Yield of red fescue

Festuca rubra L.

An indicator of red fescue productivity, divided into seed yield (in kg/ha) and forage yield (green mass or hay in dt/ha), depending on the variety use type, stand age, and sowing density.

In the reference 33 varieties crop Red fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.

Seed productivity of red fescue is a determining factor for profitability, with good yields starting from 400 kg/ha. In breeding practice, values of 400–500 kg/ha have been recorded for productive varieties, and under experimental conditions with optimal stand density, they have reached 631–658 kg/ha.

Forage productivity varies depending on the purpose: green mass averages 80–120 dt/ha, reaching 500 dt/ha in high-yielding varieties, while hay yield ranges from 15–20 dt/ha to 86.5 dt/ha. Maximum seed yields are usually obtained from 3rd to 4th-year crops.

Yield indicators are critically affected by agrotechnical factors, including seeding rate, timing of nitrogen fertilizer application, and maintaining optimal stand density. Both excessive thickening and thinning of crops negatively affect the number of generative shoots.
