Abstract
This work is the introductive part of a research programme in progress at our Institute. The final aim of this programme is to build up new cultivars for drying (meal and hay) adapted to intensive forage systems such as those used in the irrigated plains of Northern and Central Italy. The traits we have studied are saponin content, crude protein and fibre content, dry matter yield and persistence.
Work supported by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, Project “Foraggicoltura Prativa”
