Forage refers to plant material consumed by grazing livestock or harvested for animal feed, encompassing grasses, legumes, and other herbaceous vegetation used in agricultural production systems. Research published in Agronomy Research examines multiple dimensions of forage science, including the comparative evaluation of silage traits in crops such as maize and hybrid giant napier grass, and the effects of nitrogen fertilization on sorghum grown under saline irrigation conditions. Studies have investigated the role of biofertilizers in improving forage quality in maize silage and meadows, with attention to downstream impacts on milk quality and farm economics. Near-infrared spectroscopy techniques have been applied to characterize biofertilizer effects from hay litter-bag experiments, while research on mycorrhizal modifiers has explored pH dynamics in sorghum-sudanense systems. Additional work has assessed digestibility of tropical forage grasses like Trypsacum laxum when supplemented with spirulina in guinea pig feeding trials. This body of research addresses critical challenges in forage production, including optimizing crop selection for silage, enhancing nutrient management under environmental stress, and improving feed quality through biological amendments, all of which contribute to sustainable livestock systems and agricultural productivity.
