Winterhardiness and Agronomic Performance of Wildryes (Elmus species) Compared with Other Grasses in Alaska, and Responses of Siberian Wildrye to Management Practices

This report summarizes eight field experiments involving both native and introduced wildrye grasses conducted over a span of several years at the Matanuska Research Farm. Objectives were to evaluate winterhardiness, persistence, forage yield and other aspects of agronomic performance of numerous strains within several species of wildrye, asses their potential for forage use or conservation seedlings in Alaska and determine the effects on Siberian wildrye of seeding-year management options on seeding-year forage production, subsequent winter survival and on second-year forage production. Show Less
