Dry matter — Tall fescue

Festuca arundinacea Schreb.

The dry matter of tall fescue is a key indicator of crop productivity and the basis for assessing the nutritional value of forage biomass.

In the reference 34 varieties crop Tall fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.

The dry matter yield of tall fescue depends on the intensity of agrotechnologies, irrigation levels, and nitrogen fertilization, ranging from 50–60 ц/ha to 100–114 ц/ha. When using intensive cultivation systems, the yield potential can reach 18–24 t DM/ha per season.

The content of nutritional components, such as crude protein and sugars, is standardized per 1 kg of dry matter. When harvesting forage, the agronomist must consider the inverse relationship between total dry matter mass and nutrient concentration that occurs when harvesting is delayed beyond the early heading stage.

General information about the subject — on the page Dry matter.
