The unique properties of red clover in the diet of ruminants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Grassland legumes are essential in organic ruminant livestock production due to their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen (N), providing high yields of high feeding value without N fertilization.

Assessing the viability of genebanked seeds from rare, wild plants native to the United States using the D.E.A.D. paradigm

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Genebanks must maintain viable seeds for decades. Seeds that germinate are clearly alive, but some seeds, often from wild populations, do not germinate because they are dormant, empty, aged, or damaged (D.E.A.D.). This work evaluates the effects of D.E.A.D.

Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...

Perennial Forage Trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In 2015, the University of Vermont Extension Northwest Crops and Soils Program initiated a trial investigating forage yield, quality, and nitrogen use efficiency of cool season perennial grasses alone and in combination with red clover. The grass species

Invasive Pigweed (Amaranthus spinosus) as a Potential Source of Plant Secondary Metabolites to Mitigate Enteric Methane Emissions in Beef Cattle

open access: yesGrasses
Global beef demand will rise by 40 million tons in 30 years, increasing methane (CH4) emissions. Pigweed (Amaranthus spinosus), an invasive weed abundant in southeastern U.S. pastures, may mitigate CH4.

Summer Annual Variety Trial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Warm season grasses are a high-yielding summer annual. They can provide quality forage in the hot summer months, when cool season grasses are not as productive. The addition of this crop into your rotation can allow you to harvest high-quality forage for
