Abstract

Agronomy of Grassland Systems is an excellent reference, textbook, or guide for the forage professional, the best I have read promoting looking at forages in a systematic manner. It challenges researchers, extension specialists, consultants, and producers to think of their work as it fits into forage systems on a local or global basis. Using research from around the world, the book offers a unique global perspective; at the same time local producers will find it a practical reference for agronomic principles.
