Kevin Roger Trumpp, Kalyn Waters, José Dubeux, and Cleber Henrique Lopes de Souza
Nitrogen (N) is a key element in promoting plant and livestock growth and production. The two major ways to add N in pastures are fertilizer and integrating N-fixing forage legumes. The purpose of this publication is to compare these two options for cattle producers, farmers, Extension agents, and policymakers.
