Title: Effect of animal traffic on soil compaction in wheat pastures: Journal: Journal of Production Agriculture; Authors: E. G. Krenzer, Jr., C. F. Chee, and J. F. Stone; Date: 1989; Summary: The authors worked to quantify soil compaction caused by animal traffic on red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) pasture, and determined how deep this soil compaction takes place. Soil bulk density and soil strength increased under animal traffic, showing that soil compaction occurred. The depth to which this compaction took place varied by location, extending as deep as 12-13 inches. The greatest compaction took place in the top 1 inch of soil. Soil water content was lower under grazing at two of the three locations tested, possibly from reduction in the number of large po ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article

Title: Spring grazing effects on components of winter wheat yield: Journal: Agronomy Journal; Authors: S. H. Sharrow, and I. Motazedian; Date: 1987; Summary: The effects of a single intense March grazing by sheep, on the components of biomass yield in 'Yamhill' soft white winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) were evaluated in Oregon during the 1979 to 1981 harvest years. Grazing increased total plant biomass yield each year. Grazing had little impact on the date of grain maturity. Differences in total grain yield between grazed and ungrazed plots reflected an increased number of seeds per head on grazed plots. Grazed plants produced an average of six more seeds per head than did ungrazed plants, an increase of 16%. Increased s ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article

Title: Grazing duration effects on wheat growth and grain yield: Journal: Agronomy Journal; Authors: S. R. Winter, and E. K. Thompson; Date: 1987; Summary: This study in the Southern Great Plains looked at grazing duration effects on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) and grain yield. Growth and grain yield responses to grazing duration were statistically similar for all growing seasons. Compared to the grain-only treatment, wheat grazed until 1 February averaged lower leaf area index, biomass, and mean tiller weight at heading. In contrast, tiller density at heading was not reduced in the grazed wheat. Based on appearance, the grain-only treatment had superior grain yield potential every year. As the data show, grain yiel ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article
