Forages: The Science of Grassland Agriculture, 7th Edition, Volume II will extensively evaluate the current knowledge and information on forage agriculture. Chapters written by leading researchers and authorities in grassland agriculture are aggregated under section themes, each one representing a major topic within grassland science and agriculture. This 7th edition will include two new additional chapters covering all aspects of forage physiology in three separate chapters, instead of one in previous editions. Chapters will be updated throughout to include new information that has developed since the last edition. This new edition of the classic reference serves as a comprehensive supplement to An Introduction to Grassland Agriculture, Volume I.

The development of legume use in agricultural production in the tropics lags far behind the temperate areas and extensive research over recent decades has aimed to rectify the lack of available leguminous fodder species available for heavy clay soils. This book draws together that research and explores the importance of heavy clay soils to agricultural productivity in the tropics and subtropics and the identification of adapted, productive forage legumes for these environments. Providing an invaluable example of how a global search for adapted and productive forage germplasm has been - and can be - undertaken, and allowing access to a significant body of knowledge that was acquired before the digitalization of reports, this book will be a key resource for new scientists and experienced researchers in the areas of agriculture and forage agronomy.

Identifies the 15 most common annual & perennial grasses in Midwestern pastures: the predominant seeded Midwestern grasses, the most common native pasture grasses, & a few annual weedy grasses. Helps you identify grasses the first year, when you need to know whether a seeding was successful. Helps you identify grasses in established pastures so you can make informed decisions about pasture mgmt., fencing, & renovation. Chapters: seed & seedling identification for new plantings; vegetative identification for established plants; & info. on growth habit & mgmt. for each of the seeded grasses. Color photos.
