Cultivars and experimental lines of a promising forage legume - Astragalus cicer. Evaluation for forage yield in Fort Collins
1983
TOWNSEND, C. E.
An evaluation of some new cultivars and experimental lines of cicer milk vetch (<em>Asparagus cicer</em> L., <em>Fabaceae)</em> selected in the last decade for forage yield, seedling vigour and recovery after harvest are briefly summarized. The examined samples are promising especially in grazing conditions. The new cultivars have a better stand establishment, a good average forage yield of 13,27 MT/ha (oven-dry basis) and a high protein content. No injuries in grazing animals have been reported till now. The variability in forage yield between the cultivars and experimental lines suggests further possibilities of breeding.
