IPNI Releases Fifth Edition of Southern Forages Textbook


February 12, 2015 , Peachtree Corners, GA, USA - The International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) has released the Fifth Edition of Southern Forages: Modern Concepts for Forage Crop Management authored by Dr. Don Ball, Dr. Carl Hoveland and Dr. Garry Lacefield.

Southern Forages was first published in 1991 with a wide range of audiences in mind. This Fifth Edition is substantially updated from the widely acclaimed Fourth Edition released in 2007. The book remains a modern, practical book that emphasizes real-world aspects of forage establishment, production, and utilization, and is well suited as a textbook for forage courses in colleges and universities.

Though the book is most applicable to the Southern U.S., many of the forage species discussed can be grown in other parts of the U.S. …and most of the concepts can be applied to forage crops virtually anywhere.

Southern Forages is of value to: livestock producers, wildlife managers, agricultural extension agents, Natural Resources Conservation Service personnel, vocational agriculture teachers, ag. retail, consultants, students, and all others interested in forage crops.
