Spring 2014
The overall goal of this research was to characterize components of legume seeds, and determine if specific seed components have potential functional properties for practical end-uses. The polymeric flavonoids proanthocyanidins (PA), also known as condensed tannins, accumulate in the seed coats...

Spring 2011
Two field studies assessed sward dynamics to legume removal with and without Canada thistle and other broadleaf plants (i.e. forbs). When grown in mixtures with grass, alfalfa had a more consistent negative yield response to legume removal compared to clover swards. Within established pastures,...

Forage yield and quality of chicory, birdsfoot trefoil, and alfalfa during the establishment year
Download2008
Bork, E. W., Donkor, N., Hudson, R., Chapman, G.
As part of a study to evaluate alternative forages for farmed deer, we compared forage yields and quality of birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) and forage chicory (Cichorium intybus) with that of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in north central Alberta, Canada. Despite similar plant densities among...

Gale, C. A., Maclean, A. H., Turchenek, L. W., McGill, W. B.
Monitoring was continued at instrumented sites which were selected in spring 1976, at Mildred Lake, Supertest Hill, the GCOS dike, and near Richardson Tower. Because of budget limitations, sites at Richardson were only monitored occasionally. However, information was obtained at a number of...

Legume-grass forage mixes for maximizing yield and competitiveness against weeds in early establishment
DownloadSpring 2010
A field experiment from 2003 to 2005 at two sites examined the impacts of forage species and legume proportion on forage sward production. Grasses generally established rapidly and out-yielded swards high in legume content, although legumes did improve forage quality. Alfalfa was retained at...

Long-term forage dynamics in pastures sprayed with residual broadleaf herbicide: A test of legume recovery
Download2015
Miller, A.J., Hall, L. M., Summers, B., Bork, E. W.
Legumes such as alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and white clover (Trifolium repensL.) are important components of northern temperate pastures where they increase forage productivity and quality, but are susceptible to decline when exposed to broadleaf herbicides. Little is known about the long-term...

Recovery of Legumes in Northern Temperate Pastures Following the Application of Broadleaf Herbicides
DownloadFall 2013
Field and greenhouse trials were conducted to assess the breakdown of soil residues of two broadleaf herbicide bioactives, aminopyralid and aminocyclopyrachlor, as well as associated legume reestablishment/recovery and pasture sward production dynamics. Greenhouse trials indicated legume seedling...

Revegetation and management of tailings sand slopes from tar sands extraction: 1978 results
Download1979
The results are reported of research into the revegetation of two areas on a steeply sloping dike composed of tailings sand from tar sand extraction at the Great Canadian Oil Sand Limited plant at Fort McMurray, Alberta. One area was seeded with three pasture grasses and two legumes in 1971 after...
