Compatibility, Yield, and Quality of Warm-Season Grass-Legume Mixtures
… the mid-Atlantic region. Perennial warm-season grasses might provide a solution if managed for high quality. Experiments were conducted on separate well-established stands of Caucasian bluestem and 'Cave-in-Rock' switchgrass at the Kentland Farm near Blacksburg, VA. Stages of grass maturity at …

Hydroseeding pine-grass-legume mixtures for erosion control and reforestation of mine spoils
Growth and mycorhizal colonization of surface-seeded pine (Pinus spp.) as affected by two mine-spoil types (siltstone and sandstone), two fertilizer levels (control and 100 kg/ha each of N, P, and K), and three mycorrhizal inoculation treatments (control, 56 kg/ha pine litter, and 250g/ha …

Yield, Quality, and Botanical Composition of Autumn-Accumulated Grass-Legume Mixtures and Digestibility of Ensiled Autumn-Accumulated Orchardgrass and Alfalfa
… and reduce feeding costs. Three stockpiled grass-legume mixtures were evaluated for winter grazing. In addition, stockpiled forages were ensiled and evaluated as livestock feed. Four accumulation dates and seven harvest dates were randomized to small plots of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea …

Sustainable Agronomic Approaches for Reclaimed Wastewater Utilization: A Focus on Phosphorus Removal, Plant Tissue and Soil Nutrients Retention and Leachate Quality using Biochar and Nitrogen Application Rates under Different Forage Systems
… and nutrient removal from a tall fescue-bluegrass mixture. Treatments were three biochar application rates (0, 8.9, 17.8 Mg ha-1) and three N rates (0, 80, 120 kg N ha-1) arranged in a 3 × 3 factorial with four replications each in a randomized complete block design experiment. Data collected …

Interactive effects of climate change and management on grassland greenhouse gas emissions
… and a range of other ecosystem functioning in grasslands. This will be particularly important for the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems due to its role in global food security and soil C sequestration. The interaction between climate warming and grassland management is highly important …

Compatibility, Yield, and Quality of Matua Prairie Grass, Bromus willdenowii (Kunth), with Legumes
Matua prairie grass has a potential to extend the grazing season in Virginia due to its higher early spring and fall production. However, little is known about the compatibility of Matua prairie grass with legumes or the effects of legumes on the yield and quality of Matua prairie grass/legume …

Nitrogen utilization in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) pastures fertilized with nitrogen or grown with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) or red clover (Trifolium pratense L.)
Use of legumes as an alternative to nitrogen (N) fertilization in pasture management improves forage quality and animal performance and has been suggested to reduce the potential for environmental pollution. "Kentucky 3l" tall fescue fertilized with 160 kg N ha-1 yr-1 (split application) was …

Quality and yield of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) as affected by season, legume combinations and nitrogen fertilization
… season of growth, and by the addition of legumes. In 1975 and 1976, 60-day regrowths of tall fescue were evaluated (in vivo) for summer quality when fed alone and in 50:50 grass-legume mixtures to sheep. In 1975, 40-day old alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) growth and in 1976, 60-day old red …

Forage Systems for the Southeastern United States: Crabgrass and Crabgrass-Lespedeza Mixtures
Crabgrass is a warm-season annual species that has the potential to provide high-quality summer forage for ruminants in the transition zone between subtropical and temperate regions of the United States. Growing annual lespedeza in association with crabgrass may be beneficial due to nitrogen …
