Description
Several natural populations belonging to 13 different species of annual, biennial and perennial forage leguminous plants were evaluated at Perugia (Italy) for forage quality in 1983 and 1984. On the basis of the results relative to annual legumes, Medicago arabica, M. orbicularis and Trifolium subterraneum appeared interesting materials. For what biennial and perennial species are concerned, T. repens, Lotus corniculatus and L. tenuis which, as well known, are important forage plants in Central and North Europe and North America, showed high feeding values appearing of great interest also in Mediterranean environment.
