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 …

Optimizing warm-season grasses for sustainable bioenergy feedstock production
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-05-01

The Suitability of Native Warm-Season Grasses for Equine
Introduced cool-season grasses are dominant in Virginia's grasslands, but their high digestible energy and non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) levels pose a risk for horses prone to obesity and laminitis. Native warm-season grasses (NWSG) have lower digestible energy and NSC levels that may be more …

Systems to Attract and Feed Pollinators in Warm-Season Lawns
… of floral resources across their entire season of activity, and those floral resources can include both herbaceous and woody plant species. Managed turfgrass areas have been identified as potential locations for creating pollinator-friendly habitats. In the transition zone, where both …

Compatibility, Yield, and Quality of Warm-Season Grass-Legume Mixtures
… production in the mid-Atlantic region. Perennial warm-season grasses might provide a solution if managed for high quality. Experiments were conducted on separate well-established stands of Caucasian bluestem and 'Cave-in-Rock' switchgrass at the Kentland Farm near Blacksburg, VA. Stages of grass …

Diversity Relationships in Native, Warm-Season Plant Communities used for Agriculture
… were: 1) to measure the effects of native, warm-season perennial (NWSP) forage mixtures and management methods on productivity, weed biomass, nutritive value, and community composition, and 2) to identify mechanisms that generate any positive diversity-productivity relationships over a …

Senescence of Native Perennial Warm Season Grasses Senescence Associated Switchgrass Transcriptome
… senescencing crops do not maximize the growing season as nutrient reallocation takes precedence. Chlorophyll degradation and nitrogen reallocation was observed to occur rapidly between mid to late September. Transcriptome analysis on early and late senescencing switchgrass cultivars reveals …

Managing Stress Tolerance on Warm-Season Putting Greens in the Transition Zone
<p>The use of warm-season putting greens in the transition zone has increased in recent years. Ultradwarf bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers x C. transvaalensis Burtt-Davy) is the most prevalent warm-season putting green selection in the transition zone, however, newly developed greens-type …

A Study of the Effect of Herbicides on Mycorrhizae Associated With Native Warm Season Grass
Imazapic, imazethapyr, and imazapzyr were applied to seedlings of Tripsacum dactyloides, Andropogon gerardii, Panicum virgatum L., and Sorghastrum nutans (L.) Nash. growing in native prairie and sterile soil. All herbicide treatments caused a negative effect on plants and mycorrhizal colonization. …

Response of selected warm-season turfgrasses and ornamental monocots to short-term, high concentration, ozone fumigation
Ozone (O3), one of the most powerful oxidants known, is phytotoxic at high levels in the troposphere, or ground-level. Effects of acute ozone exposure for two consecutive days was examined on Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon), centipedegrass (Eremochloa ophiuroides), zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica), …

Evaluating native warm-season grass and wildflower mixtures for beef cattle production in the Mid-Atlantic
… in the North American transition zone, however, warm-season forages provide necessary forage for livestock in the summer. Pollinators require steady forage availability in the same fashion as cattle. Native warm-season grasses (NWSG) and wildflowers (WF) could be incorporated into tall fescue …

Agroecological approaches to warm-season cover cropping in northern climate vegetable systems and building collaborations with farmers
… their use may be limited in the short growing season of northern climates. Evaluating the effects of cover crops on soil nutrient cycling and SOM in northern climates is an opportunity to collaborate with farmers, which is important because such collaboration improves the quality of knowledge …

Can Beef Be Bee-Friendly? Using Native Warm-Season Grasses and Wildflowers in Pastures to Conserve Bees
… in the eastern U.S. rely primarily on cool-season forages that peak in biomass production in late spring, leading to a lack of forage in the summer months and increasing the costs of cattle production. Seeding pastures with a mix of native warm-season grasses and native wildflowers could …

Avian Nesting Density and Success in Alfalfa, Cool Season CRP, and Warm Season CRP Planting in Eastern South Dakota
… and densities in dense nesting cover (DNC), warm-season natives (WSN), and alfalfa in paired field comparisons; and (2) compare vegetative and microclimate characteristics of DNC, WSN, and alfalfa in paired field comparisons. Paired fields of DNC/alfalfa and WSN/alfalfa were selected and 10% …

Quality and Yield Responses of Seven Warm Season Forage Grasses to Partial Shading in a Simulated Silvopasture in East Texas
… of seven forages, including various warm season native grasses, grown under simulated partial shading (50%) typical of a loblolly pine silvopastoral system in East Texas. In order to meet the overall objective, slatted shade structures were constructed that simulated the quantity, …

Avian Nesting Densities and Success in Introduced Cool-Season Grass-Legume Plantings Versus Warm-Season Native Grass Planting in South Dakota 2002-2003
… and idle grassland. Studies indicate that warm-season native grass plantings (WSN) generally provide good winter cover. Recently a trend favoring WSN has emerged, but limited information exists on nesting density and success of cool-season grass-legume plantings (dense nesting cover [DNC]) …

Hailfall in a future climate using a pseudo-global warming approach
… and hail change, this study uses a pseudo-global warming (PGW) approach to simulate seven different historic hailstorms in their historical environments and again in PGW environments obtained from five different CMIP5 members. Changes in large-scale environmental parameters were generally found to …

Several meteorological parameters were analyzed using NARR data and synoptic soundings for the pre-storm and storm environments of eight flash flood events. The results show significant differences in the …
