Legume Establishment in Native Warm-Season Grass Pastures
Interseeding legumes in native warm-season grasses (NWSG) may improve the nutritive value of the stand, result in more consistent forage availability throughout the growing season, and increase forage yield. These benefits are often not realized due to difficulties in establishing legumes in …

Water use efficiency of grazed pastures under contrasting diversity
… differences in evaporation (E) and WUE between pastures of contrasting diversity at the ecosystem scale are scarce. The objective of this thesis was to contrast seasonal WUE and production strategies of a traditional ryegrass-clover and a more diverse pasture at the ecosystem scale. This study …

Native Forb Establishment in Tall Fescue-dominated Cattle Pastures
… planting of tall fescue-dominated cattle pastures in two separate experiments: one testing a range of site preparation treatments with different seasons of sowing and comparing their effects on tall fescue suppression and seeded native plant establishment and the other investigating the …

Serum Cholesterol of Young Cattle Grazing Bermudagrass and Fescue Pastures
… tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) pastures (E+ fescue) with those grazing bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) pers.] pastures (BG). Cattle grazing E+ fescue appear to have a higher prevalence of fat necrosis than do cattle grazing other forages. Thus, we hypothesized that factors in …

Evaluation of florpyrauxifen-benzyl for use in pastures and hayfields
Weed control is a critical component in pastures and hayfields in order to ensure maximum forage yields. Typically, broadleaf weed control in pastures and hayfields is achieved through the use of synthetic auxin. However, these herbicides also control desirable broadleaf species such as forage …

A method of estimating the feeding value of swine pastures
Estimates of feed produced by pasture were obtained from pasture investigations at the Tidewater Field Station from 1949 through 1953, Dry lot groups of pigs similar to those fed on pasture and fed similar rations were used to estimate total concentrates necessary for maintenance and gain of pigs …
