forage crops; allelopathy; Medicago sativa; phytotoxicity; weeds; allelochemicals; crop rotation
Abstract:
... Secondary plant metaholites and their degradation products are important in all agroecosystems including those with forage crops. Allelopathy affects cropping systems and interseeding of one species into established sods of another. Autotoxicity and heterotoxicity are types of allelopathy. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) has been investigated as both an autotoxic and heterotoxic species. Reestablishm ...

mechanism of action; coevolution; plant communities; allelochemicals; ecological succession; allelopathy; secondary metabolites; bioassays; plant competition; chemical ecology
Abstract:
... Allelopathy, originally defined as chemically elicited interactions between plants or fungi, is mediated by many types of compounds with different sites and modes of biochemical action. Although it is possible to measure a generalized effect, it is unlikely that deeper insight into the basic mechanimas of this phenomenon will be obtained until problems are more clearly and specifically delineated. ...

Abstract:
... Understanding allelopathy may hold the key to new weed management strategies. However, the difficulty of distinguishing chemical interference from competition has hindered studies of allelopathy in natural and cultivated plant communities. Experimental rigor has increased, but has yet to provide unambiguous proof of allelopathy. The complexities of allelopathic interactions, as illustrated by ongo ...

Abstract:
... Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) such as dicyandiamide (DCD) and nitrapyrin [2-chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine] (NP) slow the nitrification process, thus reducing N losses from leaching and denitrification. In field studies (1990–1994) on a Renfrow silt loam (fine-silty, mixed, thermic Udertic Paleustolls) near El Reno, OK, we evaluated these two NIs and their placement effects on nitrification o ...

Abstract:
... Forage production of ‘Grasslands Matua’ prairie grass [Bromus catharticus M. Vahl; syn. B. unioloides Kunth, B. willdenowii Kunth] (Matua, for short) during the fall months is excellent, but highly management dependent. Unfortunately, fall harvest management effects on the quality of this grass are relatively unknown. Our objectives were to determine the effects of fall harvest management on forag ...

Abstract:
... The CENTURY soil organic matter model was developed to describe nutrient dynamics for soils of the North American Great Plains, but is now applied to other soil types and climates. Phosphorus transformations in CENTURY are based on empirical relationships, developed for soils where N is the most limiting nutrient. This restricts the model's applicability in P-limited soils, particularly those that ...

Abstract:
... Although tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is one of the major cool-season grasses used for animal feed in the USA, it often is unfertilized or is top-dressed with N alone. Additional fertilizer nutrients applied with N may improve yield and quality. Subsurface placement of N has been shown to improve cool-season grass production, but data are limited regarding effects of placement of diff ...
