Yield of smooth brome

Bromus inermis Leyss.

The productivity of smooth brome (Bromus inermis) is assessed based on green mass, hay, and seed yield per unit area. Maximum stand productivity is typically achieved in the 3rd–4th year of growth.

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

The average hay yield of smooth brome is approximately 4.5 t/ha, although under favorable conditions with proper agrotechnical practices, figures can reach 6–10 t/ha. Green mass in multi-component stands can reach 42–43.7 t/ha, while seed productivity varies from 0.34 to 0.7 t/ha.

Important elements of yield structure include shoot density and plant height. There is an inverse relationship between biomass output and nutritional value: maximum dry matter yield is reached by the seed formation stage, whereas the best forage quality parameters occur during the tillering and stem elongation phases.
