in order to evaluate the weed diversity in forage crop fields such as alfalfa (medicago sativa l.), clover (trifolium sp.) and sainfoin (onobrychis spp.) in different provinces of iran, a study was conducted by using data from reports of plant protection organization, ministry of agriculture during 2008. after evaluation of weed species and definition of weed family, these species classified ba...

this experiment was carried out to study the effects of sainfoin (onobrychis viciifolia) as tannin source and different level of forage: concentrate ratio on digestibility, blood parameters, ruminal fermentation, milk yield and milk composition in milking ewes. therefore, eight lori milking ewes were alocated to factorial experiment base on the 4×4 replicated latin square design. four total mix...

The potential for novel forage mixtures to address reduced herbage late season grazing was investigated. Forage legumes, sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) (SF) cvs. AC Mountainview, Shoshone, and Nova (MountainSF, ShoshoneSF, NovaSF), cicer milkvetch (Astragalus L.) cv. Veldt (CMV), Canadian canadensis Great Plains (CaMV), alfalfa (Medicago sativa Yellowhead (ALF) were evaluated in binary ...

The use of plants to remove Poly-aromatic-hydrocarbons (PAHs) from soil (phytoremediation) is emerging as a cost-effective method. Phytoremediation of contaminated soils can be promoted by the use of adding microorganisms with the potential of pollution biodegradation (bioaugmentation). In the present work, the effect of bacterial consortium was studied on the capability of Sorghum and Onobrych...
