| Summary: | accessions along with twoVigna species were also evaluated in aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal]. With supplemental all forages were sufficient for plant physiological Brazos Valley of east central Texas. These legumes were: two cowpea [Vigna urtguiculata (L.) Walp.], and mat bean [Vigna cowpea and mat bean were 4,413 to 5,283 kg/ha, respectively. cultivars of yellow serradella (Ornithopus compressus L.), cultivars were planted again in the fall of 1994 and digestibility analysis results indicated that cowpea was the entry GEH-69 was the only genotype adapted to the alkaline established well during the cool season. Seven serradella g/pot for mat bean and cowpea, respectively. Serradella high temperatures and drought stress. The two serradelia high temperatures on both soil types. During 1994, yields of irrigation, 1993 yields of the Vigna species produced biomass kg/ha, respectively), and did not grow well under warm summer Madeira and Paros respectively, on either soil type under Madeira serradella (770/o), and Paros serradella (72 O/o). maintenance and met or exceeded animal requirements. In situ most digestible forage (90%) followed by mat bean (85%), Paros and Madeira' produced less biomass, (400 to 720 ranging from 0.62 to 7.26 g/pot compared to 0.46 to 7.58 ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 kg/ha. The serradella cultivars sandy loam, pH 7.3 and Weswood silt loam, pH 8. 1) in the Serradella germination percentages were low (11 to 22%) for temperatures. The Vigna species produced greater yield under the 1993 summer season on two soil types (Boonville fine the greenhouse. The serradella genotypes produced biomass The performance of four forage legumes was assessed during Weswood soil (pH 8. 1). Macro- and micronutrient contents of |
