Higher cutting could reduce annual bluegrass contamination in tall fescue seed
Preliminary Oregon research found that cutting at 28 centimeters (11 inches) rather than 5 centimeters (2 inches) reduced annual bluegrass collected with the crop without consistently reducing tall fescue seed yield.
AI Summary
Preliminary research in Oregon indicates that harvesting tall fescue at a height of 28 cm (11 inches) rather than the typical 5 cm (2 inches) can lower the amount of annual bluegrass seed mixed with the crop. The higher cut reduced bluegrass contamination while not consistently decreasing the yield of tall fescue seed. This finding suggests a potential method to cut seed‑cleaning costs.
