Cereal crop residues are important feed resources for ruminants in developing countries. However, they are poor in nutritive value because digestible energy, crude protein and mineral contents are all low. Techniques to improve the feeding value of crop residues by chemical or biological means ha...

Opportunities for improvement of nutritive value in sorghum and pearl millet residues in South Asia through genetic enhancement
Crop residues from groundnut and sorghum constitute important fodder resources for dairy production and fodder trading on the Deccan Plateau in India. This paper addresses the effect of important diseases of groundnut and sorghum on pod and grain yield and crop residue yield and quality. In four ...

Forage production of 16 C. rotundifolia accessions was compared with that of Stylosanthes scabra cv Seca under grazing in a subhumid, medium altitude acid soil site at Soddo, southern Ethiopia. Large variations were observed in dry matter production, days to flower initiation, canopy height and c...

Agricultural production in Asia emphasises intensive rice and wheat production. Other systems are associated with maize, cassava, trees and a range of secondary crops. Both monoculture and multiple cropping systems are common, with crops being grown for subsistence and cash. Irrigated agriculture...
Adaptation of new accessions of Panicum maximum to an acid Oxisol (pH 4.8, 90% AI saturation) was assessed over 3 years on 2 sites of contrasting soil texture at the Carimagua Research Station, in the Eastern Plains of Colombia. Twenty-seven lines, selected originally from a collection of 436 acc...
