Seed enhancement methods are applied to eliminate or decrease adverse environmental stresses effects and increase seed germination rate and vigor of rangeland plants. The aim of this study was to assess different methods of seed coating effects on germination speed of Onobrychis sativa at different sowing depths and soil moisture levels. The experiment was conducted at growth chamber to apply a...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity, relationship between morphological, agronomic and qualitative traits and to identify components of forage yield using some multivariate statistical methods in local sainfoin populations. the experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center...

this experiment was carried out the aim of the effect of sainfoin forage and forage:concentrate ratios on feed intake, nitrogen balance,ruminal biohydrogenation and milk fatty acid profile in dairy ewes using of eight lori breed ewes according to a replicated 4 × 4 latin square design. treatments were adjusted from one to four according to forage:concentrate ratios of 35:65 with and without sai...

The 5-deoxyisoflavones, afrormosin and formononetin have been isolated from healthy leaves of Onobrychis viciifolia. In addition to these compounds, several other flavonoid (isoliquiritigenin; liquiritigenin; garbanzol) and isoflavonoid (medicarpin; vestitol) derivatives including the new isoflavanone, vestitone (7,2'-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavanone), are present in leaves inoculated with the ...

drought stress is the main limiting factor in the arid and semi-arid region of the world. this research was conducted to evaluate drought tolerance in different accessions of sainfoin for yield, morphological and agronomic traits in 2010. twenty one accessions (landraces and varieties) were evaluated in two environments including drought stress and non-stress conditions for four harvests accord...
