Productivity of smooth brome

Bromus inermis Leyss.

A comprehensive indicator encompassing the nutritional value of green mass and dry matter, as well as seed yield. The yield level is determined by the stand structure, the age of the crop, and the intensity of agricultural practices.

In the reference 11 varieties crop Smooth brome, where this is mentioned in the description.

The forage productivity of smooth brome is estimated by the yield of green mass and dry matter, averaging 4.5 t/ha of hay, with figures reaching 6–10 t/ha under favorable conditions. The productivity of multi-component stands can amount to 420–437 c/ha of green mass and 82–86 c/ha of dry matter.

The seed productivity of smooth brome is determined by the number of generative shoots per unit area and the thousand-seed weight, varying from 0.34 to 0.66 t/ha. Important factors include the age of the stand, which influences the ability of shoots to form inflorescences, and the management regime, including mowing frequency and the harvesting stage.
