An evaluation of the potential of selected indigenous Namibian forage legumes for feeding goats
… effects on body weights of Boer goats fed native forage legumes compared to lucerne and lablab. In experiment 1, the chemical composition of 14 legumes was determined. In experiment 2, the palatability of Crotalaria argyraea, C. podocarpa, Otoptera burchellii and Vigna lobatifolia was determined …

The Impact of Selected Forage Legumes on Cattle Performance, Forage Production, and Soil Quality, and Evaluation of Legume Persistence under Grazing
<p>Interest in substituting legumes for N fertilizer in beef cattle grazing systems has recently increased with rising fertilizer prices. Legumes are well known for their ability to fix atmospheric N and decrease dependence on input of N fertilizer. However, there are still difficulties associated …

Crop Management for the Greater Utilization of Symbiotically Fixed Nitrogen
… 3-year study of simulated aerial interseeding of forage legumes, alfalfa, red clover, and sweetclover into standing soybeans was undertaken to examine the potential nitrogen contribution from forage legumes under interseeding competition. Results indicated that light and moisture were the most …

Evaluation of African trifolium species for growth and biological nitrogen fixation
Throughout the African highlands forage legumes are relied on to add soil N, support increasing livestock populations, and reduce soil erosion. This research addresses a constraint designated by the International Livestock Center for Africa (ILCA) to identify African clover (Trifolium) germplasm …

Legume Establishment in Native Warm-Season Grass Pastures
Interseeding legumes in native warm-season grasses (NWSG) may improve the nutritive value of the stand, result in more consistent forage availability throughout the growing season, and increase forage yield. These benefits are often not realized due to difficulties in establishing legumes in …

Evaluation of florpyrauxifen-benzyl for use in pastures and hayfields
… and hayfields in order to ensure maximum forage yields. Typically, broadleaf weed control in pastures and hayfields is achieved through the use of synthetic auxin. However, these herbicides also control desirable broadleaf species such as forage legumes, including white clover. Use of …
