crop Meadow fescue,
where this is mentioned in the description.
The yield of meadow fescue is divided into forage yield, expressed as green mass or dry matter, and seed yield. The green mass of the crop typically ranges from 150–250 c/ha, while hay yield varies from 40 to 70 c/ha. Seed productivity under typical conditions reaches 5–8 c/ha.
Stand productivity depends on plant age, peaking in the 3rd–4th year of life, as well as on the water regime, as the crop is moisture-demanding. The final volume of harvested production is significantly influenced by seeding rates, mineral nutrition, and the choice of harvesting technology that minimizes losses from seed shattering.
