Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the drought resistance of the mining area repair plant Sainfoin

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2014
To solve the problem of lack of water in arid areas and barren soil in the process of ecological restoration, the growth and drought resistance of Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) was studied by inoculation of AMF (arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi ...

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

Using legume-based mixtures to enhance the nitrogen use efficiency and economic viability of cropping systems - Final report (LK09106/HGCA3447) [PDF]

, 2013
As costs for mineral fertilisers rise, legume-based leys are recognised as a potential alternative nitrogen source for crops. Here we demonstrate that including species-rich legume-based leys in rotations helps to maximise synergies between agricultural ...

Variation in Forage Yield-Related Traits in a Broad Range of Sainfoin Accessions

Agronomy
Sainfoin (Onobrychis spp.) is a perennial legume forage crop valued for its adaptation to dry environments, nitrogen fixation capacity, and ecosystem service benefits. Despite its agronomic importance, broad comparative evaluations of cultivated sainfoin

Metagenomic Insights Into Vermicompost Tea for Reducing Nitrogen Use and Enhancing Maize Productivity

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vermicompost tea is a liquid organic biofertilizer rich in nutrients, plant hormones, and beneficial microorganisms, offering a strategy to improve nutrient‐use efficiency and reduce crop reliance on mineral fertilizers. Maize requires substantial nitrogen inputs, which can increase production costs.

Enhancement of total lipid production in vegetative tissues of alfalfa and sainfoin using chemical mutagenesis

, 2019
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifoila Scop.) are two key forage legumes for the western Canadian cattle industry. Despite the high protein content, drawbacks to their use exists, including inefficient protein digestibility and ...

Feasibility of grazing sainfoin on the southern Great Plains.

, 1993
Forage is often in short supply on southern Great Plains grasslands during spring because warm-season grasses are dormant or just beginning to grow. Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.), a non-bloat-inducing legume, can provide forage in semiarid ...
