Forage and Range Plants. The forage and range species collection includes approximately 1,000 species and includes major collections of Medicago (8,400 accessions), Vicia (6,100 accessions), Trifolium (4,500 accessions) and other forage and range genera (5,600 accessions). Lathyrus and Pisum species have been considered separately (see below) for the purpose of this costing study as both have significant use as a food legume for direct human consumption in addition to their role as forages. ICARDA states a strong requirement for additional professional help with managing this collection (see Section 4).
