Best stand establishment is accomplished when annual ryegrass is drilled 1\/2 to 3\/4 inch deep into a firm, well-prepared seedbed. Alternative seeding methods that can reduce seedbed preparation but require higher seeding rates are: drill into a rough seedbed prepared by disking, or broadcast over a rough or smooth seedbed and then disk lightly to cover the seed.

Color may be observed before that time; however in good growing weather where soil temperatures are above 65º F (18º C), expect 8 to 10 weeks for a complete stand of grass. The first mowing may be expected in about six weeks. Midnight possesses good mowing qualities and can be maintained at a cutting height ranging from 1\/2 inch to 2 inches (12 - 50 mm). Midnight does well in sand or heavy clay soils, and like all bluegrasses, performs best in soils with a pH of 5.5 to 8. Three to five pounds N per 1,000 square feet per year is adequate in most areas of the United States.

A non-selective herbicide such as glyphosate is ideal. This may be coupled with a summer fallow program, a summer annual forage program, or a combination of methods. It is important to completely kill old grass crowns, and sprout any remnant seed from undesirable plants.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e The best time to establish your new Kentucky 32 pasture is in the fall or early spring, depending on soil and moisture conditions. The new stand may be no-till drilled directly into dead sod, depending on timing and conditions. Otherwise, shallow-till the surface, harrow smooth, and drill 25-30 lbs seed\/acre. Drill no deeper than one-half inch. If broadcasting the seed, slightly increase your seeding rate and lightly harrow in. Roll lightly to help cover seed, firm the seedbed, and provide a good seed\/soil contact. Make sure you have adjusted the pH and applied a good starter fertilizer as recommended by your extension agent or fertilizer dealer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Do not graze the new pasture until the stand is well established. This normally means spring for a fall planted stand, or early summer for a spring-planted stand. The pasture should be about six in. tall before the first light grazing. Do not graze in frozen or extremely wet conditions, as this will damage the stand and reduce stand life. Control broadleaf weeds with recommended herbicides, and apply fertilizer as indicated by soil test.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Properly established and maintained, a Kentucky 32 tall fescue pasture will give many years of high yields of high quality forage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Rotational grazing is considered the best system to maintain pasture health and provide the most nutritious forage.

Cutting earlier will reduce yield, and cutting later will reduce the quality of the hay. A properly harvested first cutting will open the way to subsequent cuttings that are larger with very high quality forage. Proper soil management will result in the highest hay yields with higher quality. Consult with your extension agent or fertilizer dealer for local recommendations. Always cut no shorter than three inches to give the plants a better chance for regrowth. Also, always leave three inch stubble going into winter where winter kill may be a factor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e For horse pasture, quantity, quality, and type of pasture for horses is dependent upon the type of operation and nutritional needs. A breeding mare operation will have specific needs different than keeping a pleasure horse. Besides the needs of the horse, the region, climate, and management options must be considered. Low-maintenance and low-input pastures will require less management, but may be considerably less productive with lower quality forage. A well maintained Kentucky 32 tall fescue pasture, with proper fertilization and grazing management, should satisfy the nutritional needs of most horses, regardless of their purpose.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Hay production for horses centers on nutritional quality, palatability, and digestibility.

Of these, a September planting is the most likely to be successful. Seedlings of smooth Bromegrass experience less competition from weeds in the fall, and will become fully established the following spring, enabling them to endure the next summer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e The seedbed must be prepared carefully. Several weeks before planting begins, germinating weeds should be discouraged through light disking, herbicide application or other preventative measures. To ensure that the seedlings establish themselves properly, the soil should be fertilized with 30 to 40 lbs. of nitrogen (N) per acre. The soil should also be tested to determine if it is too acidic or deficient in potassium (K) and phosphorus (P). Ideally, the pH of the planting area should be above 5.5, the K level between 220 and 225 lbs. per acre, and the P level between 30 and 40 lbs. per acre. The best way to accomplish this is to take a soil sample, send it in to a laboratory and follow their recommendations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Drilling, which ensures more consistent coverage, is the preferred method for seeding smooth Bromegrass. Because the seeds contain little stored food, they should be planted 1\/4 to 1\/2 in. deep. This method requires 10 to 15 lbs. of pure live seed per acre. However, the light, chaffy seeds of smooth Bromegrass often cause feeding problems in standard drill mechanisms. Because of this, a native grass drill is the best way to drill smooth Bromegrass. This kind of drill has a toothed picker wheel rather than a fluted wheel, which enables it to accommodate chaffy seed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e The seed can also be broadcast with wheat or some other cover crop. After broadcasting 15 to 20 lbs. of pure live smooth Bromegrass seed, the cover crop should be seeded and the Bromegrass seed covered. By the time the cover crop is taken, the smooth Bromegrass should be established. Although this method takes longer, it has the advantages of providing a quick forage and preventing erosion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Smooth Bromegrass must be fertilized with nitrogen (N) to avoid becoming sod-bound. Although smooth Bromegrass responds positively to nitrogen rates of up to 275 lbs. per acre, applying between 80 and 150 lbs. per acre usually produces the highest economic return. This N may come from any one of a number of sources, such as liquid nitrogen solutions, urea or ammonium nitrate. If the stand is grazed in the fall, 30 to 40 lbs. of the N should be applied in late August or early September, with the rest used before the soil freezes in November or December. However, liquid nitrogen and urea may volatilize if applied before November or after February. In addition, excessive fertilization may lead to problems ranging from lodging during harvest to grass tetany and nitrate-N toxicity. The soil of a Bromegrass stand should also be tested at least every other year to determine if it has become phosphorus or potassium-deficient.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Maximum economic return from the application of nitrogen to smooth Bromegrass occurs between 80 and 150 lbs. per acre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Weeds such as Musk Thistle and Johnsongrass may also cause problems, particularly if the stand is to be harvested for seed. The best way to prevent these problems is to keep the stand healthy and able to compete, through fertilization and proper management. Roadsides and boundaries around fields of smooth Bromegrass should be mowed to prevent infiltration. Burning post-harvest residue may help eliminate an existing problem in a seed field.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Managing a stand of smooth Bromegrass must be done with some care. The grass is vulnerable to overuse during its stem elongation and heading stages. Due to the destruction of shoot apices, grazing or mowing at this time will lead to thinner stands and decreased regrowth. Furthermore, summer pasturing will result in overgrazing unless the Brome pasture has been understocked throughout the spring. Close grazing in fall may also cause depletion problems the next spring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Rotational stocking, particularly in conjunction with a pasture of warm-season grass for summer use, is the best grazing method (Figure 4). Animals should be concentrated in one pasture for a period of time determined by forage availability. Such a strategy ensures the use of a greater amount of forage and permits the smooth bromegrass to recover more completely, so that the pasture will provide adequately when it is grazed again. It also enables pastures of warm- and cool-season grasses to be used at times of maximum nutrition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e A pasture of mixed Alfalfa and smooth Bromegrass also has advantages. This combination limits the problems of bloat and short grazing seasons that come with Alfalfa, and causes better animal performance than a pasture of pure smooth Bromegrass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Smooth Bromegrass-Alfalfa also makes excellent quality hay. However, the smooth Bromegrass may not persist as well as other grasses in such mixtures. Studies in the midwestern United States show that Orchardgrass is more persistent than smooth Bromegrass when mixed with Alfalfa. The lack of smooth Bromegrass persistence in such mixtures is related to management decisions that favor Alfalfa. Mixtures of smooth Bromegrass and Alfalfa are normally cut on the basis of Alfalfa maturity and quality. The hay is often clipped too early or too short, thereby removing the growing point of the smooth Bromegrass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e A properly-managed stand of smooth Bromegrass can yield high-quality hay. This forage is best if it is cut between early heading and full bloom, typically around mid-May. Smooth Bromegrass left much beyond this period will decrease rapidly in nutritional content. By the dough stage, the grass will be nutritionally inadequate. Also, smooth Bromegrass should never be cut below a height of four in. or its regrowth potential will be greatly reduced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Seed production is another alternative. Smooth Bromegrass seed should be harvested when the culm, or stem just below the seed head, has matured and dried out, ideally on a day when the humidity is less than 50%. Once it has been collected, the seed should be turned daily to prevent heating. The stubble can also be collected but is much less nutritious than earlier-season hay. Seed yields typically range from 300 to 1,000 lbs. per acre, but a stand older than two years may exhibit production problems. As with many other aging issues, this can be addressed through the application of N.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e In summary, smooth Bromegrass can be a valuable cool-season grass, especially in conjunction with a legume such as Alfalfa. However, smooth Bromegrass is slow to recover from poorly-timed or extreme grazing or mowing. Older stands require N fertilization to remain productive. It should not be grazed or cut shorter than four inches and works best as part of a rotational-grazing program.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"hancockseed.com","offers":[{"title":"5 lbs.","offer_id":12205280165989,"sku":"BROME-RAW-5","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 lbs.","offer_id":12205280591973,"sku":"BROME-RAW-10","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 lbs.","offer_id":12205281575013,"sku":"BROME-RAW-25","price":144.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 lbs.","offer_id":6174218682400,"sku":"BROME-RAW-50","price":228.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2622\/2254\/files\/Bromegrass2.jpg?v=1710345251"},{"product_id":"little-bluestem-grass-seed","title":"Little Bluestem Grass Seed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eLittle Bluestem is a native, warm season perennial, medium-height grass.

This misconception is in part due to the potentially high-alkaloid content of native ecotypes, and to the frequent practice of delayed mid-Summer harvest of very mature Reed Canary Grass from wetlands that were flooded during the Spring. But modern Reed Canary Grass forage yields and quality are equal to or greater than those of other cool-season forage Grasses when harvested at a similar stage of maturity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Reed Canary Grass has superior persistence on poorly drained soils, yet its yield and persistence under moisture deficits is equal or superior to other commonly grown cool-season grasses.

It is, therefore, very adaptable to use as harvested forage or as pasture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eGrasses are mixed with legumes to minimize bloat potential, soil erosion, legume heaving and weed invasion inherent in legume monocultures, and to increase hay-drying rates. Recommended Grass composition varies from 20% to 50%, depending on use of the forage. For animals with high-nutrient intake requirements, reduced grass composition is desired. If grass composition exceeds 50%, forage intake potential can be greatly reduced.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Because it has a sod-forming habit, Reed Canary Grass can fill in gaps in the stand, and it will never forms clumps in the field, like those found with Orchardgrass. Reed Canary Grass is adapted to mixtures with legumes such as Birdsfoot Trefoil and Alsike Clover, which also tolerate wet soils. On upland sites in southern Minnesota under cutting and grazing, it is more capable than other grasses of preventing weed invasion of mixtures with Birdsfoot Trefoil, without excessively competing with the legume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Reed Canary Grass has a superior capacity to persist and remove nitrogen when irrigated with municipal and industrial waste effluents.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*Product packaging may appear different than what is pictured.\u003c\/strong\u003e~~~\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Reed Canary Grass tolerates a soil pH range of 4.9 to 8.2.

However, in isolation, the flowering culm may reach 80-90 cm in length. During the spring season, as shoots advance toward maturity, the lowest stem internodes become enlarged and form a storage organ called a \"haplocorm.\" The haplocorm is usually comprised of two shortened stem internodes, which gradually enlarge concurrently with the build up of food reserves. By the late boot to early-heading stage, adventitious buds in the haplocorm give rise to a new cycle of tillers. This regrowth is commonly called aftermath.

With advancing maturity, individual shoots exhibit growth stages. They include tillering, transition from vegetative to reproduction (late boot, early heading of seedhead, and flowering). These developmental stages need to be recognized when making management decisions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e The tillering stage represents the initial Spring growth. The main growing point (apical meristem) of the shoot is in a vegetative stage, producing new leaves. After a suitable period of development, this growing point is gradually transformed into a floral bud that soon produces a rudimentary seedhead. The shoot has entered the transition stage of development. Thereafter, leaf formation ceases and the leaf number is fixed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e The transition stage can be identified by splitting a shoot with a sharp blade in order to inspect the growing point. By this time the lowermost basal internode of the developing culm has commenced elongation, possibly raising the rudimentary seedhead together with the underlying meristematic zone to a grazing height. This vitally important meristematic zone contains cells which account for the central stalk (culm), as well as cells which account for the leaves. This zone represents the preferred regrowth mechanism if haplocorm buds have yet formed new tiller initials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e It is self-evident that Timothy, as well as many other grasses, should be carefully managed during early transition. If a high percentage of the shoots are in this developmental stage, it is wise to avoid wholesale destruction of this shoot zone, as might occur under \"management intensive grazing\" (MIG). Lenient grazing is advised until such time as haplocorm buds are capable of producing prompt competitive regrowth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e The appearance of new shoots indicates that food reserves have been restored and that a new regrowth mechanism is ready to function. New shoots also signal the time to initiate intensive grazing and for storing the forage from ungrazed pastures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Under-grazed pastures should be clipped at early-heading with a high blade setting so as to minimize destruction of vegetative shoots. Livestock relish the clippings at this stage of maturity. Additionally, it is wise to prevent seedhead development because plant hormones associated with flowering temporarily suppress new tiller growth. Destruction of seedheads promotes earlier aftermath growth ensuring development of new roots prior to the advent of arid conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Given approximately five weeks deferment from further defoliation, aftermath shoots start culm development. Stem internodes in the base of the shoot commence to elongate, elevating the meristematic growing point to a grazing height. The growing point may exhibit a developing seedhead, thus the leaf number is again fixed. If it remains vegetative, leaf number is indeterminant. As previously described, for the initial growth, the aftermath has reached the transition stage of development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Prior to internode elongation, the aftermath can be grazed with minimal risk provided sufficient leaf blade tissue remains in the stubble. Photosynthesis in the leaf blade canopy largely negates the need for stored food reserves. However, when internodes start to elongate, the meristematic growing point may be destroyed. When this occurs, the vigor of subsequent regrowth varies with the readiness of haplocorm to produce another cycle of tillers. If the bud-bearing region is not active, or if a new root system is not yet well established, the grass either goes dormant or perishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Leaf blades are rolled (as opposed to folded) in the shoot whorl. A prominent membranous ligule arises from the collar zone at the base of the blade. Early Spring growth is comprised chiefly of leaf blades because sheath elongation commences only after the blade is well formed. This growth habit provides a measure of grazing tolerance because the meristematic collar zone of most of the leaves is nested safely below the grazing height. Immature leaves severed above the collar continue development due to cell division, and expansion in the intercalary meristem located in the collar region.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Frequent moderate defoliation, as practiced in turf management, tends to suppress sheath elongation.

Surpass is nonsensescent, with tremendous green leaf retention extending the forage production period values comparable to Alfalfa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication or Use: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePasture, Food Plot, Cattle Forage, Cover Crop, Hay Production, Silage \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGermination Time: \u003c\/strong\u003e7 - 14 days, under optimal conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Locations: \u003c\/strong\u003eWarm Season, Transition Zone, Cool Season\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 - 4 feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight Requirements: \u003c\/strong\u003e8+ hours, full sun for best results\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvantages: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReduced levels of lignin resulting in higher feed intake and improved weight gains.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant: \u003c\/strong\u003eRecommended Planting time is spring and summer when night time temperatures are consistently 65+ degrees. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Detail\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreated seed\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved palatability and animal intake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved digestibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilk yields equal to corn silage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved resistance to Sugarcane Aphid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are 3 main BMR genes (6, 12, 18) of these, BMR 6 gives the highest levels of digestibility and animal performance. Increases have been recorded of up to 30% in beef produced per ton of feed, when compared with conventional hay grazers. In silage Sorghums, the BMR trait gives silage quality equal to that of high quality Corn silage. Hay products can achieve the same quality levels as Alfalfa hay. In normal growing situations, the brown color of the mid-rib on the leaf or the color of the stalk enable you to identify BMR products. The Brown Midrib phenomenon is correlated with a reduced level of lignin within the stalks. Lignin is indigestible in ruminants. Reducing the lignin results in higher feed intake and improved weight gains. The BMR trait can be less visible in the leaf midrib as the leaves mature.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The improved digestibility of the stalks with BMR 6 gene means stalk diameter is not the issue that it normally is with haygrazers. Because stalk diameter is not a key issue, lower planting rates can be used with BMR haygrazers, reducing the planting cost to one similar to conventional products while at the same time improving animal performance and hay quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e*Product packaging may appear different than what is pictured.\u003c\/strong\u003e~~~\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Plant in the spring - summer  at a rate of 25 to 35 lbs. per acre.

Thus, Fall seedings should be made about 45 days before the first killing frost (usually about 27 to 28 degrees Fahrenheit) so seedlings can develop well enough to survive the Winter. For this reason, Fall seedings are not recommended in the northern one-third of the state. Late August to early September are considered best Fall seeding dates in most of the state, with mid-September seedings satisfactory in the extreme southern areas. Spring seedings should be successful if made in late March to early April in the southern part of the state, and most of April is considered satisfactory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e A clean, firm seedbed is important to help plants make a more vigorous early growth and resist Winter heaving. Orchardgrass may be seeded with fly-resistant wheat in south Missouri, seeded with Spring oats in north Missouri or interseeded with Winter Wheat in early spring. Competition from small grains should be reduced by using them for pasture, hay or haylage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Buying a certified variety gives the best assurance of obtaining quality seed. The minimum specifications for certified Orchardgrass seed are 85% purity and 80% germination. Eight lbs. of clean, high germination seed is usually adequate to obtain good stands of Orchardgrass. A pound of Orchardgrass seed will contain about 645,000 seeds, roughly 2 to 2.5 times the number of seeds in one pound of tall fescue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeeding Methods:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Drilling Orchardgrass and the companion legume seed is preferred. The use of drills, such as the Brillion type or grain drills, will usually result in better stands at the same seeding rate, more controlled seeding depth and better seed distribution than broadcasting. Good results are obtained with grain drills when Orchardgrass is put through the grain box and the companion legume is seeded from the small legume box. The legume seed should be allowed to drop straight to the ground to prevent covering too deep. Drag chains on the drill will cover the seed adequately. Pull a cultipacker or light roller over the field to give good seed-to-soil contact and promote more vigorous seedling growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizer and Lime:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Seedings of Orchardgrass can also be made with broadcast equipment such as fertilizer trucks, buggies or tractor-mounted distribution. Broadcast equipment will not throw Orchardgrass seed as far as it will throw fertilizer or heavier seeds such as fescue. To help avoid uneven stands, drive the equipment close enough to overlap the previous spread pattern to ensure even seed distribution. Orchardgrass seed should be covered with about 1\/4 to 1\/2 in. of soil. Spike tooth harrows or \"brush type\" drags make good tools for covering broadcast seed. The use of a cultipacker or lightweight roller is very important for the same reasons cited above.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstablishment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Take a good soil sample and follow soil test recommendations for lime and fertilizer when seeding Orchardgrass or grass-legume mixtures. Best results occur after incorporating recommended limestone in advance of final seedbed preparation. Companion legumes will require lime applications to be worked into the soil at least six months preceding planting. This is especially true when preparing soils with high lime requirements or when Alfalfa will be in the forage mixture. Orchardgrass is more tolerant of acid soils than Timothy or Bromegrass but will respond to limestone that is applied for a companion legume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Phosphorus is very important for good root development. When soils are extremely low in phosphorus (10 lbs. P or less), it is a good practice to apply and incorporate the major portion of recommended phosphorus, then apply some as a starter. Band seeding with some phosphorus-starter fertilizer markedly improves seedling vigor of grasses or grass-legume mixtures. Soil test recommendations for establishment of Orchardgrass or Orchardgrass-legume mixtures will normally require 20 to 30 lbs. N, 50 to 120 lbs. P2O5 and 40 to 60 lbs. K2O per acre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Orchardgrass and orchardgrass-legume mixtures have high yield potentials.

Soil test reports should be used as a guide in determining rates of N, P2O52O to apply for desired yield goals. In the absence of a soil test, 80 to 120 lbs. N plus 40 to 60 lbs. P2O5 plus 100 to 140 lbs. K2O should be used. When using the heavier rates of N, apply 65 to 70% of the N with the Winter application. The remainder of the N should be applied immediately after the first cutting in August to encourage late Summer growth. Make the Winter application of fertilizer from early February to about mid-March in south Missouri and about two weeks later in the northern part of the state.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Normally, the top annual yields in south Missouri will range from 2.5 to 3 tons per acre. North Missouri yields may reach 3 to 4 tons per acre due to better moisture-holding ability of soils and slightly lower temperatures. Yields of Orchardgrass can be seriously reduced by high temperatures, low moisture supplies and the presence of plant diseases.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied when the stand contains 30% or more of Alfalfa, Red Clover or Ladino Clover. Mixtures of Orchardgrass Alfalfa will remove about 10 to 12 lbs. of P2O5 and 35 to 45 lbs. of K2O for each ton of forage. Potassium fertility is especially important when Orchardgrass is grown with Alfalfa, and should not be allowed to become limiting. Orchardgrass competes vigorously with Alfalfa for potassium, potentially reducing the yield and persistence of Alfalfa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Orchardgrass produces heavy growth during April and May. This growth can be used for pasture, hay, greenchop or silage. Graze it heavily or mechanically harvest it early to promote high yields of high quality forage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePasture Management:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e When managed properly, Orchardgrass will produce excellent results in pasture programs for dairy and beef. Properly managed Orchardgrass plants will have a higher leaf-to-stem ratio than Tall Fescue. Several research studies have demonstrated higher animal intake and better animal performance from Orchardgrass pasture as compared with Tall Fescue pasture, especially during Spring and early Summer. During a three-year study in Missouri, yearling steers gained 1.75 lbs. per day on Orchardgrass pasture, 1.16 lbs. on Tall Fescue, and 1.84 lbs. on Bromegrass. In the study, the carrying capacity of Orchardgrass was well above Bromegrass and slightly less than Fescue. In a similar study involving cow\/calf pairs, calves gained 1.80 lbs. per day on Orchardgrass and 1.51 lbs. per day on Fescue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Mixtures of Orchardgrass and Clover (Red or Ladino) are very popular for pasture in Missouri. Rotational grazing with heavy stocking rates of cattle will give better animal performance and reduce spot grazing. If plants are continually grazed short, they will be weakened and stands may be depleted. Close grazing can be especially detrimental during hot weather. Heavy grazing of Orchardgrass during October can decrease carbohydrate storage and lead to some Winter kill of plants. Stands of Orchardgrass will often be more persistent when grown with a companion legume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHay Management:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Orchardgrass will produce excellent yields when grown in pure stands or with legumes. When using pure stands for hay, it is imperative that nitrogen be applied in combination with adequate phosphorus and potassium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Harvesting the spring growth of Orchardgrass at late-boot to early-head stage will produce higher-quality forage than allowing the plant to mature further. This early harvest will also help increase yield of high quality re-growth. Forage researchers and several Missouri farmers have observed less damage to plants from Summer heat and drought when the first harvest is made early and plants have time to re-grow before the stress. Some south Missouri farmers have reported almost 100% loss of stands when harvest was delayed to the late bloom stage. This can be more of a concern when late harvest is followed by high temperatures and low moisture supply.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e As with close grazing, close cutting can lead to stand reduction. Harvesting at a height of four in. will help maintain strong root reserves, leading to fast recovery of re-growth and better stand persistence. Mixtures of Orchardgrass with Alfalfa or Red Clover should be managed to favor the legume. This is especially true with reference to fertilizer application and stage of maturity to harvest. Alfalfa Orchardgrass mixtures should normally be harvested when Alfalfa is at early bloom to one tenth bloom. This harvest state will produce good dry-matter yields, quality forage and favor stand persistence of the Alfalfa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Many diseases attack Orchardgrass. Stem rust, leaf spots, brown stripe and scald are among the most prevalent in Missouri and surrounding states. Recent evidence from the University of Missouri's Orchardgrass breeding program showed that the presence of rust on leaves lowered animal digestibility of the forage. Three years of grazing studies have documented that rust-infected Orchardgrass varieties gave 0.2 to 0.3 lbs. per day less average daily gains than varieties having little or no infection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Diseases of Orchardgrass are also partly responsible for stand depletions. Data from the University of Missouri showed that when the stem rust pathogen is present, Orchardgrass stands are severely depleted during late July and throughout the month of August. The best and most practical means of controlling diseases, hence improving animal performance and stand persistence, is to plant varieties that are resistant or highly tolerant to foliar diseases.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeed production:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e The production of Orchardgrass seed has not been a big business in Missouri. This is probably due to less demand than for Tall Fescue seed and because very few acres of Orchardgrass are grown alone, making them suitable for seed harvest. Some producers have experienced difficulty in producing well-filled, high-quality seed. With the release of a more persistent, better performing variety, some Missouri farmers may be interested in seed production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Good seed yields should be expected when farmers apply fertilizer according to soil test recommendations. This will usually include 60 to 80 lbs. N applied in December or January. Higher rates of N will tend to encourage lodging. Nitrogen needs to be applied earlier than for hay production, as early applications form reproductive growth over leafy growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Seed yields also can be increased by clipping and removing the stubble shortly after each year's seed harvest. The Summer re-growth may be used for grazing, but avoid heavy grazing during September and October. Forage can be grazed later in the fall when plants have become more Winter hardy.

The use of drills, such as the Brillion type or grain drills, will usually result in better stands at the same seeding rate, more controlled seeding depth and better seed distribution than broadcasting. Good results are obtained with grain drills when orchardgrass is put through the grain box and the companion legume is seeded from the small legume box. The legume seed should be allowed to drop straight to the ground to prevent covering too deep. Drag chains on the drill will cover the seed adequately. Pull a cultipacker or light roller over the field to give good seed-to-soil contact and promote more vigorous seedling growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFertilizer and lime\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Seedings of orchardgrass can also be made with broadcast equipment such as fertilizer trucks, buggies or tractor-mounted distribution. Broadcast equipment will not throw orchardgrass seed as far as it will throw fertilizer or heavier seeds such as fescue. To help avoid uneven stands, drive the equipment close enough to overlap the previous spread pattern to ensure even seed distribution. Orchardgrass seed should be covered with about 1\/4 to 1\/2 inch of soil. Spike tooth harrows or \"brush type\" drags make good tools for covering broadcast seed. The use of a cultipacker or lightweight roller is very important for the same reasons cited above.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePasture management\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e When managed properly, orchardgrass will produce excellent results in pasture programs for dairy and beef. Properly managed orchardgrass plants will have a higher leaf-to-stem ratio than tall fescue. Several research studies have demonstrated higher animal intake and better animal performance from orchardgrass pasture as compared with tall fescue pasture, especially during spring and early summer. During a three-year study in Missouri, yearling steers gained 1.75 pounds per day on orchardgrass pasture, 1.16 pounds on tall fescue and 1.84 pounds on bromegrass. In the study, the carrying capacity of orchardgrass was well above bromegrass and slightly less than fescue. In a similar study involving cow\/calf pairs, calves gained 1.80 pounds per day on orchardgrass and 1.51 pounds per day on fescue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Mixtures of orchardgrass and clover (red or ladino) are very popular for pasture in Missouri. Rotational grazing with heavy stocking rates of cattle will give better animal performance and reduce spot grazing. If plants are continually grazed short, they will be weakened and stands may be depleted. Close grazing can be especially detrimental during hot weather. Heavy grazing of orchardgrass during October can decrease carbohydrate storage and lead to some winter kill of plants. Stands of orchardgrass will often be more persistent when grown with a companion legume.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Management for hay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Orchardgrass will produce excellent yields when grown in pure stands or with legumes. When using pure stands for hay, it is imperative that nitrogen be applied in combination with adequate phosphorous and potassium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Harvesting the spring growth of orchardgrass at late-boot to early-head stage will produce higher quality forage than allowing the plant to mature further. This early harvest will also help increase yield of high quality re-growth. Forage researchers and several Missouri farmers have observed less damage to plants from summer heat and drought when the first harvest is made early and plants have time to re-grow before the stress. Some south Missouri farmers have reported almost 100 percent loss of stands when harvest was delayed to the late bloom stage. This can be more of a concern when late harvest is followed by high temperatures and low moisture supply.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e As with close grazing, close cutting can lead to stand reduction. Harvesting at a height of four inches will help maintain strong root reserves, leading to fast recovery of re-growth and better stand persistence. Mixtures of orchardgrass with alfalfa or red clover should be managed to favor the legume. This is especially true with reference to fertilizer application and stage of maturity to harvest. Alfalfa orchardgrass mixtures should normally be harvested when alfalfa is at early bloom to one tenth bloom. This harvest state will produce good dry-matter yields, quality forage and favor stand persistence of the alfalfa.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Diseases\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Many diseases attack orchardgrass. Stem rust, leaf spots, brown stripe and scald are among the most prevalent in Missouri and surrounding states. Recent evidence from the University of Missouri's orchardgrass breeding program showed that the presence of rust on leaves lowered animal digestibility of the forage. Three years of grazing studies have documented that rust-infected orchardgrass varieties gave 0.2 to 0.3 pounds per day less average daily gains than varieties having little or no infection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Diseases of orchardgrass are also partly responsible for stand depletions. Data from the University of Missouri showed that when the stem rust pathogen is present, orchardgrass stands are severely depleted during late July and throughout the month of August. The best and most practical means of controlling diseases, hence improving animal performance and stand persistence, is to plant varieties that are resistant or highly tolerant to foliar diseases.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Seed production\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e The production of orchardgrass seed has not been a big business in Missouri. This is probably due to less demand than for tall fescue seed and because very few acres of orchardgrass are grown alone, making them suitable for seed harvest. Some producers have experienced difficulty in producing well-filled, high-quality seed. With the release of a more persistent, better performing variety, some Missouri farmers may be interested in seed production.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Good seed yields should be expected when farmers apply fertilizer according to soil test recommendations. This will usually include 60 to 80 pounds N applied in December or January. Higher rates of N will tend to encourage lodging. Nitrogen needs to be applied earlier than for hay production, as early applications form reproductive growth over leafy growth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e Seed yields also can be increased by clipping and removing the stubble shortly after each year's seed harvest. The summer re-growth may be used for grazing, but avoid heavy grazing during September and October. Forage can be grazed later in the fall when plants have become more winter hardy.

Tall fescue is well adapted to the \"transition zone\" of the United States where summers are too hot and humid for cool season grasses, and winters too cold for warm season grasses.
