Intermediate wheatgrass: A new perennial multi-use crop
2022年10月11日 · Intermediate wheatgrass is a cool-season grass with a growth pattern like other widely grown forage grasses such as smooth bromegrass. When harvested for forage, its yield and forage quality are affected by crop maturity. Intermediate wheatgrass has greatest forage yields beginning at flowering but greatest forage quality at vegetative stages.

Vernalization requirements of Kernza intermediate wheatgrass
2021年11月9日 · These results demonstrate the strong dependence of plant heading percentage on the exposure time to cold under short days and also the moderate (i.e., nonextreme) primary induction requirements for flowering of Kernza intermediate wheatgrass. Other perennial grasses require longer periods of exposure to cold temperatures for flowering induction.
