Fall rye grain yields were reduced when grazed during the fall of the seeding year, spring of the succeeding year or when grazed during both the fall and spring periods. Spring grazing reduced grain yield by only 10% and fall grazing by only 17%; grazing in both fall and spring reduced yield by 25%.

The effects of fall, spring, and spring plus fall defoliation were studied in four winter rye (Secale cereale L.) cultivars for 2 yr. On average, the three treatments reduced grain yield by 8.7%, 16.6% and 23.2%, respectively, compared to the untreated check. The four cultivars responded similarly.Key words: Secale cereale L., rye (fall), simulated grazing, defoliation, cereals (winter)

A field experiment with glyphosate (n-phosphonomethyl glycine), tillage, and cropping in late summer and in the next spring, included winter rye (Secale cereale L.) and oats (Avena sativa L.) competing with dense established quack grass (Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv.). Foliage sprays of glyphosate [2.8 kg/ha (2.5 lb/A) in water (281 liters/ha) (25 gal/A), applied at 1.76-kg/cm2 (25 psi) pressure] before tillage, reduced grass forage and rhizomes of the dense stands by 90% or more. Late summer spraying was as effective as spring spraying. Some rhizomes had healthy portions, after death, of proximal and distal ends. One tillage in late summer plus one in the next spring reduced quack grass forage weight more than did tillage twice in the late summer or twice in the spring. Oat plots with their second tillage delayed until spring contained 68% less quack grass than the unseeded controls, but forage and grain yields of the spring-seeded oats, and of the rye seeded before winter, were not significantly different. These yields from sprayed plots were approximately double those from unsprayed plots. Without spraying, oats competed more effectively with quack grass than spring-seeded winter rye, but both produced well on sprayed land. One spraying did not eradicate quack grass but appears to avoid the need for summer fallow to control it.

Le changement des habitudes alimentaires au cours de ces dernières années a abouti à l’apparition des maladies dites de civilisation, parmi elles le diabète sucré. Des approches diétothérapeutiques privilégient la consommation des produits céréaliers sous la forme la plus complète possible. Ce travail a pour but de tester l’efficacité des régimes expérimentaux préparés à base des grains complets des deux céréales, le sorgho (Sorghum bicolor L.) et le seigle (Secale cereale L.), sur la correction de l’hyperglycémie et des marqueurs du stress oxydant associés au diabète chez le rat mâle Wistar. Les résultats montrent que les rats diabétiques, soumis au régime seigle pendant quatre semaines, présentent une diminution significative de la glycémie qui atteint les 53,95 % à la fin de l’expérimentation, ce qui fait que leur taux en glycémie se rapproche de celui des normoglycémiques. Le sorgho blanc présente, d’une part, une diminution significative de la peroxydation lipidique intracellulaire et, d’autre part, une augmentation de l’activité de la glutathion peroxydase, la glutathion réductase ainsi que la vitamine C. Ces approches méthodologiques peuvent, en améliorant la connaissance de l’importance des céréales (fibres alimentaires solubles et des polyphénols) dans l’évolution du diabète, aboutir à des recommandations et à une éducation nutritionnelle du diabétique.

The study describes sulfuric acid pretreatment of straw from Secale cereale L. (rye straw) to evaluate the effect of acid concentration and treatment time on the efficiency of biofuel production. The highest ethanol yield occurred after the enzyme treatment at a dose of 15 filter paper unit (FPU) per gram of rye straw (subjected to chemical hydrolysis with 2% sulfuric acid (SA) at 121 °C for 1 h) during 120 h. Anaerobic digestion of rye straw treated with 10% SA at 121 °C during 1 h allowed to obtain 347.42 L methane/kg volatile solids (VS). Most hydrogen was released during dark fermentation of rye straw after pretreatment of 2% SA, 121 °C, 1 h and 1% SA, 121 °C, 2 h—131.99 and 134.71 L hydrogen/kg VS, respectively. If the rye straw produced in the European Union were processed into methane, hydrogen, ethanol, the annual electricity production in 2018 could reach 9.87 TWh (terawatt-hours), 1.16 TWh, and 0.60 TWh, respectively.
