Variety traits
Phalaris arundinacea L.
The productivity of Phalaris arundinacea L. is characterized by dry biomass and seed yield per unit area, peaking in the third year of life and declining after eight years of use.
In the reference 7 varieties crop Reed canary grass, where this is mentioned in the description.
The dry matter yield of reed canary grass under favorable conditions is 4–10 t/ha per year, with the crop demonstrating a high response to nitrogen nutrition, which can increase biomass yield by 300%. In seed production, when agronomic practices are followed, target yield indicators reach 3–3.5 dt/ha.
The dynamics of crop productivity directly depend on the vegetation phase: an optimal balance of mass and nutritional value for fodder purposes is achieved by the heading stage. To maintain stable productivity of perennial stands after an eight-year exploitation period, rejuvenation or intensive mineral fertilization is necessary.
