Description
Due to its characteristics (palatability, non-bloating, high protein, high voluntary intake etc.: Frame, 1998), sainfoin was a traditional forage legume in the UK, grown widely during the 17-19th century (Bland, 1971). It has almost disappeared in recent years. The rise of organic farming and the need for home-grown protein may encourage the return of sainfoin. This experiment aimed to explore the impact of sowing date and autumn management on the growth and yield of sainfoin in UK.
