Influence of drought stress on nutritive value of perennial forage legumes
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
In the next decades, forage legumes are likely to become more important. However, predicted climate change may increase the risk of droughts and thus influence their agricultural performance. Decreases in yield due to water shortage are well documented, while influences on nutritive values are inconsistent. Therefore, we examined the effects of drought on crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) of six legumes, birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.); marsh birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus uliginosus Schkuhr); black medic (Medicago lupulina L.); yellow alfalfa (Medicago falcata L.); sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) in monoculture and in mixture with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) in a container experiment in a vegetation hall. Moderate and strong drought stress was applied during three periods in two years. Mean volumetric soil water content at the end of the moderate drought stress period was 11 vol. % and 6 vol. % under strong stress. The effect of drought on nutritive values was considerably less pronounced than on yield. While the impact of moderate stress on nutritive quality was negligible, we found decreases in CP, NDF and ADF and increases in WSC under strong stress. This may indicate that water scarcity could even increase fodder quality and digestibility. However, the choice of legume species and stand (monoculture or mixture) had stronger effects on nutritive values than drought. We conclude that the reaction of temporary drought on nutritive values seems to be less important for the selection of suitable forage legumes species than other agronomic properties under conditions of climate change. Keywords: Crude protein; NDF; ADF; Water-soluble carbohydrates.

Influence of Different Seeding Dates on Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) Forage Yield and Nutritive Value
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is used as medicinal plant in many Asian countries and has been reported to have forage quality similar to alfalfa. Fenugreek is an annual crop and may have the potential to diversify forage production systems in the central High Plains. This study evaluated forage dry matter (DM) production and the nutritive value of three fenugreek cultivars as influen...

Irrigated Birdsfoot Trefoil Variety Trial: Forage Nutritive Value
Birdsfoot trefoil is a high-quality forage recommended for irrigated perennial pastures, either in mixtures with grasses or in pure stands. In this bulletin we report on the forage nutritive value of pure stands of birdsfoot trefoil harvested at 6week intervals, and compare it to alfalfa harvested at the same intervals. We found that the digestibility of the two forages was similar, but that al...

Animal manure and urine deposition can cause localized patches of high ionic strength (IS) soil in pastures, influencing plant production, nutritive value and sward composition. Chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) appears to thrive in high-nutrient input situations, but no information is available on chicory response to increasing IS. In a greenhouse experiment, we evaluated the effect of rhizospher...
