Variety traits

Yield — tall fescue

Festuca arundinacea Schreb.

The yield of tall fescue is divided into seed and forage productivity. Indicators depend on the age of the sward, irrigation regime, and agronomic practices.

In the reference 82 varieties crop Tall fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.

Seed productivity of the crop is typically 400–700 kg/ha, reaching maximum values of 710–716 kg/ha in the 3rd–4th years of the sward's life. When evaluating seed yield, it is mandatory to adjust the mass to a standard moisture content of 12%. A wide-row sowing method with row spacing of 0.30 m is considered most favorable for the formation of high seed yields.

Forage productivity is evaluated by the yield of green mass and dry matter, with indicators varying depending on the year of the sward's life over a 5–7 year period. Average green mass values are 20–32 t/ha, reaching 80–85 t/ha under highly productive conditions, while dry matter yield is typically in the range of 12–18 t/ha.
