Improving the Yield and Nutritional Quality of Forage Crops [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Despite being some of the most important crops globally, there has been limited research on forages when compared with cereals, fruits, and vegetables. This review summarizes the literature highlighting the significance of forage crops, the current improvements and some of future directions for improving yield and nutritional quality. We make the point
