Seasonal herbage production from two range types in southern Mozambique
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: JP Muir A AlageEstimating ideal stocking rates in southern Mozambique based on range productivity is difficult since forage and foggage production of range types receiving different amounts of rainfall have not been quantified to date. Exclosures were constructed in upland and alluvial range... -
Evapotranspiration, water‐use efficiency and quality of six dryland planted pasture species and natural vegetation, in a semi‐arid rangeland1
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: H.A. Snyman --- Department of Grassland Science, Republic of South AfricaHydraulic, non‐floating lysimeters were used to determine evapotranspiration (Et) and water‐use efficiency (WUE) of several dryland planted pasture species over a period of three years. The species were Anthephora pubescens, Cenchrus ciliaris, Chloris gayana, Digitaria eriantha subsp. eriantha, Eragrosiis curvula... -
Chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility of various utilization forms of grain sorghum residues
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: L.D. Snyman --- , Republic of South Africa H.W. Joubert --- , Republic of South AfricaThe chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of various utilization forms of grain sorghum residues were investigated. Two grain sorghum cultivars, SNK 3640 (bitter tasting) and Pioneer 8564 (sweet tasting), were used. Each taste type was grown... -
The influence of rest period during the growing season on the potential of four perennial tropical grass species as foggage
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Range & Forage Science • Authors: P.C. le Roux C.S. DannhauserThe foggage acceptability of Digitaria eriantha Steud., Anthephora pubescens, Panicum maximum (cultivar Green panic) and Cenchrus ciliaris (cultivar Gayndah), subjected to three different treatments during the growing season, were evaluated during three seasons (1987/1988, 1988/1989 and 1989/1990). Treatments comprised of...
