Effects of prescribed fire timing on vigor of sericea lespedeza in the Kansas Flint Hills
… prescribed burning on vigor of the noxious weed, sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata; SL) in native tallgrass prairie over a 4-yr period. We hypothesized that annual prescribed burning conducted during the growing season would selectively pressure SL, whereas locally-conventional, dormant-season …

Compatibility, Yield, and Quality of Warm-Season Grass-Legume Mixtures
… Legume species included alfalfa, red clover, sericea lespedeza, annual lespedeza, Illinois bundleflower, and purple prairieclover. Inter-seeded legumes contributed a significant amount to yield and quality of perennial warm-season grasses in the legume-establishment year. In the year after …

Assessing the potential of mixed grazing goats with beef cattle to improve animal performance and increase the utilization of marginal pasturelands in the Appalachian coal region
… autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb.), and sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata (Dum.-Cours.) G. Don). The steep topography and low economic returns from beef cattle make conventional control methods inhibitive. Goats are effective browsing on invasive plant species. An experiment was …

Strategies to Improve Forage Utilization by Sheep Offered Forage Mixtures
… g/kg; CONT) or alfalfa silage mixed with chopped sericea lespedeza (SL) hay to provide 90 (LOW), 180 (MED), or 270 g/kg SL (HIGH) on a dry matter basis in a randomized complete block design experiment with 2 period to provide 4 observations per treatment for each experimental period. Increasing …

Soil-plant root relationships of herbaceous biomass crops grown on the Piedmont of Virginia
… trefoil (<i>Lotus corniculatus</i>), and sericea lespedeza (<i>Lespedeza cuneata</i>) were all heavily influenced by the high densities of the nearly structureless Appling soils; but lovegrass roots were quite prolific there. For this reason lovegrass should be considered first for biomass …

Seed Priming and Smoke Water Effects on Germination and Seed Vigor of Selected Low-Vigor Forage Legumes
… responses of birdsfoot trefoil, kura clover, and sericea lespedeza. Differences were not observed using standard germination tests, but both priming methods show potential for increased germination rate (P>0.05). Conflicting results for matric and osmotic priming were found in terms of seed …

Erosion control with vegetation in highway corridors
… legumes like crownvetch (Coronilla varia L.) or sericea (Lespedeza cuneata G. Don.), requiring little or no mowing or fertilizer maintenance. In difficult environments or in adverse seeding seasons, multi-step seeding and fertilization is usually required. Erosion from slopes with sparse grassy …

Behavior and Physiological Responses of Livestock Under Different Grazing Systems
… to one of the two diet supplement treatments - sericea lespedeza pellets (LES) or sericea lespedeza pellets mixed with polyethylene glycol (LES+PEG) for 12 weeks during the summers of 2020 and 2021. The LES+PEG treatment served as a positive control since polyethylene glycol binds tannins, …

Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Ammonia Volatilization from Soil Amended with Excreta from Ruminants Fed Alternative Forage-based Diets
… silage diets supplemented with 0, 9, 18, or 27% sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneate [Dumont de Courset] G. Don) (n = 4). In the second trial sheep were fed alfalfa silage diets supplemented with 0, 9, 18, or 27% of lablab (Lablab purpureus L.) (n = 4), and urine and feces were collected for 5 …
