Plant height — Timothy grass

Phleum pratense L.

An important morphological trait of Timothy grass productivity, measured from the soil surface to the top of the spike-like panicle during the mass flowering stage.

In the reference 29 varieties crop Timothy grass, where this is mentioned in the description.

The plant height of Timothy grass in competitive variety trials usually ranges from 80 to 100 cm, with an overall biological range of 20 to 130 cm. Short-stature forms of up to 50 cm are more frequently observed under intensive grazing or unfavorable growing conditions.

This parameter correlates with biomass yield and determines the economic purpose of the variety. Tall plants are preferred for haymaking; however, excessive growth in dense stands can lead to lodging, which is critical when cultivating the crop for seed.

The trait is taken into account when developing agricultural practices, including mowing schedules and equipment settings. Cutting height directly affects the regrowth rate of the stand after mowing, which is necessary to ensure the productivity of subsequent vegetation cycles.
