Influence of cutting frequency and height on phytoestrogen levels in red clover and white clover
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Phytoestrogens are a class of secondary compounds naturally produced by some forage legumes, including red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.). Previous research showed that phytoestrogens can have beneficial and negative effects on animal health and reproductive function.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Perennial grasses and legumes are important for the reclamation of salt‐affected land. A comparison study on salt tolerance of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and hybrid wheatgrass (Elymus hoffmannii) could contribute to understanding the relative salt tolerance of these species, in addition to providing germplasm information for salt tolerant ...

Sainfoin stand termination: Variable herbicide efficacy in field conditions
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract Effective termination of perennial forage legumes is a critical step in a crop rotation system, particularly in arid and semi‐arid regions where soil moisture conservation and timely establishment of subsequent crops are essential. Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.), a deep‐rooted, drought‐tolerant forage legume gaining renewed interest ...

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Seed moisture content (SMC) is the most reliable indicator of seed maturity and the optimal harvest timing in grass seed crops. Current SMC testing methodologies used in grass seed crops are slow or inaccurate, making it difficult to make timely harvest decisions.

Assessing forage mass using smartphone imagery for cereal rye under grazing conditions in Nebraska
Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Managing grazing efficiency requires reliable and practical tools to estimate forage mass. Traditional methods like clipping, though accurate, are time consuming and labor intensive. In this study, two imaging tools, Canopeo and the Crop Canopy Image Analyzer (CCIA), were evaluated for their efficacy in estimating the forage mass of cereal rye
