Summary

Since 1970 the University College of North Wales, in co-operation with the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Agriculture and Water, has been investigating the potential for forage production in all-year-round irrigated conditions in Saudi Arabia, and the principal results of the first 4 years of field experiments are discussed. Both temperate and tropical annual forages as well as perennial species were tested, and generally produced high yields with high nutritional value. Fertilizer responses and different management practices were evaluated and their relevance to the development of systems of forage production are discussed.
