Root Rot Affects Red Clover More Than Other Forage Legumes in Mixed Grass‐Legume Leys

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 3, July-September 2025.
ABSTRACT Red clover (RC) (Trifolium pratense L.) is the most important forage legume in Swedish mixed grass‐legume (MGL) leys. This study evaluated the persistence of two RC cultivars, white clover (WC), birdsfoot trefoil (BT), and lucerne (LU) in mixtures of timothy and meadow fescue associated with root rot (RR).

Reduced‐lignin alfalfa production in the water‐limited environments of the US Central Great Plains

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Previous studies indicate reduced‐lignin (RL) alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars as a more digestible livestock feed option with minimal reductions in biomass than conventional alfalfa cultivars at the same growth stage, allowing for harvest flexibility. However, these findings are derived from environments with adequate moisture. Thus, RL

Small Grain Forage Trial: Nitrogen Fertility x Harvest Date [PDF]

, 2013
Cool season annual forages, such as cereal grains, can provide early season grazing as well as high quality stored feed. However, it is unclear if quality and yield of these forages could be improved through better nitrogen (N) management.

Dietary Variability Among Mountain Gorilla Groups Across Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Dietary variability among mountain gorilla groups in Volcanoes National Park (VNP) was analyzed to understand how habitat differences influence diet and whether diet quality accounts for variations in population growth rates. The study found distinct diets with minimal overlap between southwest and northeast groups but comparable nutrient ...
