Simulated Grazing Effects on Triticale Forage Yield

Research

Field trials were conducted in 2001 and 2002 to evaluate the effect of simulated grazing on the yield of autumn-seeded triticale. Grazing was simulated with a flail-type harvester. A single early simulated grazing resulted in the highest overall combined forage yield, but managers should select the maturity at initial grazing and frequency of grazing based on their relative needs for grazable forage versus hay.
