- Intervention effect In eight of 24 species by year comparisons, boot-heading harvest produced more dry matter than vegetative harvest.
- Intervention effect In five of 24 species by year comparisons, boot-heading harvest produced more dry matter than anthesis harvest.
- Intervention effect Anthesis harvest produced more dry matter than boot-heading harvest in only one instance.
- Association Crude protein production generally followed forage dry matter yields.
- Association In vitro dry matter digestibility production generally followed forage dry matter yields.
- Recommendation A forage height of 25 to 30 cm appeared to be the best first-harvest guide for foxtail grasses.
- Observation Foxtail grasses provided consistent season-long forage production.
- Observation Latar orchardgrass provided consistent season-long forage production.
- Observation Fawn tall fescue provided consistent season-long forage production.
- Observation Regar meadow bromegrass provided consistent season-long forage production.
- Observation Wheatgrasses produced little regrowth.
- Observation Manchar smooth bromegrass produced little regrowth.
- Recommendation Wheatgrasses can be used advantageously in forage programs that harvest hay at flowering.
- Recommendation Manchar smooth bromegrass can be used advantageously in forage programs that harvest hay at flowering.
