Comparison of Forage Yield and Quality of Forage Legume [PDF]
ABSTRACT Forage legumes are being used as an important source of protein for dairy farm as well as nitrogenfertilizer. This experiment was conducted to evaluate forage production and quality of five legumes at CheonanYonam College Experimental Livestock Farm for 1 year(2001 2002).

Switchgrasses: Forage Yield, Forage Quality and Water-Use Efficiency [PDF]
The purpose of the study was to evaluate 3 strains of switchgrass (Panicum virguturn L.) under 3 water and 3 harvest regimes. Dry matter yields, under natural rainfall and full irrigation, averaged 2.0 and 6.7 metric tons/ha, respectively. Productivity of the 3 strains ranked G 3OO>HV-341>Biackweii. Yields of HV-341 and Blackwell were similar under 1,2,
