Forage Legumes

Forage Legumes is a class of forage crops comprising species of the family Fabaceae that are cultivated primarily for their vegetative biomass (rather than grain) to feed grazing or cut-and-carried livestock, and that are distinguished from other forages by their symbiotic capacity for biological nitrogen fixation.
