Panicum maximum latin

The larvae feed within the stem of Panicum maximum.

The pasture mentioned refers to Panicum maximum by 90%.

Panicum maximum and Imperata cylindrica are important food sources for the elephants.

The larvae feed on Panicum maximum and Sorghum verticilliflorum.

Panicum maximum (Guinea grass)

Panicum maximum cv.

Dry matter yields and animal production of Guinea grass (Panicum maximum) on the humid tropical coast of North Queensland.

The larvae feed on Poaceae species, including Panicum maximum, Pennisetum pedicellatum and Rottboellia cochinensis.

The grass species are Bambusa bambos, Ceylon Date Palm (Phoenix pusilla), Imperata cylindrica, and Panicum maximum.

Nests are cup-shaped and made from small roots and twigs, dry leaves of Chusquea abietifolia and B. wadsworthii, and dry Panicum maximum leaves.

Previously, the proteins were undetected by western analysis in purified maize bundle-sheath cells, using antibodies against Panicum maximum aspartate aminotransferase and Cucumis sativus alanine aminotransferase.

Bushes such as Randia dumetorum, and Calotropis gigantea and grasses such as Imperata cylindrica, and Panicum maximum are abundant in some areas.

Maize leaves have PEPCK activity equal to 45% of the activity levels of a 'pure' PEPCK-type C4 plant, Panicum maximum [ 34].

They preferentially harvest Digitaria smutsii and Panicum maximum more often than other species, and Pennisetum purpureum, Pennisetum ciliare and Brachiaria decumbens were selected significantly less often.

The larvae feed on Dianella, Brachypodium distachyon, Cynodon dactylon, Erharta erecta, Panicum maximum, Pennisetum clandestinum and Thuarea involuta.

In maize and sugarcane, the enzyme is NADP-malic enzyme; in millet, it is NAD-malic enzyme; and, in Panicum maximum, it is PEP carboxykinase.

The larvae are a pest on Saccharum officinarum, although they also feed on other plants, including Saccharum robustum, Saccharum spontaneum, Saccharum edule, Pennisetum purpureum and Panicum maximum.

They depend on wild grasses such as Guinea Grass (Panicum maximum) as well as crops like rice for both their food (feeding on seedlings in the germination stage as well as on early stages of grain) and nesting material.

Using data collected over a 2-year period from plots under a variety of management techniques, ranging from maize cultivation to a range of pasture grasses, they report that soil erosion and nutrient losses were greatest from maize (Zea mays ) and guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) plots.
