Description
An account is given of the long-range importance that should be attributed to the use of No. 701 tetraploid alsike clover as an early maturity, fast-growing, high-yield competitive leguminous plant for irrigated pastures and arable forage cultivation.
Leguminous plants are of very great importance to forage production at large. They actually constitute a major source for nitrogen supply. This underlines their decisive role in grassland farming as a device by which to get to grips with the nitrogen deficit. Pasture productivity can best be improved by proper arrangement of plant associations with forage crop partners of the legume family which ensure over long periods of time high yields in terms of weight, protein, and essential amino acids
