Yield and nutritive value of binary legume-grass mixtures under grazing or frequent cutting

Abstract: Although most forage production in eastern Canada is comprised of species mixtures, little research has identified the best species to include in forage mixtures. Our objective was to identify binary legume-grass mixtures with high forage yield and nutritive value under either simulated grazing with frequent cutting or cattle grazing. The experiment was conducted at three sites in eastern Canada with 18 binary legume-grass mixtures of one of six grass species {Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), meadow fesc… Show more

“…The grass mix containing timothy and meadow fescue, known to be sensitive to frequent defoliations, performed nearly as well in terms of seasonal forage DM yield over three post-seeding years as the grass mix with tall fescue and meadow bromegrass, known for their greater tolerance to frequent defoliations. In a previous study conducted in eastern Canada, timothy, meadow fescue, tall fescue, and meadow bromegrass grown in binary mixtures with a legume species and grazed or frequently cut persisted well over five postseeding years (Bélanger et al 2018). Our results confirm that four recommended forage grass species in eastern Canada, including timothy and meadow fescue, perform well under the type of grazing management used in our study and the study of Bélanger et al (2018), whether they are in binary or complex legume-grass mixtures.…”
