Variety traits

Productivity of tall fescue

Festuca arundinacea Schreb.

The productivity of tall fescue is assessed through quantitative biomass indicators, seed yield, and nutritional quality. This trait characterizes the longevity of the stand and its response to nitrogen fertilization and irrigation.

In the reference 63 varieties crop Tall fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.

The productivity of tall fescue is determined by the yield of green mass, dry matter, and seeds, as well as the output of feed units, digestible protein, and metabolizable energy. Under irrigated conditions, green mass yield ranges from 12.3 to 33.1 t/ha, and dry matter yield reaches 11–17 t/ha. Seed yield in a combined-use stand varies between 400–700 kg/ha.

The crop is capable of maintaining high productivity in one location for up to 5–7 years; however, a consistent decline in this indicator is observed by the 5th–6th year of growth. The intensity of yield formation is critically dependent on irrigation regimes and nitrogen nutrition levels. High productivity allows for a combined use system, pairing seed harvesting with subsequent biomass cutting.
