Abstract
This bulletin addresses some of the major factors that must be considered when establishing birdsfoot trefoil. Birdsfoot trefoil is adapted to conditions in Wyoming and performs well when grown either as a monocrop or in mixtures with compatible grasses and legumes. Although slow to establish, the plant produces high yields of high nutritive-value forage. Birdsfoot trefoil is a potential crop that can serve as an alternative to alfalfa, especially under poor acidic soil conditions and where a bloating-free forage legume is desired.
