Factors Affecting Yield and Nutritional Quality of Crested Wheatgrass

H. F. Mayland

Open publisher page 14 citations

Abstract

This paper reviews the literature on\nfactors affecting the yield and nutritional value of\ncreated wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum,.\nA. desertorum or A. fragile). The Agropyrons are\ncool-season perennial bunch grasses that are grown\nin the western United States and Canada where annual\nprecipitation ranges from 9 to 18 inches (230 to\n460 mm) and forage yield ranges from 400 to 3000\npounds of dry matter per acre (450 to 3360 kg/ha).\nForage production in the northern Great Plains is\nbest correlated with April to June precipitation\nwhereas in the area west of the Rocky Mountains production\nis best correlated with total autumn to\nspring precipitation.
