Harnessing Bioactive‐Rich Forage Species in Multi‐Species Grasslands: Where Do We Stand? Challenges and Future Perspectives

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 2, April-June 2026.
ABSTRACT The integration of bioactive‐rich forage species into multi‐species grassland systems represents a promising strategy to enhance ruminant productivity and mitigate environmental impacts. Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) provide a range of biofunctional properties, including the reduction of enteric methane (CH4) emissions, urinary nitrogen ...

RNA‐Seq analysis revealed differentially expressed genes linked to seed size variation in sainfoin

Grassland Science, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 123-133, April 2026.
Abstract Sainfoin is a perennial forage legume with many desirable characteristics such as easy to establish, bloat‐free trait for grazing ruminants and providing pollinator habitat and biological nitrogen fixation to soil. However, adoption of this species is often hindered by high seed cost associated with its larger seed size compared to other ...

Soil Physical Health in Mixed Crop Rotations: Roles of Grassland Proportion, Cattle Manure and Grass‐Mixture Diversity

Soil Use and Management, Volume 42, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
ABSTRACT Integrating grasslands into cropping systems has benefits for nutrient cycling and weed control. Beyond that, grasslands are also recognized for their ability to improve soil organic carbon (SOC) and structural stability (SS). This study examined how grassland proportion, fertilization and grassland mixture, both during the grassland phase and

Selection of suitable additives for seed pelletizing to enhance germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia in restoration of semi‐arid degraded rangelands

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Despite direct seeding, seed pelletizing with useful materials is one of the effective methods to improve plant growth. This experiment assessed the impacts of different additives used in seed pelletizing on germination and growth of Onobrychis viciifolia at a degraded semi‐arid rangeland.

Morphological and biochemical responses of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) ecotypes to salinity

LEGUME RESEARCH - AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL, 2017
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different NaCl concentrations (0, 100 and 150 mM) on the morphological and biochemical parameters of different sainfoin ecotypes ‘Koçaº’, ‘Malya,’ ‘Altýnova’ and ‘Ulaþ’ under controlled conditions. The morphological parameters included seed germination, seedling and root lengths, and seedling fresh and

Beneficial Effects of Temperate Forage Legumes that Contain Condensed Tannins

Agriculture, 2015
The two temperate forage legumes containing condensed tannins (CT) that promote ruminant production are birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.; BFT) and sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.; SF). Both are well-adapted to the cool-temperate climate and
