Interseeding sainfoin with alfalfa offers early‐season increase in forage production

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a widely cultivated forage legume valued for its high forage mass and nutritive value but is often associated with pasture bloat in ruminants. Interseeding alfalfa with sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia), a tannin‐rich legume known for its anti‐bloating properties and environmental benefits, has emerged as a ...

Inter‐row flowering strips enhance pest suppression and improve tree physiological performance in pine nurseries

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
To reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides and improve planting‐stock quality, nursery managers may consider integrating perennial flowering strips into inter‐rows, particularly under comparable pine nursery conditions. This nature‐based intervention was associated with reduced sap‐sucking pest pressure, probably mediated by increased natural enemy ...

A Pilot Approach Investigating the Potential of Crop Rotation With Sainfoin to Reduce Meloidogyne enterolobii Infection of Maize Under Greenhouse Conditions

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are one of the most important plant-parasitic nematodes of cereal crops in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was designed to evaluate the rotation effects of different cultivars of sainfoin (Esparsette, Perly, Taja and Visnovsky),

Induced resistance of plants reduces their negative soil‐legacy effects on natives but not on naturalized aliens

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Plant resistance induced during soil conditioning altered subsequent soil‐legacy effects on plant growth. While conditioned soils reduced the performance of both native and naturalized alien plants, resistance induction largely eliminated the growth disadvantage of native species.

Harvested Forages for Horses From a Feeding Perspective—A Systematic Literature Review

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to the important role of forages in equine diets, the aim of this project was to perform a systematic literature review of the area with relevance for Northern Europe. The objectives were to identify the currently available published peer‐reviewed literature on forages for horses from an equine feeding perspective and to summarize it to ...

Genetic variation for clonal propagation and trait association with field performance in sainfoin

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2016
Clonal plant materials with identical genotypes may be used to precisely detect environmental effects and genotype x environment interactions resulting in a more accurate estimate of genetic parameters in plant genetic analysis.

Pellets enriched with healthy hay and quebracho are not sufficient to control gastrointestinal nematodes in meat sheep commercial flocks

Parasitology
The emergence of AH multiresistant GIN compromises sustainability of grassland sheep farming worldwide. Plants rich in condensed tannins are an alternative method of parasitism management that is currently being explored. Feed supplementation trials with

Concentration and composition of condensed tannins in leaves from fodder trees and shrubs in Pakistan

JSFA reports, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 212-219, June 2026.
Abstract Background The lack of dependable, high‐quality forage and animal feedstuffs in many areas of the world hampers livestock production. In these regions, farmers often rely on native fodder tree and shrub leaves as a forage source for their animals with little or no information available on nutritional factors of these feedstuffs.

No one‐size‐fits‐all: Trait‐dependent effects of local plant diversity on pollinators and pollination service in a densifying city

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Increasing local floral richness can support pollination success of specialised plants in dense urban landscapes. However, a floral enrichment strategy alone is less effective for generalist plants, which are typically more abundant in plant communities.

Analysis of Aphanomyces euteiches in Swedish Commercial Pea Field Soils and in Legume Cover Crops Using Droplet Digital PCR

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Workflow for investigation of Aphanomyces euteiches occurrence in 24 field soil samples collected from different regions in Sweden using droplet digital PCR and bioassays with susceptible pea cv. Linnea. ABSTRACT Aphanomyces root rot (ARR), caused by Aphanomyces euteiches, is a major constraint in pea (Pisum sativum) production.
