Protein in red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), a forage that does not contain condensed tannins, has been found to be degraded less extensively in the rumen than the protein in other non-tannin legumes. The objective of this study was to determine if there are genetic differences in rumen degradability of the protein in red clover forage. Field grown forage was harvested from 133 red clover ent...

the objective of these investigation were use of berseem clover (trifolium alexandrinum ) in double cropping system (after autumns crop) to improve forage production in shahrekord region. the experiments were carried out in the preliminary, research and farmer field condition in 2005, 2006-7 and 2013 respectively. in 2005 the results showed that there is possibility of double cropping of bersee...

in order to evaluate intercropping of summer savory (satureja hortensis l.) and persian clover (trifolium resupinatum l.), an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2004 growing season. treatments were sole cropping of persian clover (eight rows), double-row intercropping of persian clover and summer savory with 27, 40 and 80 plants.m-2 (e...

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies among Iranian women. Nowadays, the use of traditional medicinal plants has emerged as a tempting complementary to the treatment of breast cancer due to minimal side effects and less documented drug resistance. The aim of this study was to examine the anticancer effects of the essential oils of red clover and mature fruit of Bass...

Legumes of the genera Astragalus (milkvetch), Coronilla (crownvetch), Lathyrus (pea vine), Lotus (birdsfoot trefoil), Medicago (alfalfa), Melilotus (clover), Trifolium (clover), and Vicia (common vetch) were inoculated with a population of Melaidogyne chitwoodi from Utah or with one of three M. hapla populations from California, Utah, and Wyoming.Thirty-nine percent to 86% of alfalfa (M. scutel...

Breeding for improved resistance and tolerance to the clover root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne trifoliophila, and the clover cyst nematode, Heterodera trifolii , has been successful in white c lover, Trifolium repens. White clover lines developed from three independent breeding programmes were established in field trials at Lincoln, Palmerston North, Cambridge and Kerikeri. Plants were establishe...

The effect of flavonoids isolated from arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonized and noncolonized clover roots on the number of entry points and percentage of root colonization of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) by Gigaspora rosea, Gi margarita, Glomus mosseae and G. intrarradices symbionts was determined. With fungi of both genera, a correlation between the number of entry points and the perce...

Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is one of the most important legume forage species in temperate livestock agriculture. Tetraploid red clover cultivars are generally producing less seed than diploid cultivars. Improving the seed setting potential of tetraploid cultivars is necessary to utilize the high forage quality and environmentally sustainable nitrogen fixation ability of red clover. In ...

The aim of the study was to determine phytoestrogen content in fresh-cut legume forage. This issue has been much discussed in recent years in connection with the health and safety of feedstuffs and thus livestock health. The experiments were carried out on two experimental plots at Troubsko and Vatín, Czech Republic during June and July in 2015. Samples were collected of the four forage legume ...
