Description

Explore the historical and scientific evolution of grassland farming with Fodder Crops and Amenity Grasses. This volume, part of the Handbook of Plant Breeding series, examines the long-standing relationship between livestock and forage production. Since the post-ice age era, grasslands have served as the fundamental forage basis for ruminant animals used in meat and milk production. This book covers the development of various plant communities and the rich biodiversity resulting from different ecological conditions and usage intensities. It also tracks the historical shift toward improved crop rotations since the 16th century, when grasses and legumes became significant forage crops on arable land. This text provides a deep look into the botanical and agricultural history that shapes modern grassland management and plant breeding.
