Perennial legume forages for dry Mediterranean climates
The Perennial Legumes project is developing, through new plant discovery and adaptation of existing species, resilient perennial forage legume cultivars compatible with crop and livestock systems in the low and medium rainfall (<500 mm annual rainfall) mediterranean regions of southern Australia. Products developed by this project will create new opportunities for integration into mixed cropping and grazing systems at the paddock and farm level, either as components of permanent pasture, short term phase pastures or pasture cropping (overcrop) systems. The project team is undertaking breeding and selection within three key genera (Tedera, Cullen and Medicago) and will advance elite material to a stage suitable for commercialisation.ECHO - Underutilized Food Plants - Winged Bean Selections
From A to Z, p. 70 HAVE YOU TRIED WINGED BEANS, PSOPHOCARPUS TETRAGONOLOBUS ? There has been so much promotion of the winged bean that I find myself thinking all of our readers know about it. However, it is too important a plant to fail to bring it to your attention. This legume will vine up a four-meter pole. Nearly all parts are edible and high in protein.
Arachis pintoi
El maní forrajero ( Arachis pintoi ), se usa como alimento complementario en aves criollas. El cultivo ingresó como alimento de ganado bovino y debido a su alto contenido proteico, se ensayó en alimentación avícola, con resultados altamente positivos; la importancia radica en que baja los costos de alimentación y mejora los índices de producción, presentando como características sobresalientes, el ser resistentes al pastoreo, a la sequía, se da en la sombra y por ser una leguminosa perenne (fijadora de nitrógeno). La tecnología consiste en utilizar el maní ya sea en corte o pastoreo para mejorar la alimentación actual de la gallina india que se basa en maíz, sorgo, desperdicios de la casa, desperdicios agrícolas, frutas y otros.

I hope there weren't too many disappointed people. With the rain returning to our orchards again, the enthusiasm has flooded us and before I knew it April had dissappeared. To make up for the gap, I have added in a few extra articles to this months newsletter.

Arachis glabrata
Common names Rhizoma peanut (USA), creeping forage peanut (Australia). Origin and geographic distribution Native to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay between 13° S and 28° S. Introduced to Australia, the United States, India, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Description
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le genre Achillea (les achillées ) regroupe diverses plantes de la famille des Astéracées (ou Composées) dont la plus connue est l' achillée millefeuille ( Achillea millefolium ). Le nom du genre correspond au latin achillea , lui-même emprunté au grec akhileios , herbe d' Achille : Lorsque Achille au siège de Troie fut mortellement blessé au talon par la flèche de Pâris , la déesse Aphrodite , en larmes, lui conseilla d’utiliser cette plante pour calmer ses souffrances. Ainsi naquit l’Achillée, souveraine contre les blessures à l’arme blanche. Achille a également blessé Télèphe accidentellement, et le guérit à l'aide de l'achillée millefeuille.

CTAHR Sustainable and Organic Agriculture Program | Cover Crops and Green Manures for Hawai'i
Generally used for orchard crops such as coffee and macadamia, cover crops are planted to protect the soil surface between tree rows. They can improve trafficability between rows, benefit soil structure and microfauna, suppress weeds, promote habitat for beneficial insects, and reduce nutrient leaching. Green manures are frequently used in vegetable crop production.Green manuring is the plowing under or soil incorporation of any green manure crops while they are green or soon after they flower. Green manures are forage or leguminous crops that are grown for their leafy materials needed for soil conservation. Advantages of green manuring Improves the soil fertility Add nutrients and organic matters Improves the soil structure Improves soil aeration Helps control insect/mite pests, nematodes, and diseases Helps control weeds Promotes habitat for natural enemies Increases soil's biodiversity by stimulating the growth of beneficial microbes and other soil organisms
Green manuring
Un article de Ékopédia, l'encyclopédie pratique. Un engrais vert est une technique où l'on utilise des plantes à croissance rapide, qui se développent même en fin de saison en couvrant le sol de façon importante. Sur une courte période, elles constituent une forte quantité de matière organique récupérable pour enrichir naturellement la terre.
