure must be related to the pasture potential capacity of recovery. The measurement of leaf area index (LAI) is a way of evaluating that effect. Whatever the management, the main objective will be to allow pasture to reach a high LAI status and its' maintenance (Peterson, 1970). In elephant grass the stem/leaf ratio was used to indicate the dry matter production and indirectly indicates the grazing pressure (Rodrigues, 1984). Present experiment was done to evaluate the evolution of leaf area index (LAI), leaf/stem ratio (L/S), percentages of crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF) and in vitro dry matter digestibility …

Study Of Forage Plants' Initial Growth Using The Quantitative Development Analysis, V. De B.G Alcantara, A.R P. De Almeida
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
The initial development analysis is destinated to the evaluation of net production in plants, derivated from the photosyntetic process and the perform results of the assimilative system during certain time period (Watson, 1952). The factors that guide plant production, in general, may be classificated in three classes : genetic, ecological and physiological factors. The physiological factors are : leaf area index (LAI), net assimilation rate (EA) and relative growth rate (Rw) (Alvim, 1962). Some authors think that little genetic difference exist in relation to EA and that there is a little probability of increasing the production capacity of species through …

The Development Of Medicago Polymorha L. As An Important Pasture Species For Southern Australia, M A. Ewing, J G. Howieson
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
Despite the importance of annual pasture legumes to the farming systems of southern Australia and efforts to select appropriate species and varieties (Cocks et al., 1980), well adapted pasture legumes have not been identified for all situations. A particular need exists for species and varieties suited to light surface textured, acid soils in areas receiving between 250 -400 mm of rainfall annually. Soils of this general description are widespread in Western Austrafo, .. Subterranean clover performs well on similar soils where they occur in higher rainfall zones but often fails to persist in arid areas, especially where frequent cereal cropping …
Negative Correlations Between Resource Allocation To Survival And Reproduction: Comparisons Between Annual And Perennial Species Of Medicago For Juvenile Vigor, I Olivieri, A Bory, F Angevain, M Angevian, J M. Prosperi, P Mansat
IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)
At any given age, a plant must allocate limited resources to growth, survival (e.g., disease resistance, root storage) and reproduction (through male and female functions). Growth may be viewed as a way of acquiring more resources (necessary for survival or reproduction at a later time). Response to selection, whether natural or artificial, may well depend on the shape of the compensation curves that exist between those functions (Olivieri, 1987). Such a principle of resource allocation predicts the existence of negative correlations between these components of the life-cycle (see for instance Roach, 1986). As shown by Van Noordwijk and De Jong …
