Legume Forage Quality

Journal of Crop Production, 2002
Abstract Legume forage quality research is now concerned not only with nutritive value of forage for ruminant animals, but the impact of these nutrients on environmental quality. If we are to move to a more sustainable agriculture worldwide, more legumes must be incorporated into animal production systems.

Toxic constituents of legume forage plants

Economic Botany, 1981
In this review, the toxic and antinutrient compounds biosynthesized by legumes used as forage crops in the United States are described under the categories alkaloids, amino acids, cyanogens, isoflavone and coumestan estrogenic principles, nitro compounds, protease inhibitors, phytohemagglutinins, saponins, selenium compounds and tannins.

Mixtures of legumes for forage production.

2017
In Europe, legumes are mostly grown as single species or in mixtures with cereals or grasses. As an alternative cropping strategy, mixtures of legumes for forage have been developed in Serbia. This novel approach can be applied in many other temperate regions of Europe.

Combining Kura Clover with Forage Legumes and Grasses to Optimize Pasture Forage Legume Content

Agronomy Journal, 2012
Kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb) is an underutilized forage legume with great potential as a durable forage legume in permanent pastures and in living mulch management systems. A major impediment to the widespread use of kura clover is establishment difficulty. Several studies have examined practices for establishing kura clover in pure stands,

The Importance of Forage Legume Epigenetics in the Anthropocene

XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023
As climates change and economic as well as ecological pressures to produce more ruminant product on less land in the Anthropocene increase, the importance of using cutting-edge methods for forage legume improvement grows. The immediate return rate and turnaround on investment is likely greater for multi-species incorporation into grasslands but ...

Therapeutic Potential of Temperate Forage Legumes: A Review

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2015
The discovery of bioactive molecules from botanical sources is an expanding field, preferentially oriented to plants having a tradition of use in medicine and providing high yields and availability. Temperate forage legumes are Fabaceae species that include worldwide-important crops. These plants possess therapeutic virtues that have not only been used

Temperate forage legumes for adverse conditions.

CABI Reviews, 2007
Abstract The suitability of temperate forage legumes for adverse physical conditions is considered. The ability of the major forage legumes i.e. lucerne, white and red clover and birdsfoot trefoil and the 'minor' species, many originating from Mediterranean-type climatic zones, to withstand soil acidity, alkalinity and salinity and drought ...

Shoot tip culture in forage legumes

Plant Science Letters, 1980
Abstract Shoot tips of Trifolium repens, T. pratense and Medicago sativa were cultured on various culture media. Blaydes basal medium and Gamborg B5 basal medium, both supplemented with 0.2 mg/l IAA and 0.2 mg/l 2iPA, gave good plantlet regeneration for T. repens (63–82%) and T. pratense (53–76%). Gamborg B5 with 0.2 mg/l NAA was best for M.

Forage Grasses and Legumes—An Introduction

2016
Grassland covers 27% of the world’s total land area and 71% of the world agricultural area (FAO). Grassland produces large amount of forages for ruminants, maintains soil fertility, protects and conserves soil and water resources, harbors stock of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems, creates a habitat for wildlife, and provides recreational spaces for

Viruses Detected in Forage Legumes in Idaho

Plant Disease, 1989
A limited survey was conducted to identify viruses infecting white clover (Trifolium repens) and other forage legumes in Idaho. Of 93 samples collected in 11 counties, 48 tested positive by ELISA for one or more viruses, including alfalfa mosaic, clover yellow mosaic, clover yellow vein, red clover vein mosaic, and white clover ...
