 Quick Bibliography SeriesBibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National
 Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for
 current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not
 indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject.  However,
 the citations are a substantial resource for recent investigations
 on a given topic.  They also serve the purpose of bringing the
 literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many
 cases, could not access it by any other
 means.  The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line
 searches of the AGRICOLA data base.  Timeliness of topic and
 evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
 
 The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
 strategy of the Quick Bibliography.  Information regarding
 these is available upon request from the author/searcher.
 
 Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for
 distribution without prior approval.  The inclusion or
 omission of a particular publication or citation may not be
 construed as endorsement or disapproval.

 Abstract:  Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) generally does not
 persist well under continuous grazing. Experiments were
 conducted under continuous grazing to compare the persistence and
 regrowth potential of an alfalfa germplasm (Georgia-Grazed
 Collection, GA-GC), selected for continuous grazing, with two hay-
 type (Apollo and Florida 77) and two grazing-type (Travois and
 Spredor II) cultivars. The germplasm and cultivars were subjected
 to continuous, heavy grazing by beef cattle for 18 weeks in each of
 3 yr to a height of 3 to 5 cm. Wire
 exclosures rotated at 28-d intervals on all plots were used to
 estimate the regrowth potential of each entry during the
 grazing period. Plant and stem counts were taken before and after
 grazing each year as estimates of stand persistence.
 Cultivars differed significantly for stand persistence after 3 yr
 of continuous grazing with 6 to 9 plants m-2 remaining for the hay-
 type cultivars and 40 to 48 plants m-2 remaining for grazing-type
 cultivars. The GA-GC maintained plant densities of 64 plants m-2
 while producing the highest forage regrowth compared with all
 cultivars. Total nonstructural carbohydrates (TNC) in roots at the
 end of 1986 and 1987 grazing seasons
 ranged from 256 g kg-1 for Florida 77 to 429 g kg-1 for
 Travois, suggesting that grazing tolerance may be related to the
 TNC concentration in roots of alfalfa that had been
 heavily and continuously grazed. This study indicates that
 selection for plant persistence under continuous grazing from a
 broad-based population improved the grazing tolerance of the
 resulting germplasm (GA-GC) while maintaining the potential for
 good forage yields.

 Abstract:  The results indicate that unhulled biennial white sweet
 clover seed are superior from the standpoint of hay
 production to scarified seed. One season is too short a time for a
 test of this kind to give conclusive results but the
 consistency of the results lends weight to them. These results are
 presented with the hope that other agronomists will
 conduct tests to determine the comparative value of unhulled,
 scarified, and hulled but not scarified sweet clover seed for hay
 production.

 Abstract:  Cicer milkvetch (Astragalus cicer L.) is a
 promising forage legume, but little information is available on its
 forage production potential, particularly in mixtures with grasses.
 The objectives of these studies were to: (i)
 determine the compatibility of irrigated cicer milkvetch (CMV) with
 seven cool-season grasses each planted in alternate rows, and (ii)
 compare the influence of three planting patterns on the
 compatibility of irrigated CMV with each of four cool-
 season grasses. The seven grass species used in the first
 study were: smooth bromegrass (Bromas inermis Leyss.), meadow
 bromegrass (B. biebersteinii Roem. and Schult.), crested
 wheatgrass [Agropyron cristatum (L.) Beauv. ssp. pectinatum (Bieb.)
 Tzvel.], intermediate wheatgrass [Thinopyrum
 intermedium (Host.) Barkworth & Dewey], pubescent wheatgrass [T.
 intermedium ssp. barbulatum Schur.)], tall wheatgrass [T. elongatum
 (Host.) Dewey], and creeping foxtail (Alopecurus
 arundinaceus Poir.). The grasses used in the second study were
 smooth bromegrass, meadow bromegrass, intermediate wheatgrass, and
 orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.). The soil was a Nunn clay loam
 (mesic Aridic Agriustoll). Tall wheatgrass did not persist beyond
 the second harvest year. There was little, if any, difference among
 the other six grasses for compatibility with CMV because by the
 sixth harvest year the amount of CMV in the mixtures ranged from 76
 to 83%. By the third harvest year, the legume content of the forage
 for the three planting patterns was similar and ranged from about
 80 to 90%. Once
 established, CMV was very competitive with all cool-season
 grasses and its forage yields alone and in grass mixtures were very
 similar to those of alfalfa.

 Abstract:  Cultivar evaluation trials for perennial forage
 grasses traditionally have emphasized forage yield and
 adaptation characteristics, such as maturity, pest
 resistances, and stress resistances. The objectives of this study
 were to evaluate cultivar effects and cultivar X
 environmental factor interactions for relative feed value
 (RFV) of several grass cultivars grown in binary mixtures with
 alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). Grass species were ryegrass
 (Lolium spp., including perennial [L. perenne L.],
 intermediate [L. hybridum], and festulolium [Festulolium
 braunii K.A.]), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.), reed
 canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.), timothy (Phleum
 pratense L.), and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.).
 Relative feed value was computed, as an index of forage
 nutritive value, from neutral and acid detergent fiber (NDF and
 ADF). Cluster analysis revealed that environments based on similar
 cuttings and from the same year tended to cluster
 together. Only cultivars of orchardgrass, ryegrass, and
 timothy varied in RFV. Cultivar X environment interactions
 were species-specific. In orchardgrass and timothy, much of the
 variation was due to differences in cultivar maturity at first
 cutting. These maturity effects also carried over into second-
 cutting RFV for timothy. For perennial ryegrass,
 tetraploids ranked higher in Cut-1 RFV than diploids, but did not
 differ in Cut-2 RFV. Cultivars in at least three perennial forage
 grass species can be separated according to their RFV by replicated
 testing in multiple environments. Replication over at least eight
 environments is necessary to develop broad cultivar inferences. It
 was possible to discern consistent
 tendencies across environments only in orchardgrass and
 timothy, the species for which RFV was related closely to
 maturity.

 Abstract:  The extent of N2 fixation in legume-grass mixtures grown
 in the northcentral USA and the importance of legume to grass N
 transfer are not well understood. The objective of
 this 4-yr field experiment was to determine seasonal N2
 fixation and N transfer by stable isotope methods in swards of
 alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus
 corniculatus L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), and
 ladino white clover (T. repens L.) with reed canarygrass
 (Phalaris arundinacea L.). Alfalfa in mixture with grass fixed the
 most N2 per season (82 to 254 kg N ha-1) and ladino white clover
 the least (1 to 20 kg N ha-1). For all mixtures except birdsfoot
 trefoilgrass, fixation was greatest during Year 2 of the stands.
 The proportion of legume N from symbiotic fixation increased
 progressively from Year 1 through 4 and averaged
 >93% for all legumes in Year 4. Legume to grass N transfer was
 greatest in Year 2 of the stands and averaged approximately 36% of
 grass N across all mixtures. On a land area basis, N transfer in
 Year 2 ranged from 29 to 53 kg N ha-1 and was
 greatest for the ladino white clover-grass mixture. The
 decline in N transfer in Years 3 and 4 was associated with a loss
 in sward legume content, reduced whole-plant dry matter
 accumulation in legume and grass, and large losses in root-
 plus-crown dry matter accumulation by grass in Year 4. The
 results indicate that forage legumes in mixture with grass are
 virtually self-sufficient for N and can concurrently transfer
 appreciable N to the companion grass.

 Abstract:  The introduction of perennial legumes into warm-
 season grass pastures has been shown to improve both forage quality
 and animal performance. Illinois bundleflower
 (Desmanthus illinoensis (Michs.) MacM.) appears to have
 potential for pasture and range interseeding. This study
 investigated establishment methods and the competitive ability and
 longevity of this species when interseeded into kleingrass (Panicum
 coloratum L.) swards. Sabine Illinois bundleflower was drilled or
 broadcast into a mature kleingrass pasture
 either intact or suppressed by disking, paraquat (1-
 dimethyl-4-4 dipyridinium dichloride), or mefluidide (N-[2,4
 dimethyl-5 (trifuromethyl) sulfonyl-amino-phenyl]acetamide). Seed
 was sown in broadcast plots at 6.8 kg PLS/ha compared to 3.4 kg
 PLS/ha in drilled plots. Establishment data were only collected for
 1 year. The establishment year had a wetter than normal spring.
 Treatment effects on legume establishment could differ
 substantially from those found in this study in drier years. Both
 paraquat and disking treatments resulted in good establishment of
 the legume (greater than 10 seedlings m-2 in the establishment
 year). With the exception of disked plots, broadcasting at twice
 the rate of drilled plots resulted in similar seedling legume
 densities between the 2 seeding
 methods. Illinois bundleflower proved to be quite competitive under
 the conditions of this study. The legume component
 increased from 14% in the establishment year to 52% by the
 third year after establishment. Individual Illinois
 bundleflower plants survived for the 4 years of the study.
 Interseeding increased total plot yield in the second, third, and
 fourth years after establishment. Interseeded plots
 produced more biomass than noninterseeded plots 1, 2, and 3 years
 after interseeding.

 Abstract:  Recent studies have shown that wheat (Triticum
 aestivum L.) grown in association with hairy vetch (Vicia
 villosa Roth) has a greater forage quality potential than
 wheat grown alone. The objective of this study was to evaluate the
 forage quality of wheat-vetch with four vetch seeding
 rates at different stages of maturity. In the fall of 1983 and
 1984, field plots were established at the University of
 Illinois South Farm at Urbana, IL. Wheat was planted alone at a
 rate of 324 pure live seeds (PLS) per square meter, on in
 combination with hairy vetch at rates of 0, 54, 108, or 162 PLS/m2
 in a Flanagan silt loam (fine, montmorillonitic, mesic Aquic
 Argiudoll) soil. The forage was harvested when wheat was in the
 boot, anthesis, and milk stages of maturity. Mixed
 samples and individual fractions were analyzed using standard
 forage quality procedures. The vetch proportion was 18.4 and 9.9%
 in 1984 and 1985, respectively. Dry matter yield
 decreased with increasing vetch seeding rate and increased (P less
 than 0.05) as the season progressed. Crude protein
 increased (P less than 0.05) an average of 46.8 and 22.9% in 1984
 and 1985, respectively, as vetch seeding rate increased from 0 to
 162 PLS/m2, crude protein was primarily contributed by the vetch
 fraction, which contained twice as much protein as did wheat in
 both years. Digestibility (P less than 0.05) increased an average
 of 12 and 1% as vetch seeding rate
 increased from 0 to 162 PLS/m2 in 1984 and 1985, respectively.
 Total cell wall concentration was not affected (P greater than
 0.05) by vetch seeding rate. We conclude that the forage
 quality of wheat-vetch sown with a vetch seeding rate of 162 PLS/m2
 was higher than that of wheat-vetch with lower vetch seeding rates.

 Abstract:  Animal performance can be improved by overseeding
 legumes into grass swards, but little is known concerning
 consumption of various legumes over time. This study compared
 selection of various legumes to grass and weeds, and gathered
 information helping in configuring grazing systems. Over two
 grazing seasons, esophageally fistulated steers (Bos taurus)
 sampled replicated pasture systems of; (i) orchardgrass
 (Dactylis glomerata L.) and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) (OG-
 RC), (ii) orchardgrass and birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus
 corniculatus L.) (OG-BFT), and (iii) orchardgrass alone (OG) as
 spring and fall pasture near Columbia, MO. Steers also
 sampled the same treatments as summer hay regrowth, except
 that alfalfa [Medicago sativa L.] replaced birdsfoot trefoil in
 Treatment ii (OG-ALF). Grass dominated swards and steers diets, but
 selectivity ratios (SR) indicated no preferential selection for
 grass by steers. Dietary amounts of birdsfoot trefoil and red
 clover on pasture, and red clover and alfalfa on hay regrowth were
 similar, although availability of red
 clover was generally less than the other legumes. Thus, steers
 selected red clover to a greater extent over birdsfoot trefoil or
 alfalfa early pasture and hay regrowth, and avoided both species
 during the fall. Average SR values indicate
 selectivity for weed species was least on OG-RC followed by OG-BFT,
 OG, and OG-ALf. Diets from grass-legume systems
 contained similar amounts of weeds and legumes, but weed
 proportion increased with time.

 Abstract:  Fall weaned Angus calves grazed stockpiled 1) tall
 fescue Festuca arundinacea Schreb.), 2) tall fescue-red clover
 (Trifolium pratense L.), or 3) tall fescue-alfalfa (Medicago sativa
 L.) or were barn-fed, 4) tall fescue hay, 5)
 orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.)-alfalfa hay, or 6) tall fescue
 silage from late October to early April during each of 5 yr.
 Infection of the fescue with Acremonium coenophialum
 ranged from 0 to 55%. There were two replications each of
 steers and heifers for each forage system in a completely
 random design. Each replicate was grazed by three Angus
 stockers, except for System 1, which was grazed by six
 stockers, for a total of 420 stockers. Each pasture replicate
 contained .8 ha (except System 1, which was 1.6 ha), and the
 stocking rate was one stocker per .27 ha. Fescue hay and
 silage were harvested each spring for barn-fed systems from the
 area stockpiled for grazing by cattle in System 1.
 Nitrogen fertilizer (90 kg/ha) was applied in early spring and
 again in early August, before stockpiling; no N was applied to
 stockpiled fescue grown with legumes. Daily gains by calves grazing
 stockpiled fescue-alfalfa were greater (P < .01) than by calves
 grazing stockpiled fescue-red clover or N-fertilized stockpiled
 fescue (.50, .33, and .34 kg/d, respectively), but fescue-alfalfa
 calves required more days (P < .01) of
 supplemental hay feeding (105, 60, and 36, respectively).
 Calves fed fescue hay in the barn gained more (P < .01) than those
 fed fescue silage. Feeding orchardgrass-alfalfa hay
 resulted in greater gain (P < .01) than feeding fescue hay or
 fescue silage (.50 vs .18 and .07 kg/d, respectively).
 Differences in gains paralleled differences in DMI by cattle fed
 either hay or silage. Grazing stockpiled fescue-alfalfa gave animal
 performance similar to that resulting from the
 feeding of alfalfa-orchardgrass hay and required approximately half
 as much conserved forage. Several forage systems can be
 successfully used to winter stocker cattle

 Abstract:  Six year-round, all-forage, three-paddock systems for
 beef cow-calf production were used to produce five calf crops
 during a 6-yr period. Forages grazed by cows during
 spring, summer, and early fall consisted of one paddock of 1) tall
 fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)-ladino clover
 (Trifolium repens L.) or 2) Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.)-
 white clover (Trifolium repens L.). Each of these forage mixtures
 was combined in a factorial arrangement with two
 paddocks of either 1) fescue-red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), 2)
 orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.)-red clover, or 3)
 orchardgrass-alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), which were used for hay,
 creep grazing by calves, and stockpiling for grazing by cows in
 late fall and winter. Each of the six systems included two
 replications; each replicate contained 5.8 ha and was
 grazed by eight Angus cow-calf pairs for a total of 480 cow-calf
 pairs. Fescue was < 5% infected with Acremonium
 coenophialum. Pregnancy rate was 94%. Cows grazing fescue-
 ladino clover maintained greater (P < .05) BW than those
 grazing bluegrass-white clover, and their calves tended (P < .09)
 to have slightly greater weaning weights (250 vs 243 kg,
 respectively). Stockpiled fescue-red clover provided more (P < .05)
 grazing days and required less (P < .05) hay fed to cows than
 stockpiled orchardgrass plus either red clover or
 alfalfa. Digestibilities of DM, CP, and ADF, determined with
 steers, were greater (P < .05) for the orchardgrass-legume
 hays than for the fescue-red clover hay. All systems produced
 satisfactory cattle performance, but fescue-ladino clover
 combined with fescue-red clover required minimum inputs of
 harvested feed and maintained excellent stands during 6 yr.

 Abstract:  Aeschynomene (Aeschynomene americana L.) is a warm-
 season annual legume; to persist from year to year, its stands must
 regenerate from seed. Autumn grazing management must
 balance the need for seed yield with livestock needs for
 quality herbage. Aeschynomene was grown in pasture association with
 'Floralta' limpograss [Hemarthria altissima (Poir.) Stapf & C.E.
 Hubb.] on a Pomona sand (sandy, siliceous, hypothermic Ultic
 Haplaquod) in 1987 and 1988. Our objective was to
 measure the influence of three postgrazing stubble heights
 (SH) and four closure dates (CD, the times when autumn grazing was
 discontinued) on legume pod yield and amount of herbage left
 ungrazed at season end. Aeschynomene pod yield per plant and per
 hectare decreased as SH decreased from 24 to 8 cm, and as CD was
 delayed from 1 wk before to 2 wk after first flower. Ungrazed plots
 yielded 350 and 500 kg of pod ha-1 in 1987 and 1988, while the
 earliest CD and tallest SH treatment yielded 90 and 180 kg ha-1.
 Pod yield declined with delayed CD because inflorescences per
 plant, pods per inflorescence, and pod
 weight decreased. Most pod yield components tended to decline with
 decreasing SH, but no significant differences were
 detected. Though pod yields were highest with early CD and
 tall SH, approximately 50% of total herbage produced for these
 treatments remained ungrazed at season end. Thus, contribution of
 aeschynomene is reduced during a time when perennial
 grasses do not meet the nutrient requirements of grazing
 animals. Because taller SH leaves more ungrazed herbage, a
 potentially useful compromise between high seed yield and
 maximum forage utilization is to graze aeschynomene closely (8-16
 cm), but to end autumn grazing before flowering.
 Additional utilization may be possible if grazing is resumed after
 most pods are mature, but nutritive value of this later herbage
 generally is low.

 Abstract:  Forage grass cultivars are often grown in binary
 mixtures with forage legumes. Because performance of grass-
 legume mixtures cannot be reliably predicted from pure stand
 information of the components, testing of grass-legume
 mixtures is necessary to develop reliable mixture
 recommendations. The objectives of this study were to evaluate a
 large number of cultivars of several temperate forage
 grasses in binary mixtures with alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) for
 ground cover potential in a range of Wisconsin
 environments, and to develop and efficient cultivar screening
 program. Cultivars of nine species (146 total cultivars) were grown
 in at least one of five experiments. Experiments were seeded in
 spring of 1985 and 1986 at one of four locations
 divergent in both soil type and latitude. Grass persistence was
 determined after three growing seasons by evaluating the percentage
 of ground cover remaining. Grass species and genera varied in
 percentage ground cover, but were subject to
 interactions with years and locations. In general,
 orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and tall fescue (Festuca
 arundinacea Schreb.) had the highest ground cover (76%).
 Variation in ground cover among cultivars was detected in all
 species except diploid perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.),
 tetraploid intermediate ryegrass (L. hybridum), and
 festulolium (Festulolium braunii K.A.). Cultivars interacted with
 locations and/or years for all species, except reed
 canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.). Cultivar X location
 interactions appeared partially due to latitude for smooth
 bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.), tall fescue, and most
 ryegrasses, and to soil type for timothy (Phleum pratense L.).
 Conclusions regarding the development of a cultivar testing program
 differed for most species. A reasonable compromise in Wisconsin, to
 allow for testing each species in common trials, would be to select
 one southern and one northern test site.

 Abstract:  Botanical composition of grass-legume mixtures
 greatly influences the productivity and quality of the sward and is
 therefore an important variable in many agronomic
 studies. Four indirect methods of estimating the botanical
 composition of mixed swards of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and
 smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) were evaluated to
 determine their relative efficacy. The methods were the
 constituent differential method using either neutral detergent
 fiber (NDF) concentration or crude protein (CP) concentration as
 variables, a modified constituent differential method where NDF and
 CP concentrations were used simultaneously as
 variables, and near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS). Mean
 deviations of predicted alfalfa percentages from known values were
 lowest for NIRS at all stages of maturity and
 averaged 1.5 percentage units. Of the constituent differential
 procedures, NDF was the most reliable variable for predicting
 alfalfa percentage over all maturities with deviations
 averaging 2.9 percentage units. Based upon the results of this
 study, NIRS would be the preferred method for estimating
 botanical composition of grass-legume mixtures; however, in cases
 where NIRS is unavailable or inappropriate, the
 constituent differential method using NDF as a single variable
 would be an acceptable alternative.

 Abstract:  Previous research indicates that wheatgrasses
 (Agropyron and Thinopyron spp.) and sainfoin (Onobrychis spp.)
 produce high quality forage from early spring to summer on the
 Southern Great Plains. Little information is available on
 their potential for lamb (Ovis aries L.) production under
 grazing. Our objective was to determine levels of spring lamb
 production from three irrigated wheatgrasses, 'Hycrest' [A.
 cristatum (L.) Gaertner X A. desertorum (Fischer ex Link)
 Shatters], 'Luna' [T. intermedium subsp. barbulatum (Schur) Barkw.
 and D.R. Dewey], and 'Jose' [T. ponticum (Podp.) Barkw. and D.R.
 Dewey], grown alone and with 'Renumex' sainfoin (O. viciifolia
 Scop.). Replicated pastures grown on a Pullman clay loam (fine,
 mixed thermic Torrertic Paleustoll) were
 rotationally grazed (herbage allowance of 6.5% of body wt.
 d-1) by weaned Rambouillet X Suffolk wether lambs for an
 average of 77 d in spring of 1987 and 1988. Seasonal average daily
 gain (ADG) ranged between 45 and 69 g d-1 for
 monocultures and between 80 and 104 g d-1 for mixtures. Lamb
 production per hectare (PROD) for all mixtures was similar
 (463 kg ha-1), but higher than for monocultures (238 kg ha-1).
 Mixtures compared to monocultures had greater ADC (63%), feed
 conversion (55%), and intake (23%). For Jose and Jose-
 sainfoin, poor ADG after Week 7 was associated with low
 herbage crude protein (92-135 g kg-1) and organic matter
 digestibility (550-570 g kg-1). Jose (12.2 Mg ha-1) had the highest
 herbage accumulation and Hycrest (7.31 Mg ha-1) the lowest.
 Wheatgrasses, particularly when grown with sainfoin, provide good
 PROD during spring and early summer.
