Forages, Volume 2
Description
Forages: The Science of Grassland Agriculture, 7th Edition, Volume II will extensively evaluate the current knowledge and information on forage agriculture. Chapters written by leading researchers and authorities in grassland agriculture are aggregated under section themes, each one representing a major topic within grassland science and agriculture. This 7th edition will include two new additional chapters covering all aspects of forage physiology in three separate chapters, instead of one in previous editions. Chapters will be updated throughout to include new information that has developed since the last edition. This new edition of the classic reference serves as a comprehensive supplement to An Introduction to Grassland Agriculture, Volume I.

Persons
KENNETH J. MOORE is Professor of Agronomy at Iowa State University. He received his BS from Arizona State University and his MS and PhD from Purdue University, He has taught graduate-level courses in field plot technique and design, pasture and grazing management, and forage quality and utilization. He advises graduate students and conducts research on pasture management and ecology.
MICHAEL COLLINS is Emeritus Professor and Director of the Division of Plant Sciences at the University of Missouri, Columbia. He received his BS from Berea College, his MS from West Virginia University, and his PhD from the University of Kentucky. During a 36-year career in forage research and teaching at the University of Kentucky, Lexington and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, he taught an undergraduate/graduate forages course and advised graduate students. His research emphasized forage management and postharvest physiology of hay and silage, with an emphasis on forage quality.
C. JERRY NELSON is Emeritus Curators' Professor of Plant Sciences at the University of Missouri. He received his BS and MS from the University of Minnesota, and his PhD from the University of Wisconsin. His research has focused on growth of grasses and persistence of legumes, and he is now active in agriculture-related international programs, especially in Asia.
