Completed Competitive Grant

Establishment and persistence of legumes on sites varying in aspect, landscape position and soil type

Project ID: 1997-29

Abstract

Most Iowa pastures display only a small variety of plant species, resulting in large seasonal and annual variations in pasture productivity. This project evaluated the causes for these variations in cool-season grass pastures and considered ways to improve diversity of legume species used for grazing.
