Biological.2C ecological and biochemical properties Onobrychis viciifolia



onobrychis viciifolia , ixodes scapularis (deer tick)


the genus onobrychis comprises 54 different species of o. viciifolia of greatest agronomic importance. 2 different agricultural types of o. viciifolia known. single-cut type characterized vegetative regrowth after cutting , origin in europe. generative regrowth after cutting typical second or double-cut type. originated in middle east double-cut type grows larger single-cut type. compared other forage legumes both types weak in competition , regrowth after mowing considered low. yields of common sainfoin lower of alfalfa , clover.


in terms of symbiotic nitrogen fixation atmosphere, common sainfoin not specific other legumes. relatively broad range of rhizobia genera able colonize roots of o. viciifolia. common sainfoin open pollinating plant, pollinated nectar feeding insects. therefore, o. viciifolia promising crop enhance biodiversity within agro-ecosystems. pollination biology leads difficulties in breeding programs resulting in low number of registered cultivars.


the leaves of common sainfoin contain high levels of condensed tannins. content can more 5 times higher in clover species or alfalfa .
