This is especially evident in the case of variable yield assessment, the step that prompts the adoption of precision management techniques once farmers are faced by unexpectedly high yield spatial variation. Much work has been devoted to forage, grassland and pasture yield assessment since the early 2000's; evaluating the established achievements alongside the existing drawbacks and limitations is seen the best way to lay the foundation for future research work in this field. Self-propelled forage harvesters received most attention in the quest for on-the-go yield assessment. Both volumetric flow (feedroll displacement sensing) and mass flow (impact force and torque sensing) assessments were tested prior to be developed into commercial applications. Nonetheless, their performances vary depending on harvested product characteristics (density, moisture, texture, etc.). Integrating multiple sensor technologies has emerged as the most effective solution to reduce this variability, despite the higher costs involved. Forage handling machines (mowers conditioners, waggon trailers and balers) were also largely addressed. Balers in the static weighing mode are one of the simplest and most reliable yield assessing platforms, although at the expenses of spatial discretization and positional lag of the yield data. Remote sensing based on spectral reflectance data from the standing crop is rapidly gaining interest, especially if performed from satellites. Multiple data sources (e.g., Landsat and MODIS images), sometimes processed through machine learning or neural network techniques, have demonstrated to provide more reliable yield assessments than single data sources. A cross cutting issue in all these techniques is the assessment of forage moisture. At the ground level, near infra-red sensors are gaining popularity over capacitance sensors, thanks to their ability to determine also quality parameters of the harvested biomass. Overall, the need for calibration and maintenance of all sensor types represents a critical point that requires to be carefully evaluated before selecting an appropriate system.</p>","PeriodicalId":12767,"journal":{"name":"Grass and Forage Science","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/gfs.12701","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143404781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the variation in chemical composition among hybrids may impact the nutritional value and the fermentation process of the silages produced. Thus, the present study assessed the fermentation quality and chemical composition of silages from five hybrids of biomass sorghum. The experiment adopted a 5 × 2 factorial randomised block design with five biomass sorghum hybrids (CMSXS5039, CMSXS5044, CMSXS7102, CMSXS7103 and BRS 716) sowed in two municipalities of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil (Dourados and Jateí). The parameters assessed were chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility, profile of short-chain organic acids, pH, ammonia, fermentation losses and aerobic stability. The silages produced from CMSXS7102, CMSXS7103 and BRS 716 in Dourados had higher fibre content and lower digestibility coefficients. In contrast, hybrids with higher non-fibrous carbohydrate content and lower lignin levels, such as CMSXS5044 and CMSXS5039, exhibited the best digestibility values. Silages produced in Jateí had higher moisture content, which resulted in increased effluent losses, particularly for the CMSXS5044 (450 kg ton⁻¹ DM) and CMSXS5039 (320 kg ton⁻¹ DM) hybrids. This higher effluent production in Jateí led to lower soluble protein (SP) and degradable protein (DP) concentrations compared to the silages from Dourados. Additionally, the higher moisture content in Jateí promoted the production of butyric acid in the silages. Silages from the CMSXS5039 hybrid (70.5 g kg⁻¹ DM) had the highest lactic acid content; however, no significant difference was observed in acetic acid levels between the treatments. Overall, all the sorghum biomass hybrids tested produced silages with good fermentative and nutritional quality, but CMSXS5039 stood out in most of the parameters evaluated.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12767,"journal":{"name":"Grass and Forage Science","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143404785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sown biodiverse pastures (SBP) rich in legumes are an important agricultural innovation that increases grassland productivity and reduces the need for fertilisers. This study developed a machine learning model to obtain spatially explicit estimations of the productivity of SBP, based on field sampling data from five Portuguese farms during four production years (2018–2021) and under two fertilisation regimes (conventional and variable rate). Weather data (such as temperature, precipitation and radiation), soil properties (including sand, silt, clay and pH), terrain characteristics (including elevation, slope, aspect, hillshade and topographic position index), and management data (including fertiliser application) were used as predictors. A variance inflation factor (VIF) approach was used to measure multicollinearity between input variables, leading to only 11 of the 53 input variables being used. Artificial neural network (ANN) methods were used to estimate pasture productivity, and hyper-parameterization optimization was performed to fine-tune the model. Plots under variable rate fertilisation were significantly improved by up to 20 kg P ha⁻¹ applied in the same year. Plots under conventional fertilisation benefitted the most from fertilisation in past years. The model demonstrated good generalisation, with similar estimation errors for both the training and test sets: for an average yield of 6096 kg ha⁻¹ in the sample, the root mean squared errors (RMSE) for the training and test sets were respectively 882 and 1125 kg ha⁻¹. These results indicate that the model did not overfit the training data and can be used to estimate SBP productivity maps in the sampled farms.

To address this challenge, we assessed the survival of 13 forage legume species over 2 years at three field sites across Central Otago, capturing the districts varied precipitation and temperature profiles.

Crimson clover (<i>Trifolium incarnatum</i> L.) had the greatest Year 1 establishment and biomass of annual legumes species at low and medium rainfall sites. Moreover, strong Year 1 seed set and subsequent regeneration in Year 2 were observed for crimson clover, striated clover (<i>Trifolium striatum</i> L.), and subterranean clover (<i>Trifolium subterraneum</i> L.)

However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the changes in grassland productivity and their driving factors in Xinjiang. This study investigated the spatiotemporal characteristics and underlying driving factors of grassland actual net primary productivity (AcNPP) in Xinjiang from 2000 to 2022, utilising the Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach and geospatial detectors. Employing the nonlinear Random Forest technique, we assessed the dual impacts of climate change and human activities on grassland productivity. Our findings revealed that grassland productivity in Xinjiang exhibited fluctuating growth during this period, with an average annual AcNPP growth rate of 0.33 g C m⁻² year⁻¹. Comprehensive evaluation revealed that soil type, precipitation, and soil moisture content were the key determinants of the spatial distribution of AcNPP, with higher values in mountainous regions and lower in basins. The study further revealed that climate change, human activities, and their combined effects contributed to the recovery of 60.97% of grasslands in Xinjiang. However, human activities were the primary drivers of grassland degradation, with a contribution rate reaching 67.71%. Further analysis indicated that water conditions, particularly precipitation and soil moisture content, were the main forces driving grassland changes in Xinjiang. Although grazing management strategies, such as rotational stocking and deferred stocking, facilitated grassland recovery in 36.71% of areas impacted by human activities, grazing remains a significant anthropogenic factor contributing to grassland degradation.
