    The influence of sward characteristics on the herbage intake of grazing calves (1977)
    Cambridge University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 1977-12-01
    Description: SummaryExperiments were carried out at the Grassland Research Institute, U.K. (Expt 1) and the Universidad Central de Venezuela, Maracay (Expt 2), to study the influence of sward characteristics upon the herbage intake of young grazing cattle. In both studies the animals were strip-grazed in small groups on a series of plots, at a generous herbage allowance.The digestibility of the herbage ingested exerted a dominant influence on herbage organic matter (OM) intake, which increased at a constant rate as organic matter digestibility (OMD) increased throughout the range observed, 55–81% in Expt 1 and 53–63% in Expt 2. Intakes were similar in the two experiments at 60–65% OMD, but the rate of decline with decreasing digestibility was much greater in Expt 2 than in Expt 1.Intake was affected to a small extent in Expt 2 by the weight of herbage, the proportion of green material, and the extended height of the sward. In Expt 1 the intake from plots of primary growth was approximately 10% greater than that from secondary growths at equivalent digestibility and crop weight.The implications of these observations to techniques of grazing management are discussed.

    An examination of the net changes in amino-acid composition within the rumen of mature wether sheep using canonical variate analysis (1976)
    Cambridge University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 1976-10-01
    Description: SUMMARYData for the quantity of ammo acids consumed and their flow rates at the proximal duodenum for 33 diets fed to sheep have been statistically analysed by both univariate and multivariate methods. Analysis of variance of net loss (g/day) between mouth and duodenum of individual and total acida was not conclusive. Canonical variate analysis which takes regard of the correlations between different acids both within and between diets provided a conoise method of discriminating between diets. The advantage of this method in generating a unified account of digestion within the rumen is that it effectively reduces the problem from one of many dimensions to a situation where only the first few transformed variables need to be considered.

    A comparative method for describing the seasonal distribution of production from grasses (1978)
    Cambridge University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 1978-08-01
    Description: SummaryA standard method is proposed for establishing the seasonal pattern of production for grasses. The procedure consists in recording the yield from grass swards cut every 4 weeks and from which limitations to growth from the supply of water or nutrients have been removed. Four series of plots are harvested in rotation, spaced a week apart so that there is a routine of harvesting a constant number of plots on the same day each week. A statistical analysis is also described enabling comparisons to be made between the grasses under test. An example is given to illustrate the method and the results obtained.

    Notes: Five experiments were conducted to determine the effect of pre-harvest treatment with steam or formic acid on the moisture concentration (MC) in crops of lucerne, two varieties of perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and Italian ryegrass. In each experiment, plots were treated with a mixture of hot gases and steam (S) or sprayed with an aqueous solution of formic acid (F). In the tall fescue experiment the F treatment was applied to the cut swath but in all other instances the F and S treatments were applied to the swards before cutting and the MC changes after treatment compared with those in untreated cut swaths (W 1). Twenty-four hours after initial treatment all S plots, and those F plots other than tall fescue, were cut and the subsequent water loss compared with that from (i) untreated material cut at the same time (W 2) and (ii) the W 1 plots cut the previous day.In all five experiments the change in the MC of the S plots was similar to that of the W 1 plots both before and after cutting. The reduction in the MC of the F plots before cutting was less than that of the S and W 1 plots, and in three of the five experiments water loss from cut F plots was apparently restricted in comparison with that from untreated cut material (W2).Neither desiccant treatment showed great promise as a pre-treatment to cutting for hay making although formic acid may have limited value when a crop is to be harvested directly for silage or artificial dehydration.In an appendix, the efficacy of using accumulated vapour pressure deficit as a basis for comparing the water loss from the untreated cut crops drying under different conditions is demonstrated.

    Effect of Coniothyrium minitans on sclerotial survival and apothecial production of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in field-grown oilseed rape (1995)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Plant pathology 44 (1995), S. 0 
    Details

    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: In two field trials with oilseed rape, Coniothyrium minitans was applied to soil as a maizemeal-perlite preparation in order to determine its effect on sclerotial survival and apothecial production of Sclerotinia selerotiorum. The mycoparasite infected sclerotia and decreased sclerotial survival, carpogenic germination and production of apothecia. Effects were greatest when inoculum of C. minitans was applied in autumn, at the time of sowing, rather than when it was applied in spring. C. minitans survived in soil for 2 years and spread to adjacent control plots and infected sclerotia within those plots. However, despite the fact that the inoculum potential of S. selerotiorum was reduced by C. minitans treatment, no disease control was obtained either in trial 1, where disease levels were low (0-20% of plant stems affected), or in trial 2, where disease levels were high (up to 70% of plant stems affected). Possible reasons for this failure of C minitans to control sclerotinia disease in oilseed rape, and strategies to improve its efficacy in the field, are discussed.

    Variation in forage yield and quality of three cruciferous catch crops grown in southern England (1981)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Grass and forage science 36 (1981), S. 0 
    Details

    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition
    Notes: Cruciferous catch crops are an important source of forage, particularly in sheep systems, but due to their late sowing date, commonly July or early August, soil moisture is often a limiting factor in crop establishment and subsequent growth, causing wide variations in yield from year to year. Crops of stubble turnip (Brassica campestris ssp. rapifera), forage rape (B. napus ssp. biennis) and fodder radish (Raphanus sativus) were grown at Hurley between 1969 and 1977. Fodder radish was the most variable in dry matter (DM) yield, while stubble turnip was the most stable. Both DM yields and in vitro digestibilities rose during the autumn, reaching a maximum in mid-December for stubble turnip and forage rape, and in mid to late November for fodder radish. Yield and digestibility subsequently declined. The N concentrations of the forages exhibited a contrary trend, reaching minimum values at about the time of the highest DM yields. The gradual changes in crop quality suggest that the crops are well suited to grazing utilization, in which management is simplified if crop quality shows little variation.

    Characteristics and host range of tomato powdery mildew (1998)
    Oxford, U.K. and Cambridge, USA : Blackwell Publishers
    Plant pathology 47 (1998), S. 0

    Notes: The anamorphic state of a powdery mildew, which first appeared on tomato in the UK in 1987, currently listed as Erysiphe orontii (anamorph Oidium violae), was examined microscopically on both tomato and alternative hosts. Host range studies were also carried out. In 1993–95, species and cultivars of plants from 26 of the 30 families listed as hosts of E. orontii were inoculated with tomato powdery mildew in the glasshouse and assessed for susceptibility on a 0–3 scale based on degree of sporulation and growth. Thirteen families contained species or varieties that were susceptible and a total of 80 varieties, including many economically important Cucurbitaceae and Solanaceae, supported sporulation to some extent (susceptibility score 1–3). Necrosis was not a constant feature of plants exhibiting resistance, as it could accompany sporulation on some susceptible varieties. Microscopic measurements showed that conidial size, conidiophore length, conidiophore foot-cell length and width, and the number of cells distal to the foot-cell were remarkably constant between samples of powdery mildew taken from tomato each year and from the various alternative hosts. Based on the production of conidia singly, the presence of nipple-shaped to moderately lobed appressoria, and occurrence of straight conidiophores, it is concluded that this fungus on tomato should more correctly be named Oidium lycopersicum until the sexual stage is discovered. The highly polyphagous nature of this powdery mildew would suggest that it represents a potential risk to UK agriculture and horticulture, but the failure to recover any powdery mildew from 120 samples of potato, including varieties Cara and Maris Piper, on which the tomato powdery mildew could sporulate in the glasshouse, suggests that environmental factors may play a key role in preventing establishment of this powdery mildew on alternative hosts on a commercial scale in the field.

    Notes: Abstract Adult male and femaleErigone spp. (Araneae: Linyphiidae) spiders were kept without food for several days. Groups of spiders were tested for aeronautic dispersal behaviour (ballooning) in the laboratory. The validity of the assessment method was tested. In comparison with satiated spiders, the starved group exhibited an increased tendency to engage in aeronautic dispersal behaviour. A consistent trend for increased dispersal behaviour was detected in three independent experiments. Implications for spiders in agro-ecosystems are discussed briefly.
