The large proportion of legumes in the sample and the generally high forage value of the species found suggest that Roman farmers possessed considerable expertise in the selection of some of the most useful fodder crops, including many of the most valuable annual Medics and clovers, and suggests that they practiced one of the principal methods of range improvement, the deliberate seeding of forage legumes, particularly subterranean clover, as well as other clovers and annual Medics, in natural grass swards in order to enhance their productivity. Concentrations of endrin in organisms collected in a cotton-growing area in the Republic of Chad in 1969 Sample No. Caroline Bird died Januin Nashville, Tennessee. She was a consultant to the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year in 1977 and was the chief writer of its report, The Spirit of Houston (1978). intertexta two serradellas: Ornithopus compressus and O. Popular as a lecturer and television commentator, Bird has played a leading role in the women's movement. lappaceum, among others, such annual medics as: Medicago trunculata, M. In addition to a number of hardy clover and medic species also found in contemporary samples of natural vegetation at Torre Annunziata, this sample contained a wide range of outstanding forage legumes: Trifolium pratense, T. (didn, 574), (points, 575), (liberal, 576), (late, 577), (sure. Grass species found in this deposit which are not native to the region today and are of known forage value included: Bromus hordaceus, Holcus lanatus, Agrostis stolonifera, and Poa annua. This study examines the evidence in the modern agronomic literature for the forage value of each of the plants found in the deposit. The remains were sufficiently well preserved to allow modern researchers to classify each by species. A deposit of hay stored in a shop in the Roman villa at Torre Annunziata, ancient Oplontis, presumably kept as fodder for draft animals, was carbonized by the eruption of Mt. Very little is known, however, of the management of grasses and legumes for grazing or hay in Roman meadows. Roman literary sources document the use of fodder crops such as alfalfa, tree-medic, vetch, fenugreek, horse beans, barley, lupins, turnip, and chick peas, among others. We know a good deal about the range of forage grown by ancient Roman farmers in pure stands as part of a rotation of other arable crops.
