Abstract

Abstract : Inclusion of warm‐season forage legumes in livestock grazing systems may increase forage quantity by maintaining the grazing season during dry periods and enhancing nutritive value. Two field experiments were conducted to evaluate forage yield and nutritive value of several warm‐season legumes across different environments and soil pH levels in Oklahoma and Texas.
