Nitrogen Fixation and Resource Partitioning in Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), Cicer Milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) and Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) Using ¹⁵N Enrichment under Controlled Environment Conditions

Agronomy, 2020
Availability of nitrogen (N) limits pasture production. Inclusion of legumes into grass pastures can provide an alternative N source through biological N2 fixation (BNF), and enhance retention and cycling of soil C and N.

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 ...

The response of various ecotypes of common sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia L.) to the foliar application of nitrogen, iron and zinc in a cold climate of

پژوهشهای زراعی ایران, 2009
Common sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia L.) is a forage crop belonging to the legume family. The crop is characterized by numerous favorable criteria such as the capability to fix atmospheric nitrogen symbiotically.

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

A chromosome-level genome assembly for Onobrychis viciifolia reveals gene copy number gain underlying enhanced proanthocyanidin biosynthesis

Communications Biology
Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia), which belongs to subfamily Papilionoideae of Leguminosae, is a vital perennial forage known as “holy hay” due to its high contents of crude proteins and proanthocyanidins (PAs, also called condensed tannins) that have ...

An online survey of farmers' perspectives on the adoption of multispecies swards: Barriers, benefits and knowledge gaps

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 376-388, December 2025.
An Irish farmer survey found that multispecies swards can reduce fertiliser use and enhance drought resilience and biodiversity. While awareness is high, adoption is limited by challenges like weed control and grazing management. Farmers want clearer guidance and prefer learning through hands‐on events like open days and discussion groups.

Leveraging high‐dimensional seed colorspace in phenomic selection models for herbaceous perennial crops

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, December 2025.
Abstract Herbaceous perennial crops, which only recently entered the domestication pipeline, offer the potential of ecological benefits in agricultural systems but remain underdeveloped, partly due to slow breeding cycles. Early‐stage phenomic selection, the process of using high‐dimensional secondary traits to predict target traits, may accelerate ...

Method for selecting sainfoin biotypes

InterConf
The article is devoted to the assessment of new criteria for the selection of sainfoin biotypes in the selection process at the initial stages of organogenesis. During the laying of the nursery of the source material, the summer sowing of sainfoin was carried out.
