Evaluation of Alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i>) and Sericea Lespedeza (<i>Lespedeza cuneata</i>) to Improve Animal Performance in a Tall Fescue-Based Grazing System

Tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceous (Schreb.) Dumort. nom. cons. Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.] is the dominant pasture grass across much of the southeast of the USA. The species is productive, but grows slowly in summer. Plants also harbor an endophytic fungus (Epichloe coenophiala), wh...
