Sommaire en anglais
Native forages have the potential to provide drought
tolerant, low maintenance, and long term stable forage
production. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)
has been conducting research on native forages for
decades. AAFC researchers recognize their potential
benefits and continue working on developing cultivars,
some of which are included in this field guide. With
genetic enhancements, through selection of desired
traits which overcome challenges in establishment and
seed production, native forages can provide choices that
include: high productivity under a range of environmental
factors, improved nutriental value and stand persistence.
