in order to evaluate forage quality in intercropping, two field experiments were carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran, in 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 growing seasons. two maize (zea mays l.) hybrids (sc704, sc301), vetch (vicia villosa), bitter vetch (vicia ervilia), ber...

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...

The true digestibility of amino acids of 5 groups of different Trifolium varieties and hybrids was established by using the balance method adapted for geese. Digestibility of the most important amino acids Lysine varies from 70.40 (for tetraplod red clover) to 81.78 (for medium leafy white clover varieties); for Methionine from 60.54 (for Trifolium repens f. giganteum) to 89.42 (diploid red clo...

Winter catch crops are grown to scavenge nutrients over a period of unfavorable growth conditions and conserve for subsequent release the following main crop. Since environmental have strong impact on nutrient capture in roots shoots individual crop species, we anticipated that mixtures will be more durable efficient due compensatory effects among component species. We tested this hypothesis de...

Here, we describe Trifolium absconditum sp. nov., a new species of the T. amabile complex from South America. It differs from other Peruvian Trifolia of the complex by having smaller stipules, leaves, inflorescences, and floral pieces. A key for Peruvian species of the complex is presented, and typifications for them are made when necessary and material is available in Peruvian herbaria. Thus, ...

In this study, the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Vicia villosa, Trifolium ochroleucum and Onobrychis altissima samples were investigated. For this purpose, plant extracts were tested against 3 fungus, 4 Gr(-) and 3 Gr(+) bacteria; additionally the glutathione (GSH) level and total phenolic content were measered spectrophtometrically and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was done by...

Trifolium, the clover genus, is one of the largest genera of the legume family. We conducted parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer and chloroplast trnL intron sequences obtained from 218 of the ca. 255 species of Trifolium, representatives from 11 genera of the vicioid clade, and an outgroup Lotus. We confirm the monophyly of Tri...

Some plant species belonging to Trifolium L. genus are a source of isoflavones considered to exert phytoestrogenic activities. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of standardized extract obtained from aerial parts of Trifolium medium L., in comparison with the extract of Trifolium pratense L., on the development of estrogen deficiency-induced osteoporosis in rats. Both Trifo...
