forage crops were widely grown in the natural pastures in Şanliurfa, Turkey.
This legume forage crops are Vicia sativa L. subsp. sativa L.,
Vicia narbonensis L. var. narbonensis L., Vicia palaestina
Boiss., Vicia hybrida L., Vicia lutea L. var. lutea Boiss.

retusum L., Trifolium campestre SCHREB., Medicago truncatula
GAERTN. var. truncatula Schultz Bip., Trigonella mesopotamica

cassius Boiss., Melilotus officinalis (L.) DESR., Coronilla scorpioides
(L.) W.D.J. Koch. Nodulation, nodule colors and shapes were examined at the
blooming period of forage legumes. In this study, the colour of the interior
of nodules are pink-red colour and may be related to high rates of nitrogen
fixation in legume crops.]]>Albayrak, S. and C.S.
