Leguminosae Lespedeza sp. Lespedezas are of major importance for pasture and, to a lesser extent, for hay production in the Since pastures are generally self reseeding, acreage in lespedeza is probably near 40 million. The species grown in the U.S. are Sericea lespedeza, Korean lespedeza, and Striate lespedeza...

This publication discusses tools that can be used to manage internal parasites of sheep and goats that are becoming resistant to conventional wormers. One such tool is the forage sericea lespedeza. Condensed tannins and, in particular, the high-CT forage sericea lespedeza are discussed in this paper. An overview of...
