seeding ratetriticaleSainfoin ( Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) is one of the most drought‐tolerant perennial legumes that can thrive in dry, alkaline soils. A 3‐year study in the Central Anatolian Region of Turkey compared the persistence, productivity and nutritive value of sainfoin planted ...
Seeding rate were 8.0 kg sainfoin, 4.0 kg alfalfa, and 3.0 kg grasses per decar (1/10 hasup-1/sup). Mixtures used 50% of legumes and grasses. 5.0 kg Psub2/sub0sub5/sub in autumn, and 5.0 kg N were applied in spring for one of each subplots. The contribution of the mixtures...
However, legume yield and total yield in an alternate-row seeding of sainfoin–pubescent wheatgrass were higher than in a mixed-row seeding. Sainfoin is a suitable alternative to alfalfa in parts of the prairie region, but particular attention must be paid t...
Regardless of source or inclusion rate, CO had no effect on the molar proportions of a+b:p. In conclusion, the AG treatment had higher digestibility and produced less CH4 compared to all other sainfoin treatments, which may indicate that CT in in sainfoin had no effect on CH4 production...
