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 ...

Pollinators in Blackcurrant Orchards: Complementary Roles of Sown and Spontaneous Flower Strips and Limited Spillover of Small Wild Bees Within Fields

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Sowing flower strips and preserving spontaneous flowers are commonly recommended to support pollinators in agricultural landscapes. In nine blackcurrant orchards, these resources played complementary roles: the abundance of small and large wild bees was positively associated with spontaneous flowers, whereas hoverfly abundance was positively associated

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

Composition and Stability of Leaf Condensed Tannins in White Clover (Trifolium repens L) Expressing the Transcription Factor TaMYB14‐1 From Trifolium arvense

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Condensed tannins (CTs) are phenolic metabolites that reduce rumen protein degradation, increase livestock productivity, prevent bloat and lower greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen pollution of waterways. White clover (Trifolium repens), a protein‐rich forage legume, accumulates CTs in flowers, but not in leaves; however, foliar CTs can be ...

Contrasting pollination efficiency and effectiveness among flower visitors of Malva sylvestris, Borago officinalis and Onobrychis viciifolia

Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2017
Biotic pollination is an important factor for ecosystem functioning and provides a substantial ecosystem service to human food security. Not all flower visitors are pollinators, however, and pollinators differ in their pollination performances.

SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS IN SAINFOIN (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.)

CURRENT TRENDS IN NATURAL SCIENCES
Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) is a perennial legume used for forage production. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different basal media (Murashige&Skoog-MS, Schenk& Hildebrant-SH, Gamborg-B5 or CHU-N6), explant types (cotyledon and hypocotyl), and growth regulators (kinetin and thidiazuron) on the induction of ...
