Abstract

The general purpose of this secondary analysis of a prior systematic review was to determine the degree to which group dynamics–based physical activity interventions align with research processes and outcomes that are more likely to facilitate the translation of research into practice. To accomplish this, a systematic search was conducted within Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts and Humanities Citation Index, and MEDLINE databases to identify articles published prior to 2010 that used at least one group dynamics–based strategy (e.g., group interaction, group goal setting) in physical activity promotion. These 17 intervention studies were identified and coded based on the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance framework and Pragmatic–Explanatory Continuum Indicator Summary (for trial design characteristics). Reporting was infrequent for external validity factors (i.e., representativeness, adoption, cost, maintenance) but more frequent for internal validity factors (e.g., inclusion criteria). Intervention costs were not reported. Studies were more likely to be pragmatic (i.e., designed to determine the effects of an intervention under the usual conditions in which it will be applied) in areas of participant compliance and practitioner adherence and explanatory (i.e., designed to determine the effects of an intervention under ideal conditions) and in areas of practitioner expertise and flexibility of intervention protocol. While a number of these interventions were tested in more pragmatic settings, external validity factors were still underreported.

Abstract

Growth rate, proportion of leaf and stem and nutritive value of sown tropical perennial grasses have not previously been documented for the dryland, frost-prone summer-dominant rainfall region of eastern Australia. An experiment was conducted in northern inland New South Wales with Chloris gayana (Rhodes grass) cv. Katambora and Digitaria eriantha (digit grass) cv. Premier, and compared to Sorghum bicolor ssp. bicolor x S. bicolor ssp. drummondii (forage sorghum). The grasses were harvested every 2 or 6 weeks and fertilized at five rates of nitrogen (N; 0-300 kg N ha−1) over two growing seasons (September-May), 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. Growing season rainfall was below median for both years of the experiment and growth rate was highly variable, reflecting variable rainfall. Sorghum generally had the highest growth rate. Digit grass generally had higher growth rates than Rhodes grass, was more responsive to growing season rainfall, commenced growth earlier and had a longer growing season. Nitrogen application extended the growing season of both perennial grasses. Growth response to N application was minimal when rainfall was low and response following significant rainfall was higher for fertilized than unfertilized grasses. In general, the proportion of green leaf was greater than green stem, although the proportion of stem increased when defoliation interval increased. Nutritive value of the perennial grasses was higher in leaf than stem and declined during the growing season. Differences between the grasses were slight, but indicated that fertilized digit grass defoliated at 2-week intervals had higher growth rate and nutritive value than Rhodes grass.

119. Soil water dynamics and dry-matter production of old man saltbush-, native grass- and lucerne-based pastures in a variable summer-dominant rainfall environment, Australia.

Abstract

In a summer-dominant high-rainfall, yet seasonally dry environment, soil water dynamics and dry-matter ( DM) production were monitored during 2006-12, for three perennial pasture types: old man saltbush ( Atriplex nummularia ssp . nummularia with native grass), native grass ( Bothriochloa macra and Rytidosperma bipartita dominant) and lucerne ( Medicago sativa cv. Venus). Plant root depth of the old man saltbush pasture (1·5 m) was greater than that of native grass (1·2 m), but equal to that of lucerne (1·5 m), resulting in equivalent levels of maximum extractable water ( MEW; mm, 0-1·7 m) for saltbush and lucerne in five of the six seasons. Lucerne ( MEW 242 mm) extracted more soil water than native grass (144 mm), but was similar to old man saltbush (205 mm). In the second year of growth, both the lucerne and old man saltbush pastures achieved their maximum yields of 16·8 and 7·9 t DM ha−1 respectively, but thereafter declined. The decline in yield of lucerne in later years was associated with a significantly lower plant frequency and increase in proportion of weeds. The decline in yield of old man saltbush appeared to be associated with an increasingly dry soil profile, despite receiving rainfall that was above average. The yield of the native grass pasture increased during the study as the proportion of weeds declined, and the presence of saltbush plants did not compromise the yield of perennial grasses in the inter-row spaces. The implications of these findings for livestock production systems in this environment are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

130. Evaluation of perennial pasture legumes and herbs to identify species with high herbage production and persistence in mixed farming zones in southern Australia

Abstract

Ninety-one perennial legumes and herbs (entries) from 47 species in 21 genera were evaluated at sites in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia over 3 years from 2002 to 2005 to identify plants with superior herbage production, persistence and the potential to reduce ground water recharge. Evaluation was undertaken in three nurseries (general, waterlogged soil and acid soil). Medicago sativa L. subsp. sativa (lucerne) cv. Sceptre was the best performing species across all sites. In the general and acid soil nurseries, Cichorium intybus L. (chicory) cv. Grasslands Puna was the only species comparable with Sceptre lucerne in terms of persistence and herbage production. Trifolium fragiferum L. cv. Palestine and Lotus corniculatus L. SA833 were the best performing species on heavy clay soils prone to waterlogging. Three Dorycnium hirsutum (L.) Ser. accessions persisted well on acid soils, but were slow to establish. Short-lived perennial forage legumes, such as Onobrychis viciifolia Scop. cv. Othello, and three Hedysarum coronarium L. entries, including cv. Grasslands Aokou, had high herbage production in the first 2 years and may be suitable for short-term pastures in phased pasture-crop farming systems. T. uniflorum L. and M. sativa subsp. caerulea SA38052 were highly persistent and could play a role as companion species in mixtures or ground cover species for undulating landscapes. Cullen australasicum (Schltdl.) G.W. Grimes SA4966 and Lotononis bainesii Baker cv. Miles had poor establishment, but were persistent. Chicory, T. fragiferum and L. corniculatus were identified as species, other than lucerne, with the most immediate potential for further selection to increase the diversity of perennial legumes and herbs adapted to southern Australian environments.
