Researchers have sequenced and assembled the DNA of red clover to help breeders improve the beneficial traits of this important forage crop. Before industrial nitrogen fertiliser production (from ...

Modern technology can help producers “double dip” by establishing cover crops earlier in the season and achieve both fall and ...

One of the current interests in cattle production research is the inclusion of a legume which might be expected to increase forage yields and reduce the need of N fertilization. The clover should ...

AMES, Iowa -- Kura clover has many characteristics that producers are looking for. The forage legume is persistent, winter-hardy, grazing-tolerant, and endures both drought and poor drainage. Kura ...

Since World War II, the tiny wildflower has been sidelined as a weed and duly killed off by petrochemical herbicides designed for large-scale crop production and perfectly manicured lawns. But the ...

The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC) in collaboration with IBERS, has sequenced and assembled the DNA of red clover to help breeders improve the beneficial traits of this important forage crop. The ...

Before industrial nitrogen fertiliser production (from fossil fuels), red clover and other legume crops were essential in crop rotation, improving soil fertility. Legumes boost soil nitrate fertility ...
