| Name: | Action 852 Quality Legume-Based Forage Systems for Contrasting Environments |
| Coordinating organisation: | Lithuanian Institute of Agriculture |
| Description: | The main objective of the Action is to increase the quantity and quality of homegrown proteins from regionally adapted legumebased forage systems. Temporal and spatial variation in legume performance occurs and this restricts the confidence of farmers in legume-based systems. If reliability is to be improved and the range of forage legumes extended in Europe we will require understanding of the constraints of environment, the reasons for divergence between species’ potential and actual performance, the causes of yield variability and lack of persistence, the mechanisms controlling diet selection in animals and the role of management. The complexity of the issues requires collaboration among scientists from diverse fields of research: genetics/plant breeding, physiology, agronomy, pathology, microbiology, animal nutrition, and systems modelling. |
