Popis: Two experiments were completed to determine the influence of season/year and species on forage quality of Indigofera accessions. In Experiment 1, leaf material was collected from five Indigofera species (i.e., I. amorphoides, I. arrecta, I. brevicalyx, I. costata and I. cryptantha) by harvesting six middle plants of a plot in the autumn of 2003 and the autumn of 2004. In Experiment 2, edible forage (leaves +
