| Summary: |
"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. Forage plants, whether grazed directly, stored as feed for livestock, harvested as a biofuel or used for conservation are key elements of grassland agriculture. Nearly half of the land surface of the contiguous US is covered by grassland species showing extreme diversity among plant groupings within an area, each filling a niche in adaptation and production potential. Management of grasslands has been critical for human and agricultural development. Gradually, scientists and producers learned about the differences in growth properties, adaptation, yield and quality of the forage produced and their value for environmental conservation and crop rotations. Today, management principles of forage and grassland management are science-based to be sustainable in terms of economic return using practices that are environmentally friendly and socially acceptable"-- |
